First read for our mini bookclub💕

What’s happening here on GR? I mean, we got 0,5 and 0,25 stars AND dark mode! 🥳🥳🥳

First time I requested an ARC in ages and I’m truly engaged in this one! I knew I could trust Sally Malcolm to write a book like this

Yes!! I made it, today marks my 1000 days streak reading on my Kindle☺️🥳

This might be the best explanation I have ever read in a fictional story about how it feels to be autistic (forced to play a complicated board game and not knowing the rules while everyone else does)
And maybe I have to revise my prior opinion about Owen’s dad? Not sure about where he stands in all this 🤔

The author probably meant it that way, but I already hate Owen’s father fiercely!

I do enjoy this book, but why the constant using of one of the mc’s full name is beyond me. I think that at this point in the book I know who she is

I’ve been playing this game on my Switch called Little Bookshop and it perfectly combines my love for reading with gaming, and it’s very much a feel good game! Such relaxing vibes and so wholesome 💖

I lost interest

Even though the story is written well enough for me to be invested into seeing how this will develop, I really can’t with all the ‘sweetheart’ and ‘my darling’ endearments 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t know, I feel a bit cheated by the title of the book. I expected a thriller kind of book about her death, was it murder, was it suicide, that kind of thing. What I got is another biography😕

The book looks stunning, with golden edged paper, linen covers, it’s filled with beautiful, quality photographs and it weighs a ton! It deserves 5 stars just for the layout and the looks

“The starlings warble in the garden and the sun rises and pours in through the windows and illuminates the plumes of dust dancing in the air and the house warms and the heat spreads our smell through the house and I lie between Did Pasha and Mama, I cry until it hurts my lungs, I hold their hands, I wait to die.”
😭😭😭

You know that feeling when sometimes you are only just a few pages in a book and you already know you’re going to love it?

For now I’m putting this on hold. It’s not the right moment (maybe?) but I really have very strong feelings of disliking David and I’m not sure if he will grow on me 🤔😩

I must admit that, for a book by one of my most favorite authors, it took me a while to get into it, but I think I’m finally starting to see the whole picture of what happened.

I am so disappointed, I loved the cover and I loved the premise of this book and I just don’t care about either mc. It may be early to dnf, but I don’t feel any connection to Lane nor Gala and frankly, I am not the least curious about what happened between them. The scenery is uninspiring and too easy - it’s the mid sixties in the L.A. Canyons, there’s sex, drugs and music, and nothing happens. So I’m out

Still not sure what to think about this book, as I have reached the 50% mark and they just had sex with a girl and there’s still no real mention of them feeling more than just friendship for one another🤔

The vibes this book gives me already, I need to take my time reading this as I want to wrap myself in it like it’s a soft, warm blanket. Cat Sebastian is such a genius

This guy is narrating so fast I had to go check my audio speed 😳🙈

Reading the audiobook

So, since this is a little different from my usual reads (the being into space thing, not the mm romance of course), I have to trust my gr friends who love this book. Excited to dive in, nonetheless 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

“You know what the biggest problem is with this world?”
“Tell me,” she said quietly.
“Lucky people, thinking they earned it. Telling the unlucky that they should’ve just tried harder.”

Doing the audiobook of this well beloved tv series🥰

I had started this book a little while ago, put it aside since it didn’t really capture me. But I wanted to give it another chance, and now I’m hooked!

I just get so happy reading this book! Exactly the kind of happy that reading is supposed to make you feel😊

I love KD Casey’s mm baseball romances, and (finally!) having a new book by her where I got my hands on makes me one happy girl! And so far this feels very much like a KD Casey book and I’m giddy with anticipation!

A few pages in and I get the feeling I am happy that I have made an exception to request this arc. It feels very different from what I have come to expect from Fearne, though the writing is as good as ever

Hmmm…started skipping. I’m a little bored to be honest 🙁
