Re: March!

I finished Mothered and it was fine.

I read Somebody Else's Shoes by JoJo Moyes which was fine as well. I've liked some of her others better.

Not sure what's next on the list.

Re: March!

I'm reading Mothered by Zoje Stage. It's fine. I really liked her other book - Baby Teeth.

Stress = not turning to books :(

I'm reading How to Sell a Haunted House - it's very good. House is haunted by puppets and dolls. :ahh

Re: February!

This book talked about her colleague having all this stuff up in his cube about a football/soccer team and that was no big deal vs her's with Benedict pictures. Granted, I wouldn't put a celebrity or anyone/anything at my cube other than my boy of course but it definitely was very contradictory. I l...

Re: February!

Blush - I couldn't get into Turtles although I've liked some of his others. Curious what you think. I'm reading This is not a Book about Benedict Cumberbatch which is really interesting - about how women can like something/someone/etc and it be viewed as "silly". I'm not doing it justice.....

Re: February!

Glad you liked Evelyn!

I've been in a reading rut of late. My dental hygienist (who is a big reader AND i've had forever) pointed out that my rut is likely due to stress. :( Lots of work stress lately so I am turning to mindless tv instead.

Re: February!

Blush - can't wait to hear what you think of Evelyn. I loved it! I finished a non-fiction book called Soundtracks by Jon Acuff about the things you tell yourself and how to change your inner dialogue/soundtrack. It was decent. I always feel if I take one or two things away from a book it was worth r...

I finished The It Girl by Ruth Ware and it was good.

Not sure what's next. I just got Fiona Davis' new release by egalley from the publisher today. Definitely made my day and frankly week!!

Re: January 2023!

I read the Liane Moriarty one too and they don't even compare with the tennis levels. Hahaha.

I also may have been the one to suggest Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow - I didn't get bogged down by the video games.

Re: January 2023!

It's ALL tennis.
Hahahaha - yep! I actually liked it better than Malibu Rising but I grew up in a tennis house (where my dad played and my mom watched it on tv constantly).

Re: January 2023!

Sylvia - if you hate tennis, maybe take Carrie Soto off your list. It is all about tennis.

I'm halfway through The It Girl by Ruth Ware and liking it. I also would like more uninterrupted reading time. :cute

Re: January 2023!

Blush - glad you liked Evvie Drake. I ended up loving Carrie Soto more than I expected but I grew up in a tennis house so I wonder if that was part of it. Have you read the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo? That's my favorite of her newer novels. I finished All the Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham ...

Re: January 2023!

Blush - I really liked Evvie Drake and I don't tend to love that genre. It was well written and I felt the story was "mature".

Re: January 2023!

I didn't like The Rewind. I should have abandoned it - I wasn't reaching to read it so that should have been a clue. I generally like the author. I have Nora Goes Off Script next which has gotten rave reviews. I'm not in the mood for rom-com but it was due yesterday so I should just bang it out and ...

Re: January 2023!

My bff got me "You Are a Badass" for Christmas which was interesting. There's a few good points in it. I'm 75% done with The Rewind by Allison Winn Scotch. I generally like her books but not digging this one. I don't like either of the characters so I'm kinda hate reading it at this point.

Re: January 2023!

We Were Never Here was fine and then the ending was bizarro. I hate that. Minus one star for that. LOL Not sure what is next. I'm doing a virtual book club with Little Women which I've read a million times as a kid but they're reading it super slow which really isn't my jam. The next meeting is 1/17...

January 2023!

I'm reading We Were Never Here by Andrea Bartz. It's good but I'm not necessarily speeding through it.

Re: December!

Thanks - had the eye dr today. He now thinks the script is right but the positioning in the lenses is wrong (which is what I was pushing last time) so they're being remade. Hopefully that fixes things. I'm still reading Book Lovers by Emily Henry - I'm liking it. I'm almost done -- <50 pages or so.

Re: December!

Sylvia - I loved Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. It's really a story about friendship and I found it different from anything I've read recently. I'm reading Book Lovers by Emily Henry which I'm really liking. It's sad because I can't marathon read anymore so it's taking me longer...
