If this isn‘t the most gorgeous book inside and out that I‘ve ever read, I don‘t know WHAT is! Full of heart and humor, this story told from a dog‘s perspective is one that will stay with you forever. As a teacher, I instinctively imagined how I would read this aloud to a group of kids, because it would be so perfect for any mid-upper elementary classroom. A perfect blend of realistic and fantastical.

The True Love Experiment | Christina Lauren

The masters have done it again! Loved this. Really steamy and genuine and clever and heartwarming. Characters you want to root for and be friends with IRL. It‘s so cool how they weren‘t going to write another story from the world of The Soulmate Equation, but then fans convinced them to! Christina Lauren, can‘t wait for your next one ❤️

What a clever, heart-pounding book!! I couldn‘t put this down. And I think the epistolary format (which I am always drawn to) made it less scary, because I was safely “outside” the situation, reading the evidence but not actually inside the story. But for regular thriller/murder mystery fans, don‘t worry, it was still duly creepy!!! Thank you @LiteraryinLawrence for the brilliant rec! 🫨

LiteraryinLawrence So glad you liked it! 2w

You know when writing is so beautiful and clever that it takes your breath away, and you want to savor it but also read it all in one sitting? THAT. I loved this book from start to finish. I especially loved the chapters told in the 10-year-old daughter‘s voice.
Frankel shines a light on the diversity of adoption stories and the need for positive representation, and I really feel like this book should be required reading for… every human.

Hooked_on_books I was aware of this book but it just now clicked who the author is. Putting my library hold in immediately! 1mo

The results are in!! Honestly hard to decide between Sign Here and the Time War. They‘re so different, but what I loved about both of them is that they really blended genres in a way that felt fresh and compelling. In the end, Time War is the pick because it just filled me with so much love.

Charming, witty, and truly laugh-out-loud funny! This book is an exceptionally good time. And I highly recommend the audiobook on Spotify- the actress reading, Bessie Carter, is so animated with her fun voices.
For anyone who‘s ever wondered if they‘re “doing self-care right.” It gets taken to such an extreme in the story, but in a funny, relatable way. And the romance is really heartwarming 💕
A nice way to end the reading year!

This year I accomplished my goal of one new recipe per week - 3 to go! I wanted to work on a backlog of beautiful cookbooks (the first four pictured, left to right). I combed through on NYE to pre-determine 50 recipes, so then each week I could choose from the list (with 2 for wiggle room). It was SO FUN and fruitful! I‘ve decided to do it again for 2024! I‘m adding Shabbat and MT to the list, possibly a third…but six photographed so evenly 😄

Tamra Fantastic! 3mo

janeycanuck Almost every year, I try to do this. I‘ve never picked the recipes in advance, though. Maybe that‘s why I never seem to make it through the year!! 3mo
BennettBookworm @mabell @Becker @Tamra @janeycanuck Yay! Thank you! I highly recommend- it‘s brought me so much joy.

I‘m all about the hashtags! 3mo
Tamra @BennettBookworm I think I can manage one new recipe per week, but we could individually do as many as we want. How about #MtCookbook as a hashtag? I have a cookbook problem. 😉 Want to join @Becker @mabell @janeycanuck ? (edited) 3mo

This was way too disturbing to me to be the fun romp I felt it was pitched as. More like a thriller, which is not my genre of choice. Yes, it‘s Regency, but it‘s actually less like Bridgerton and more like… women being violently abused and tortured by the majority of men in the ton? Not my idea of a good time at ALL. Should come with lots of TWs.

Hooked_on_books Oh no, that‘s awful! I will definitely be avoiding this one. 3mo

HIGHLY recommend this audio read by the author. It was like spoken word. Gorgeous, melodic, heart-wrenching. These letters/poems center largely on trans women and sex workers, and it really felt like a gift to hear the author share so vulnerably. Now I need the print edition; each poem ends with a suggested activity, and I want to do them all!

THANK YOU to the Litten who posted the bookriot quiz, “find your perfect autumnal read” - this was mine!

First review?! What an honor!! This book is a REVELATION. Logan Ury has changed my outlook on myself, on dating, and on what it takes to find a life partner. For anyone who feels stuck with the modern dating scene, I can‘t recommend this enough! Concrete tools and action steps backed by behavioral science. AND the Spotify audiobook is a delight - read by the author!
P.S. - Spotify premium, monthly 15 hrs of free audiobooks now!? Game changer!

THIS BOOK!!! I sat down to start and then did not get up until it was finished. Was BAWLING as it got to the end- so masterfully written that not only did I not know how it would end, I didn‘t know how I WANTED it to end! As someone who‘s often wished I could “skip to the good part,” this really hit home. The characters were so real and lovable (Felix!!) and this is now one of my favorite books. I need to read more by Cousens!!

Osman has done it again! This fourth book felt simultaneously sadder and funnier, IMO. But definitely sadder. A fitting last book before he takes a break from these characters for a while, even tho he promised they‘ll be back.
I‘m excited for Osman‘s next series. When he writes, it feels like a musical fugue - the way dialogue overlaps like a real life conversation - and everything is woven together so masterfully.

I hate to say it, but this was too long. Backman can do no wrong in my eyes, but this got to the point where I felt like it was just cruel, the level of suffering he was putting his characters through (and me alongside them). So much tragedy for this town we‘ve come to love.
I‘m glad I finished the trilogy but I think this ending could‘ve been accomplished in < 670 pgs, and with fewer casualties.
PS - Why is Litsy only calling it 400 pgs? Rude.

Prairiegirl_reading I agree, it did not have to be so long, but I still gave it a pick because for a book to make me so emotional (or trilogy actually) it‘s got to be very well written. It was a bit torturous after a while though. 5mo

This felt more like a collection of notes from a hundred interviews with a thousand names and crisscrossing timelines, rather than a book. Especially disturbing was how no editor caught the error of misquoting “daisies are the friendliest flower.”
BUT, I love these movies to death so hearing all the behind-the-scenes stuff was really cool. And it inspired me to watch The Shop Around The Corner for the first time, which is a new fave!

I didn‘t fall in love with any of the characters and their friendship felt way underdeveloped on the page. Unfortunately, that was what the whole story hinged on. Could also be because I just read Happy Place and the parallel there with BFFs from college was super believable.
Still, the plot kept me reading and gave me a lot to think about, however cliché it might be: to live life to the fullest and share your feelings with the ones you love.

“It is humanly impossible for Emily Henry to write a bad book.” - E.W., I couldn‘t agree more! These characters and their struggles felt so relatable to me and so realistically rendered.

#unpopularopinion but I don‘t understand why the “big reveal” was revealed so early on, and yet we were supposed to be surprised by the ending? I‘m very confused. It for sure had a nice ending and heartwarming moments, but overall knowing exactly how it would end was disappointing.
