This is a book I have picked up and put down periodically over the last year and every time I pick it up I kick myself for ever putting it down - what a sweet, honest, authentic, and gospel centered balm for the weary soul in the trenches of motherhood.

So far the most trauma informed book on marriage I have read while being thoroughly biblically insightful! Really enjoying & creating great opportunities for conversation at community group!

Excited about this one!

Absolutely eating this up already

most trauma informed book on parenting I’ve read so far!

really enjoying listening to queen brene read about her own research and add in fun stories/opinions not in the hard copy!!!

lovveeee when libby delivers a book the same day I finish another 🙌🏻

insert gif of Jim Halpert saying “WHAT IS GOING ON”

I keep wanting to shake the female MC by the shoulders and shout “HE OBVIOUSLY LIKED YOU!!“ but apparently that’s how people felt about me right before Andrew asked me out… does that make me hypocritical??? lmk

surprising myself with how much i’m enjoying this

okay fine I’ll try riding the Emily Henry train

this book already has me in a chokehold 🫠😭😍🫣

trying out the tandem read in hopes Mak makes an appearance in Fearless!

sick day + fearless release soon = comfy reread

I just love Fredrik Backman’s writing style

STRONG start!!!!!

my 2025 reading is based around book releases and I’m living for it! reread #1 for rebel witch coming out next week!!

somehow this book is simultaneously making me sad & not able to put it down???

this writing style and magic system are honestly both really unique & impressive to me so far!! great & engaging world building!!

I didn’t dnf a single book in 2024 & was hoping to do the same in 2025 but 90 pages in and I just can’t keep going…. really bummed because I LOVED divine rivals & one of my fav bookstagramers rated this really highly!
