The Getaway List | Emma Lord
post image

This is a cute young adult novel about two good friends who realize their feelings for each other over a summer together in NYC.

This book dives into the tropes of friends to lovers, found family, and summer romance, as well as coming of age. The part that made me tear up was how all of our stories are connected, a larger, moving story that gives them all one important thing in common: the need to love and to be loved.

Book 55/100.

I found this fun, plant based clean nail polishes today. Being a Disney girl, I needed them but especially love the Belle one with the books and pink is my favorite color.

I love meeting new authors and @kerryevelynbooks is a real sweetheart. @barkingmadaboutreading introduced me to her and the Coffee Loft series. I just love these sweet romance books however I especially adored Kerry‘s book, “That Thing You Brew”.

I received #bookmail from her today and it is the cutest little package! Thanks @kerryevelynbooks for making this rainy, grey day bright!

monkeygirlsmama Will have to look for this series. Coffee and books, two of my favorite things! 😁📚☕ 3d
Graciouswarriorprincess @monkeygirlsmama If you have Kindle Unlimited, there are all on there. If not, you can order the ebooks or the actual books. They are so fun! 3d

Stella Griffin has broken up with her boyfriend three weeks before prom. Stella does NOT believe in fairy tales, so she is shocked when she somehow ends up in one, with the waiter who saw the breakup. Stella & Reece must work together to find a way home without disrupting the story they‘ve stumbled into. This is a frenemy to sweethearts tale and was a cute retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

Book 54/100 of the year.

Cupcake12 I keep seeing this everywhere, may need to put it higher up my TBR list x 3d
Graciouswarriorprincess @Cupcake12 Enjoy! It was a really cute and fun book! 3d

That Thing You Brew is such a sweet romance between tough hockey player Xavier who happens to be a barron after his OPA passes away & the stuttering brewer of his lucky coffee, Penny. This sweet love story is like a freshly brewed cup of coffee-just right and so needed in the world today! I laughed, cried & routed for Xavier and Penny all the way! These two characters will stick with me as will the story.

Book 51 of the year.

As I sitting here doing homework, my door bell rang. The UPS driver handed me this box from @booksparks .

OMG….I just adore this little book vase! It is the cutest book accessory that I have seen!! And those colors are so me as I am a pink girl!!

The book darts are amazing as well as I dislike writing in books and often use post it notes to annotate.

Many thanks to @booksparks for this lovely surprise package!

I‘m happy to announce that I am part of the @kerryevelynbooks ARC for the That Thing You Brew!

@BarkingMadRead told me about “The Coffee Loft” book series. This is a series of books centered around a coffee chain similar to Starbucks called “The Coffee Loft. All the books are sweet romances (no spice) and most are under 300 pages for quick and happy reading.

I‘m thrilled to get an early copy in this series.

Meet Hemingway, the library cat.

He has literally lived around my library branch for six years now & we think he was abandoned . For the last two years that I have worked there, he has always run away from everyone.

Monday night upon leaving, he came out up to me meowing. Tuesday morning, the same.

He had two infected teeth & some flea infestation otherwise in good health. He now has a clean bill of health after all the vet care.

ElizaMarie He is beautiful! 4w

I loved Razorblade Tears so I knew that I was in for a treat with this book. S.A. Cosby is the king of Southern Noir. His characters will get under your skin, you will feel all their emotions and you won‘t want to put this book down!

I was a bit disappointed in this book. I really enjoyed the first book while looking forward to reading this one. I would have given up on it but I did the audiobook and Will Wheaton was amazing.

RamsFan1963 My main problem with the sequel was that Wade went from loveable underdog, in the first book, to arrogant douchbag. It took time for me to get over the natural dislike for him. 1mo
