New school year means new books for my class library…except for Finding Grace and Save Me (don‘t judge me; I am completely obsessed with Maxton Hall) #sorrynotsorry

The Invisible Husband of Frick Island | Colleen Oakley

so-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5
This one has been on my bookshelf for a while now so I decided to give it a go…BUT…this started out strong, fizzled a little and the ending was just ok. I had high hopes for this book because the story itself seems so interesting and fun but it just felt draggy…idk maybe it was just me🤷🏼‍♀️

The Fake: A Novel | Zoe Whittall

He has slept through most of his thirties, and now here is this person who seems to have come from another realm specifically to energize him, to destroy any feelings of spiritual, psychic, or sexual lethargy. He feels reborn in this dangerously new passion-first and passion-only life.

Garden of Small Beginnings | Abbi Waxman

Would anyone be interested in joining me for a #LMPBC of our own? It‘s not done through Litsy anymore, but I‘d love to do it on our own if a couple of people are interested. I took this picture recently to celebrate the fact that I finally had all of Abbi Waxman‘s books, and might use The Garden of Small Beginnings as my starting book if we decide to make this happen. Of course, I have a lot of others to choose from though. @LitsyEvents

The Garden of Small Beginnings

BookishBrunette1 @kspenmoll I've read and loved The Bookish Life of Nina Hill and Adult Assembly Required. According to ChatGPT this is the order her books are “supposed“ to be read in but I love the fact that each of her books can be read as a stand alone as well. 1w

bookandbedandtea I'd be interested in joining! 📬 1w

BookishBrunette1 @bookandbedandtea would you be willing to get in touch via Facebook messenger or email for the planning process? That might be easier and faster than here since there isn't an instant messaging feature or a way to contact each other directly other than commenting on each other's posts (unless there's a feature I don't know about.) 1w

StayCurious I‘d be interested but I‘m in Canada. Not sure where you both are posting from? 7d

BookishBrunette1 @StayCurious I‘m in California. I‘m not sure where @bookandbedandtea is posting from. 7d

hya Hii!! Nice to meet you ❤️ I wanted to ask what is LMPBC and how can one be part of it?? I live in India btw 7d

BookishBrunette1 @hya I don‘t remember what each letter stands for. We each start with a book from our own shelf, and write our thoughts in the margins (or a separate paper) as we read. Once we finish our book, we send it to another participant. By the end of the swap, every participant has read their own book and all of the books chosen by other participants, and shared their thoughts. It‘s fun, but it might be hard to do since we live so far apart. 6d

bookandbedandtea I'm in Colorado. I'd be happy to send you an email if you'll add yours here. I agree that it would be easier to coordinate that way. 6d

BookishBrunette1 @bookandbedandtea mine is varela.sophia01@gmail.com 6d

bookandbedandtea @BookishBrunette1 I just sent you an email 😀 5d

hya @BookishBrunette1 oh ok got it!! And I agree it'll be really difficult! 8h

hya @BookishBrunette1 thank you for replying 😊!! 8h

So I thought this week would be easier but work is still kicking my butt & I‘m three days behind in haikus. This one for Tuesday is inspired by the picture I took waiting for takeoff to Hilo last week.

Made it to page 39 and had to stop. Boring, not my type of genre I like.
