Haven‘t posted in months, but still have been reading a little bit here and there. Currently a few chapters into this one, and it‘s my first book from Murakami. Great so far 👌🏼
I‘ve been on a bit of a reading hiatus these last few months, and I finally felt the urge to pick something up. I started this one last night, and I‘m already loving it... a very heavy subject, but beautifully written.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️ It was a fun read, but wasn't crazy about the ending.
Book Mail 📚💗 I can't wait to read these all! 🤓📖
People move to LA to make it. They dream harder than people in New York and believe that ferociously socializing is critical, that life is all about "who you know."
pickA novel set in Nazi Germany about a jewish adolescent (Karl Stern) that takes boxing lessons from heavyweight champion, Max Schmeling. The novel covers a 3 year time period, and is told from Karl‘s perspective as he goes from being a scrawny, fearful kid to a brave, heroic young man that does everything in his power to protect his family. It was a great novel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
bailedI read more than half and found it interesting, but as soon as the major turning point happened it became very stale for me (I know that's vague, but I don't want to give away major plot points). I tried really hard to continue this novel, but found myself wanting to read other things instead. I thought the beginning was funny, witty, and heartwarming. I really enjoyed Rosie & Penn for what it's worth.
Rosie was also used to conflicting emotions, for she was a mother and knew every moment of every day that no one out in the world could ever love or value or nurture her children as well as she could and yet that it was necessary nonetheless to send them out into that world anyway.
Started this last night, and I‘m loving it so far.
pickThis book took the reader through highs and lows. It deals with abuse, alcoholism, and special needs themes. I was rooting for Gav and Jimmy, and was heartbroken several times as the story went on. It was simultaneously beautiful and devastating, and it‘s a book that I know will stay with me for a very long time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book is good from the start, and I'm currently some ways into part three. Now, I keep having to take breaks because this novel just entered into another realm of emotional, sentimental, heartbreaking amazingness that I can only handle in small doses, or else my heart will explode into a million little pieces. That's the truth. 😰🧠🤯📖💓💔
pickHeartwarming little story ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I turn 31 today, but I feel like I‘m still in my early 20‘s 😱🤯 Is that a good or bad thing?!Either way, I‘m grateful to be starting this day with some of my favorite people 👨👩👧👦 and things 📖🧡☕️
Getting my fix before I go out and enjoy the day☺️
pickA few reviews on here said this book was a little slow to start, but I disagree. I loved how the author set the mood and introduced all the characters. Her writing was vivid and captivating from the beginning. I enjoyed reading about the intricacies of Shaker Heights, and ended up liking this novel a lot more than her first 🤗 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"There were her mother's slender arms, which looked so fragile and birdlike, as if they might snap under too great a weight, but which could carry more than any woman Pearl had ever seen."
Stopped by the local Target here in Fort Collins, CO and picked this up. Finally something to read on my roadtrip 🤗
So we're driving from California to Minnesota, and I had purposely set aside 3 books for the roadtrip. Lo and behold, I forgot them all! 🤦🏽♀️Hoping to buy a book along the way, but it's still heartbreaking to be without my 📚...💔😣. At least I still have these amazing views as a consolation 🤷🏽♀️. Yesterday we drove from Cali through Nevada, Arizona, and we're currently staying in Utah. Making our way to Colorado tomorrow 🚗🗺🏜
Started this last night... Now enjoying some reading along with a vegan glazed-crumb donut & an iced coffee. 🍩☕️📖
pickJust finished this little gem right now. This booked touched on several things, but mostly revolved around Thandi and her mother's death. The chapters are all short, but deep and meaningful. Enjoyed this novel very much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This Los Angeleno is moving to the twin cities!! Books are being packed as we speak 😝
My toddler is currently Clifford obsessed 🐶👦🏽🐾📚 #raisingreaders
so-soI know that a lot of people loved this, but it was just a so-so pick for me. I thought it was a bit unoriginal & I found the ending to be predictable.
I'm so excited to read this one, and I absolutely love the cover. ❤️📚
I suffer from chronic migraines, and I just got over some pretty intense migraine days 🤕. This morning is the first in a while that I woke up feeling like myself again... which means my focus is better, and I can read again!!! Yay! There's plenty to be happy about this morning ☺️#readallthebooks
pickFinally finished this book. Beautiful writing on such a heavy and devastating topic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Almost done with Salvage the Bones, and will probably move onto this one next 😱💀
And a few books for my tot 💕👦🏽📖
Whole wheat cinnamon pancakes topped with strawberries🤤, a good book & a good cup of coffee are what dreams are made of💕🍁🥞🎃🍓☕️📖
pickAlthough this novel was written after a heavy, horrific and heartbreaking event in history, I thought it was just okay. A lot of the times when Sepetys started describing war scenes, the transitions felt very unnatural (maybe she intended to do that to show how nothing is predictable during times of war). I also wasn't loving the super short chapters, as I felt it was hard to truly connect to any of the characters. Regardless, I'd still recommend.
Finally sitting down and reading 📖. This book has been a challenge to enjoy because of all the little things distracting me from it. I'm hoping to finish by tomorrow:)
Haven't really been in a reading mood lately, but I finally put a dent in this book today. Moves rather quickly with most chapters averaging about 2pgs in length. I think I prefer longer chapters in general... These short ones are making the novel feel rushed.
My other healthy habit besides reading? Juicing! So naturally, when I saw a book about juicing at the library.. I just had to check it out 💚
Yep, this sounds about right!
Not the best photo, but I've finally found some time to read :), and I'm having a late dinner as well. Seeded bread made with homemade jalapeño cilantro hummus, topped with avocados and a side of figs. My green juice is chard, parsley, cucumber, green bell pepper, and green apple. It's delicious!
Started this one last night & doing some lazy Sunday reading 😴📖
pickThis novel was dark, a bit morbid, yet funny and heartwarming all at once. I loved Eleanor's bravery, and was intrigued by the story from beginning to end. One of my favorite reads this year ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
