1. About 600. I‘ve been going through the ones I‘ve read and offering them to family & friends. The ones not claimed go to LFLs, shelters, etc. #Roll100 ( @PuddleJumper ) & #ReadOrDonate ( @julieclair ) have helped me condense my collection.
2. Tagged.
Thanks for the tag, @TheSpineView 🤓
pickPerfectly lovely. A cozy city-country swap (grandma & granddaughter trade homes for two months) with generations learning from each other.
I realize there are bits in the story that might make it less cozy for others. Trigger warnings under spoiler in the comments.
pickI was in serious need of some lighthearted reading, so picked this up again. I‘d read this one years ago, and I still found it amusing. I love the narrator‘s use of footnotes because it‘s sort of the way I speak… and it shows just how ridiculous that can sound. Good for a lighthearted and amusing read.
pickI bought this book secondhand years ago and forgot I even had it until I saw Netflix had made a movie. I figured I should probably read it, so I could watch the movie😂. Overall, I enjoyed it, even though everything lined up too neatly for it to be realistic. I will say, if you liked this book, do NOT watch the movie. They changed everything. The only good change was who she ended up with in the end.

One of the activities for Indie bookstore day was a blinddate with a book bag. I chose the Sun and self care theme- it held all natural skin care and a very pretty copy of Beach Read- I was so bummed to get there in the afternoon when only 5 choices were left- there were so many cool themes to choose from! I love my local indie- Four Seasons in Shepherdstown WV.

One of the #Dazzling books that Judith Krantz wrote in the 1980s-90s that “helped define a new sub-genre of the romance novel - the bonkbuster or "sex-and-shopping" novel.” I both read her books & watched the dazzling mini-series & movies that were made from them back in the day. ✨?✨
pickI read about this somewhere, got it from the library and read it at night before sleeping when The Light Pirate stressed me out too much. A light romance ( the male character‘s inability to remember condoms I think was meant to be scatterbrained but after reading Ejaculate Responsibly it just feels tone deaf)
so-soCooper‘s books definitely fall into the #GuiltyPleasure category. Despite being a National Treasure, I don‘t think she‘s that great a writer, but the books are fun, if a little on the long side - do editors fear to tell their top authors to make cuts?
