Started the #BookClub selection, listening to the #Audiobook old school style with CDs 💿!
pickLeft my kindle at home so picked this up at the airport and ended up all but finishing same day. I really liked the main character and the premise of the book. I also thought. It shows great writing skill that so much of the novel is ‘tell‘ vs show because Margaret is narrating her family history but it‘s still compelling. Could have done without the forward love story - Margaret and Alice were enough for me
so-soI‘ll never understand how it‘s possible to suspend disbelief enough to get on board with the ridiculously compressed timelines in the romance genre: meet/initial dislike/sleep together/fall in love/introduce to mom/misunderstanding/conflict/breakup/heartbreak/resolution of conflict/reconciliation/happily-ever-after…in 2-3 weeks. What saves Emily Henry books from being chucked at the wall is the delightful snarkiness of the main character.
Picked up from the library today! (And can I also say how heartwarming it was to see so many kids at the library when it is a rather pretty day in September with SO many choices for a Saturday.)
Big THX to @Nutmegnc for the tiny book / rec. I have more poetry to read after looking up the authors mentioned 💖
I had to go to two libraries for my pickups since I frequent both and can never know which hold comes up when 🤷🏻♀️ 😂
pickFelt more like a TJR than an EH book, but maybe that‘s because I‘d just read a TJR before this one. Loved the hero 💕
pickI like Emily Henry, and I liked this book. However the love story between the two authors almost took something away from the story. A low pick.
I have plans for a baking spree this morning, but first breakfast and a book. I think I‘ll read the tagged this morning and save Brideshead Revisited for #hyggehour tonight.
