CogsOfEncouragement
The Switch | BETH. O'LEARY
post image
Pickpick

Perfectly 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.

CogsOfEncouragement Sister/granddaughter has lost battle with cancer before story begins, but is often discussed. A mother/daughter deals with severe depression. The MC has a cheating boyfriend. A character has an ex cause him to rarely see his 9 year old daughter. 8h

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView

1. I sure do… I would guess I have over 500 books in my library…
2. Done… although I had a few very good reads this month!

TheSpineView Nothing like a personal library. Thanks for playing 7h

Controversial take: books set in the early 2000s could be considered historical fiction. Read this article over on Book Riot to see why.

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1) roughly 800 books, I guess. My kids probably have about 600 books together. 🫣🫣

2) phew, difficult to choose. Quite a few good books.

TheSpineView I was afraid to do an actual count.🤪 Thanks for playing 10h
julesG @TheSpineView I guesstimated. How many books on a shelf x the amount of shelves. Then rounded up; some shelves are not only double stacked but have some books crammed on top too. 🫣🫣 10h

Memorial: A Novel | Bryan Washington
post image
Pickpick

I thought the characters in this were realistically written, real feelings, real dialogue - I felt so involved in their lives I found it hard to put down. Obviously Mike & Ben weren‘t the best suited but I think some relationships are like this 🤷‍♀️ and it was depicted beautifully- I loved the way we got to see glimpses of their past & the way we sometimes have to infer reasons for the way the characters are, we are trusted as readers. 🤍
