Your Life Is Mine | Nathan Ripley

I‘d rather be at home reading but when your oldest son and husband are the coach and assistant respectively, AND your youngest son plays on the soccer team as a mom you have to come out and cheer. ☀️📚⚽️ Not sure I like this one; the dialogue between characters is just getting under my skin and not in a good way. Only about 20% in though, hopefully it gets better? #netgalleyarc #soccermom #summereading

Having breakfast at my favorite coffee shop! Have been tutoring a student,&this book is her summer reading pick. I have a so so reaction to this book. It interested me in the beginning,but about half way through it went downhill for me.For me a rather absurd,unrealistic ending,even for historical fiction! My student will be finished by Monday;curious to hear her reaction to the last part of the novel.

Cinfhen I liked this one! Ending surprised me but didn‘t take away from my reading enjoyment 6y
kspenmoll @Cinfhen My student likes it too! It did get good reviews! She told me that the book makes her reflect, make historical connections, & talk in her head- perfect! What you want in a reader.She had a unit on Puritan/ early colonial lit this past year. The writing & characters are well done;the quick plot changes just did not work for me,nor the ending. 6y
minkyb I‘m with @Cinfhen on this one. Your student sounds quite interesting! 6y
kspenmoll @minkyb She is wonderful! I am predicting she will be with you & @Cinfhen 6y
Cinfhen I‘m REALLY impressed with your student‘s assessment 6y

Someone just sign up for the “Babies Summer Reading Program”. She gets a sticker for every book she reads or every book I read to her.

Summer temps have arrived early 🕶☀️, but the mornings tend to be cooler, so I‘ve been enjoying quiet moments to myself. A time of reflection, journaling, dreaming and catching up on last minute reads before the end of the month.

Weekend read. This one has been sitting on my shelf for years, my own anxiety keeping me from starting another book about mental illnesses, but it's time to give it a chance. 💛 #allthebrightplaces #jenniferniven #youngadult #ya #summereading

Racing through this series and quickly becoming an addict. I'm having trouble picturing the characters as they are described and not how they were portrayed in the TV show. Does anybody else have this problem with books turned shows/movies?! #summereading #julyseries #seriesreading

christineandbooks Love this TV show but just couldn't read the books. I made it through maybe three of them before stopping. The differences between the books and show drove me crazy (including how the characters looked - didn't match up with the actors playing them if I remember right). Also I just didn't like the author's writing. 7y
monkeygirlsmama I haven't read this series, but I know exactly what you mean. That's why I much prefer to read THEN watch as opposed to the other way around. Doesn't always work out that way though, and in those times I almost always struggle with the portrayal being not quite what I had conceived mentally. 7y
Kendra.Diane @christineandbooks I know I'm trying to make it so that I'm not comparing to the two but it is hard!! @monkeygirlsmama I know!! I'm a stickler for book before movie!! 7y

Hey Hamil-fans. You can watch a video I made wherein I sort Hamilton characters into D&D classes. 🙌🏻
