Instant love for this one. Immediately started the Apple TV series, and while there are several changes, big and small, I‘m loving the show as well

So much fun (after the horrors of the first chapter).
Didn‘t think I could get into human/alien sex but it‘s fantastic 💙
Overly dramatic and immature, but I guess that‘s developmentally appropriate at their age. Still love these boys
Liked this one more than I expected to. The author presents her mother, Alice Waters, as someone who‘s focused, particular, and a little eccentric. Might be time for a visit to Chez Panisse
Another cookbook to add to my wishlist. So many delicious looking recipes. I‘ve got the ingredients for the clam dip already 😋
I don‘t think I would have liked it as much if I wasn‘t already a fan of the author‘s.
A pretty perfect YA novel featuring my favorite type of YA characters: good, smart kids. They reminded me of some of the characters in the show Never Have I Ever. I loved it!
Time to return this one to the library, but it‘s going on my to-buy list.. I may be on the West Coast, but everything in this Maine-based cookbook looks delicious and beautiful
Met my goal of finally reading a mystery. This was fine, but I guess they‘re just not for me 🤷🏻♀️
Returning this to the library today but it‘s good enough to buy 👍🏽
Loved both the hero and the heroine, both such good people 💕
Re-reading after watching the movie. The book is cooler in tone, and a lot more graphic. Movie is warmer, with a lot of details changed.
Hearing Edward‘s thoughts as he fell in love with Bella made me fall in love with Bella
Not as interesting as I anticipated it would be, but I liked how she described feeling like a liquid/part of humanity as whole after her stroke, and then getting more solid/individual the further she progressed in her recovery
I liked the hero a lot, but found the heroine unnecessarily prickly and hot tempered.
I‘m so disappointed in this one. The time travel was the least interesting part, and I didn‘t get into it until more than 2/3rds in.
Liked but didn‘t love.
I didn‘t like the reason for their initial breakup, but enjoyed them getting to be friends and then lovers again.
First times and university tours. Good stuff 👍🏽
I guess it‘s better than the first book? Maybe I‘m just not in the mood for fantasy because I‘m not getting hooked on the story 🤷🏻♀️
My biggest takeaways: exercise, eat less calories but more protein
I got bored with all the science details
I never fell in love with the heroine, but I liked the hero a lot. It‘s the first in a trilogy and I hope my library obtains the other two 🤞🏽
My 2nd book by this author. I enjoyed it more than The Flatshare, but I‘m wondering if I‘m missing something with this author of if I haven‘t been in the right mood for her 🤔
This was a long one. It had a saga-like feel, and it took a minute to get absorbed into the story, but I ultimately liked it. A fun visit back to the 90s. Could have done with an epilogue, but that‘s what I almost always say.
Meh. Sir Candle Man has a large following in the candle community and his IG stories can be fun, but this book was not my favorite. I found the section on decorating with candles to be a little strange.
Some good advice, but I didn‘t care for the writer‘s style/voice.
I love kitchen memoirs and this one was quite cozy 💖 I‘ve ordered a paper copy already
I stumbled upon this book when searching for an Earl Grey scented candle. Someone recommended Laurel Mercantile‘s Tudor candle. Haven‘t bought the candle yet, but did manage to watch one episode of their show. The book leaned more Christian than I anticipated. They seem like a very sweet couple.
LOVED the heroine and her kids 💖 This one had me in tears at one point, but that could also be pms 🤷🏻♀️
Another one I had to listen to twice because I had difficulty keeping track of who was who the first time around. Jonah/Jude/Jules. Tough in an audiobook.
I did like the story though. I love reading about friends and family banding together in difficult situations; love details and the nitty gritty about people‘s daily lives; love inside jokes 💖
So many characters that it took me half the book to even care about them. Had to go back and listen again so that I could enjoy the story the 2nd time when I already knew the characters and had the lay of the land.
Some interesting trivia. I get why they can‘t include bits of the songs in the audiobook. Good news is that someone already put together a Spotify playlist 🙌🏽
Thoughtful approach to parenting, focused on connection (rather than trying to control behavior) in order to raise secure and self-possessed people.
I love magical realism. This one was ok, fine, meh.
In turns vulgar, funny, and sweet. It‘s not for everyone, but I liked it.
Didn‘t love it but liked it A LOT.
It‘s gentle; no real dramatic highs and lows, but that was a good thing. The couple is in their late 30s and are mature and for the most part, well adjusted. I liked both of them 😊
It actually lived up to the hype!
I was worried that it would take a while to get immersed into this world but it wasn‘t hard at all 🙌🏽
This was fine. I didn‘t fall in love with either of the main characters; nothing wrong with them, but they didn‘t feel special. The character I liked the most was the hero‘s ex-wife; she was minor but great.
Another pair of boys to love 💕 This prequel is just as good as the first book, and it was fun to catch glimpses of the boys in the original book several years before their story happens.
Very good sequel. Better than I was expecting. Even teared up near the end 🥲 Love these boys!
Don‘t know if I would have liked it as much if I hadn‘t seen season 1 of the show first 🤷🏻♀️
My first by this author and now I‘m a fan. It was a gentle and thoughtful one to listen to and it suit my mood 💙
Re-read it after multiple movie watches. Teared up during the election night part. Love this story 💖
It‘s a relatively gentle and quiet book and so it took me a while to get into it. Ultimately got sucked in and enjoyed it ☕️
There‘s a Big Misunderstanding 👎🏽 (I hate those so much!) but the characters and ending are so good that it‘s worth it ❤️
An easy listen; Tom came off as sweet and earnest ✨✨✨
There were several parts where I actually LOL‘d. And I like how these two didn‘t give up on each other and actually talked about their feelings ❤️
