Me trying to follow the timeline so far:

I should have known I’d be welling up at a book comped to two novels that made me cry and blurbed by expert in emotional devastation Madeline Miller but it still caught me by surprise

Spent the weekend binge-reading this series. Literally unputdownable

I’m convinced most of the people mentioned on this book belong on some sort of watchlist

If your job requires you to start beef with Big Bird (yes, the Sesame Street character) it’s time to get out

A great but lethal drinking game: drink every time you want to scream at the author to quit her job

Library loan came through with the author’s preferred text 🫡

Just got the “love isn’t something you can cup in your hands” section and it has me on the verge of tears 🥺 we’re really cooking with gas now

ARC gifted by 4th Estate Books — so far so good 😊

There’s few things as magical as an Emily Henry release day ♥️ really eating this up so far

I loved So Late in the Day + I’ve never heard a bad thing about this book in my life = I’m excited

Taking myself back to the north of England by the force of literature since I can’t physically be there right now and I miss it.

Thank you to Chatto and Windus (Vintage Books) for the eARC!

Begging works guys!
Thanks so much to Tor Books for the eldest-daughter-coded proof ♥️ forehead kisses to the whole Book Break team

Resolution to read proofs more punctually is going swimmingly so far!
(Also helps that the narration is very absorbing)
Thanks so much to 4th Estate and Rachel Quin for the ARC!

Me: spends an hour choosing which books to take on my holiday, chasing the vibe of entertaining but not too draining.
Also me: starts holiday by reading Wuthering Heights after putting it off for 12 years

Thank you for the e-ARC, Faber team! 🩷

If I didn’t already refuse to eat octopus this would have done it for sure 🥺

This is making me think only women should get to have mid-life crises, actually. Men are not doing those right

The fomo got me.
Also, having an ebook means I could count how many times it’s drilled into our heads that he has blue eyes. It’s 109, give or take a few counts — very glad I went against my instinct of making it a drinking game bc I would have died

Fourth romance in 2 weeks what is happening to me??

I wanted to read this in Spanish but we had a proof at work and I finished my other book so I’m going in

It’s happening! (Just in time to see Caleb live tomorrow)

…I thought it hurt before but now it HURTS

It still hurts
