My yard has turned into an absolute JUNGLE this summer. I've never seen the ivy come up onto the porch before...oops. 😅 I'll deal with it this weekend, but it's also kind of a vibe?

I started this book this morning and it's super weird. A man starts morphing into a shark within the first few pages. I'm intrigued enough to keep going, but definitely unlike anything I've read before.

Soubhiville I loved that book! And I like your porch, feels very private and shaded. 12h

This was a sweetheart of a book. A trip to a magical place, but also a voyage to self discovery and revelation. Elsy is struggling with her identity after a difficult breakup, and a trip into the pages of her favourite romance series is just what she needs. I loved watching her rediscover herself, and the romance was lovely. The ending held a little surprise, as Elsy found she was strong enough to do the right thing for herself. A magical read!

McBride resonates with many students through its relatable characters. It addresses mental health challenges & the prejudice faced by Black youth in a way that is honest but still appropriate. The story doesn‘t shy away from these difficult topics, yet it presents them in a way that‘s accessible to YA readers. By exploring these issues, young readers are empowered to engage with real-world problems & find the confidence to speak up for change.

I was hooked from the opening chapter and the great dialogue and next thing I know, I'm sighing and giggling as the book progresses and around the last idk 20-25%, this book had me crying. Granted by then it had gotten to a particular moment of grief, and it triggered my own which was cathartic.

I have too many feels from this one.

Oh man this one tore at my heart; grief that lingers across generations and stitched back together with love. The writing is beautiful with likable characters and full of magic. This might be my favorite EH book, and I‘m late to the game since it came out in 2017. Book #56 in 2025

I was talking with a friend of mine just yesterday and saying Isabel Allende is an author I‘ve had on my shelves for years!

I‘ve had the tagged book on my TBR for a long time. And it‘s going to have to wait several more months since I don‘t have it with me.

I am back home and have lots of work ahead of me so I have to temper my reading mojo! I am about to start the third book in the On the Calculation of Volume series, which has fortunately been translated in Dutch.
I also hope to read Shark Heart. Coco & Frankenstein I will combine audio and print. Audio was free and I‘ll probably spend some time driving this week.

AmyG Shark Heart was lovely. 5d

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @Suet624 @Lesliereadsalot it‘s back to work and books but that‘s okay for now! I am totally chill after three weeks of wind and sun and waves 🩵 5d
