This book was wonderful, and the audio was well narrated.

Tumble | Clare Griffin

Thought y‘all might appreciate these awesome tumblers my library got to give away for Adult Summer Readjng prizes. 😍 I‘m obsessed.

Clwojick Those tumblers are my favourite! I purchased some blank ones so I could add personalized vinyl quotes/pictures to them for Xmas gifts, and I ended up stealing one for myself 😂it‘ll keep your tea hot for HOURS! 5y
GirlMeetsBook @Clwojick we can‘t get over how cute they are. Unfortunately I can‘t steal one because I don‘t have enough for the whole staff. 😣 5y

Y‘all ever have that book that you read as a kid but have a hard time remembering the title? This was that book for me. For YEARS I couldn‘t seem to locate it, and today it pops up on a donation cart at the library. What book do you wish would resurface so you stop feeling crazy?

Queenie | Candice Carty-Williams
post image

Not quite finished, and not quite sure what I‘m feeling about this one. Have you read it? What did you think?

rdkate In the middle and feeling the same as you, really struggling to like this story and character 5y
GirlMeetsBook @rdkate keep going. I found Queenie became more relatable later on. I feel like the story is an important piece of literature; own voices, perspective that‘s missing from the general offerings in publishing, and all that. So I think it‘s valuable but... she was a tough character to sympathize with sometimes. 5y
rdkate @GirlMeetsBook you were right! Right after I posted the comment I started to like it! Tough book, but agree with your assessment! 5y

The Bride Test | Helen Hoang
post image
Pickpick

All around I really enjoyed this, and I enjoyed it even more than the Kiss Quotient. HOWEVER, I have a really hard time with the fact that the author uses them term “sex” to refer to the female characters‘ genitalia in both books. It was used less frequently in this story so it wasn‘t as bad, which may be why I liked it better.

MaggieCarr I wrote similar sentiments in my review yesterday. 📚 I enjoyed this one even more than 5y

I‘m taking a break from the 30 Day Book Challenge because I got a little busy and off track. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Besides, I saw someone else take the @EpicReads personality quiz, so I HAD to. And if this isn‘t me, idk what is. #ExcellingInChaos

TBH I hate all James Patterson books. Not sorry. It makes it very difficult to curate a good library collection on a budget when his ghost writers are cranking these out every week, and people keep requesting them! It‘s not quality. He has enough money. Let‘s all just let it go. #EndRant #Day12 #30DayBookChallenge

Can I just do a 39 day audiobook challenge? These are my JAM!!! With that said, don‘t take this recommendation lightly— The Inquisitor‘s Tale is an EXCELLENT audiobook. It‘s kid friendly, but adults will love the woven tale just as much. Like on par with Harry Potter. Yeah, I went there. #Day7 #30DayBookChallenege

So I don‘t usually do “the classics” but I‘d say the one that stuck with me the most was Emma. It was a high school read and became something of an inside joke with a good friend. I even read Alexander McCall Smith‘s remake of it; and liked it! #Day5 #30DayBookChallenge

Well y‘all, it‘s been a minute, but I have been reading! I just finished this for a book club, and if you‘ll looking for a holiday rom-com, this is it.

SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT!

Personally, I wanted something different out of it, though. I was hoping for a story in which the love at first sight didn‘t win out, but that all parties continued to have successful and happy lives. When L and O got engaged, I was really rooting for them.

IT‘S TIME!! #RhodyMeets is happening. Join me at Riff Raff bar and bookstore (does it get better than that?!) in Providence for a meet up in June. So share this far and wide!

RI, MA, CT, and NH Litsians join us! We‘ll drink, chat, and probably end our afternoon with some book browsing. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I‘d like to get a sense of who is coming, so email me to check in! I might also have an extra idea up my sleeve. 😜

I‘d love to plan a Rhody Meet-Up in early June as the weather warms up and we can expect it to stay that way. 😂 Comment below if you‘d like to

be kept in the loop, and whether a Tuesday night would work for you.

Let me know which works better and I will share! The 23rd gives people more time to plan. I‘m thinking to meet at Riff Raff in Providence. 6y

Bailed. Couldn‘t do it. I got half way through and the third “superhero” was too much for me. I really wish this had come together better for me, the idea was really exciting but I think it went over my head. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Has anyone tried this? Thoughts?

Lindy I haven‘t yet, although it‘s already in my “to read” list. I still plan to give it a go. 6y
GirlMeetsBook @lindy You should!! I don‘t think anyone should heed my advice on this book. I‘m curious to hear others thoughts. I want to know what you think after you read it. Are you very familiar with comic characters? (edited) 6y
