Too depressing for this time of year. I’ll give it a try again later. On to more festive reads for now

I love this author’s intelligent writing. This one was packed with clever musings and I would give it 5 stars for that, but there was so little in the way of plot that I considered quitting several times.

This was very well written but not a pleasant read. There was an underlying sadness from start to end even during the happy times. Its more of a coming of age novel than a romance although the love is palpable and heartbreaking. A good read if you want to experience all the feels but prepare to cry and miss the characters deeply when it’s over.

I might have to come back to this one later. It’s dark and disturbing which is what I expected, but I’m just not in the mood for that right now (became available to borrow at the wrong time for me).

I came back because I found myself wondering about the ending and I’m liking the second half much more so far.

Quitting for now. Too many good books on my shelf to continue with one that is doing nothing for me

I am absolutely giddy about all the great books that I have downloaded from my "Want to Read" list. I added a new library app (Libby by Overdrive) and found several of the titles that I could not find on CloudLibrary. Between these two sources, I now have a treasure trove of books that I can't wait to read. I'm happy to discuss any of them, so please send me a message if you're so inclined. Happy reading!

I’m surprised I made it through. I was sure something twisty or surprising was just in the brink of happening, but sadly it never did.

Not a ton of character development or twisty plot, but an entertaining “who done it”.

This is my first Danielle Steele book and so far I’m not impressed.

I just started. I’m so excited to listen to new material by Jerry Seinfeld. Even if he does end up recycling his old material, I’m looking forward to this one.

This is my first Kristin Higgins book.
