69 Million Things I Hate About You was just too much and I still can‘t get it off my mind! Have you ever read a book where you just liked everything about it? The characters, the plot, the flow, the ending? There are scenes that still crack me up when they pop into my head.

My husband is not a reader (aside from hunting regs & articles 😄), however he fully supports the fact that reading is not enough for me, I need to own/write in my own copies. I'm a re-reader & like to revisit the best passages that I have underlined & annotated. Anyway, he did some early shopping for my birthday & came home with these. I'm so excited - I've had Ragged Company on my TBR for so long!! And how beautiful is that Embers cover?! 😍

Perry L. Crandall was the first character to pop into my head when I saw the #MellowCharacter prompt. This book was one of the sweetest stories and it never got the attention it should have when it came out (2007).

I‘m on page 27 and really like the start of this. Three friends win the lottery, This tells the story of the first friend. Alternating first person with her love interest. Included with kindle unlimited.

I had an appointment this morning and spent most of the afternoon working on a puzzle, so I‘m a little late to #two4tuesday

1. No, but I realized that I need to revamp my wishlist.
2. Maybe? I ordered a book for my brother-in-law but haven‘t heard from the bookstore. I‘d rather get it from them than from the big company.

This is the second Wagamese novel I‘ve read and I‘ve loved both. A story about homeless people winning the lottery could easily tip into cheesiness but this is a beautiful and empathetic story of people who are often unseen. Each character was whole and real and I teared up several times. It is a very human book. As the novel progresses we learn each characters back story and how they ended up unhoused and how they cope with newfound luck

I felt like a change of pace for Sunday night reading. I am no scientist but I enjoyed the main character's passion for her job.
