pickThis was a solid contemporary romance. About 2/3 through this was just a middle of the road, “fine” romance. Entertaining enough, but nothing stood out. However, the third act was incredibly mature and well written. Adults actually talking to each other! Who knew how satisfying that could be (sarcastic tone here)? 4⭐️
panThis started so confusing and after the first 5 chapters I gave up… not used to doing this so idk what to do … sucks
Took a little time away from work to see tagged book author this afternoon with @JenReadsAlot and @peaKnit - highlight of my day...

so-soEh, this was just okay. I liked that he was the sunshine and she was the grump…. But there was a bit of a plot hole/problem at the beginning that I never truly forgave if I‘m being honest.
Listening to A Forty Year kiss to prep for the author‘s visit to our library next month mostly because, gah, love the author. Meanwhile while walking in 90 degree heat in WI, I heard his great and cozy description of “toasty”. Auspicious! 🥵 I‘m toasty but NOT cozy. lol

2. It depends - if it‘s an automatic author could be stand alone, if it is series I want to have and loan out, I may pre-order. I try not to buy books often anymore. Edited to add - I forgot I preordered The River is Waiting by Wally Lamb on audible - I couldn‘t wait though I‘m close to the top of the hold list. 🤦🏼♀️😃

"It was dusk on a winter day, and from high on the mountain came barking, drifting down above the snow like peals of a bell, one, two, three, four, more, just to say the light was leaving, but that was all right: here I am, I'm a dog, all is well."
