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

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

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

#Kariefugett doesn’t sanitize the trauma or pretend it’s noble—just the raw, chaotic truth most people bury under patriotism. Honest, self-aware, and fearless, her story is both brutal and inspiring. #aliveday

Are they even difficult… or just done pretending? For anyone ready to quit and tell society to chill, this is cheap therapy in #book form.

I could probably go the rest of my life without seeing the word diorama again. I was so excited for this #book, but it ended up being a complete letdown. Everyone was bad, everything was sad, and there wasn’t a single remarkable thing to redeem it.
