Looking for something new to read. Here are a few of my favorites, anything that gives a similar feeling? I am not a happy lady without a book!

Ps if you use libby/library apps I highly recommend overreader.com you can check where your books are available and in what form. Especially if you have more than one library card #overreader

Another step in the right direction. So sick of bottom feeder landlords laist.com/news/housing...
No fridge? No more. Newsom signs bill requiring apartment landlords to supply appliances
People moving to Los Angeles are regularly baffled by the region’s refrigerator-less apartments. They’ll soon be a thing of the past.

I just finished it... basically in the span of 48 hours...clearly I enjoyed it..more to come
good reminder that- Money won’t save you from a lump Man, but it's a lot better to cry in your Martha's Vineyard house than in a rusted out '92 Oldsmobile. Still, I think it was refreshingly honest and very well written #strangersbelleburden

Because I loved #katiebishop other book so much, I didn't really care for this one, nothing wrong with it and not a bad book per say, just went in with too high of expectations which is a me problem

Wasn’t sure if #FullBloom was #magicalrealism or just scented delusion, but I had fun.
Whimsical tone, serious drama, unhinged choices, and a solid moral: attention’s a double-edged sword

Teaching a full load this semester so I haven't had time to physically read as much as before, but did listen to a few #audiobooks that were good enough I didn't want my commute to end...

I loved this. Solid #novel featuring #motherambivalence
This was an Amazon first read (so it was "free") with prime and I forgot about it, but I didn't want to do my work and I picked it up again and WOW. #womanontheverge

I thought I’d cracked #JodiPicoult formula. Then Leaving Time blindsided me with elephants, grief, a psychic #disastergirl, and a twist so chaotic I wondered if I even knew how to read. If you pick one Picoult, make it this ambush

Just go get it when it comes out, I finished it in two days @karenpalmer.bsky.social @hachetteaudio.bsky.social #memoir #currentlyreading
The scenes are dark, visceral, and often sickening, but necessary. They force you to sit with the reality that women are told to endure quietly while men and systems cash in on impunity. Palmer doesn’t flinch, and neither should we. Thank you @hachetteaudio.bsky.social for the ARC
Her prose is gorgeous, but the content is brutal: a woman ground down by life, men, and the very systems supposedly built to protect her. The police? Useless. The institutions? Complicit.

<gulp> My memoir is out 1 month from today! From Luis Urrea: "She’s Under Here is a hurricane, elegant and visceral at once." Lacy Crawford: "Like a tandem skydive, just as terrifying and just as exhilarating." Erika Krouse: "A genuine tour de force, blistering with intelligence and dark wit." 1/
