The Invisibles: A Novel | 
@tpixie here you go- invisible bookshelves 😁 I haven‘t finished stacking them yet. But the idea is that the bottom book has a metal L plate inside the cover to hold the rest up. 📚
pickThis one made me so confused at times, because you think you figure out what's happening and NOPE! Kept me on my toes.
bailedSo I have such a hard time bailing on books!! I never want to give up hope....BUT I have about 15 other awesome books on my bookshelf, so after 4 chapters and 60 pages in... this book just isn‘t for me. Too #chicklit for my personal tastes. I need more drama and adventure 🙃. But if you do like books about friendship and those type of storylines this one was highly quotable!
panThis book was between a so-so and a pan for me. I chose pan because I had a hard time connecting with the characters. This was one of those stories where you knew demons would be exorcised, it was just a matter of when and how. And when the past finally did start to get reveal itself, I felt it all happened too neatly. Also, without giving much away, I didn't feel like these characters stories, with the exception of Nora's, had any real closure.
I gotta say, I'm guilty of this a lot. Anyone else?
Going to take this one for a spin next. Anyone check it out yet? #litsyatoz #letteri
Day 2 #AndItsAugust #Girlfriends I like a good drama or thriller with toxic girlfriends/female friendships, but I really love books where friendship is a focus & women grow & benefit from their relationships with their girlfriends. These 6 books have ultimately strong female friendships-some are dissimilar people brought together, some generational friendships, some are friendships that evolve as childhood girlfriends grow over the years.❤️👭📚
Day16 #booktober #greatfirstlines Not a first line, but a quote about them from Nora--librarian, and collector of over 200 first lines from "The Invisibles" by Cecilia Galante. Nora has the habit of "not bothering to read the rest of the book if the first line failed to measure up to her standards. Which, she understood, probably meant that she had missed out on a great number of wonderful books. But that was the way it was for her." ?❤️
Day16 #booktober #greatfirstlines "It wasn't until she reached the corner of Grove Street, where the sidewalk buckled and the pre-dawn smells of yeast and fabric softener perfumed the air, that Nora remembered it was her thirty-second birthday." I like this first line but I picked it because Nora in this novel about friendship, collects first lines & has written down over 200--"each of them a small, quiet joy in it's own right." Quote to follow ?
