Hello
I am felling very nice in this app
I am new please comment some book name that can I learn about learning and technology or gabget

There are some mixed reviews on this one but overall I enjoyed it. I can totally relate to that weird transition period between college and the real world, when you‘re constantly struggling to figure out what the hell you‘re supposed to do next. We all just hope we‘re doing the right thing and wing it.

Good. Enjoyed how it showed the how many people negotiate their way through the transition period from University to work whilst trying to keep true to theirselves through the relationship of Julia and Evan.

Thank you #netgalley for the proof copy

When you can smell the breakfast bacon being cooked but all you want to do is stay in bed finishing a great book

I've read lots of mixed reviews about this one. I'm glad I decided to pick it up. I'm only about 100 pages in and love it. I'm always enthralled with reading stories involving work places, characters interviewing for job and/or assistant positions. Don't know why....anyway I hope it maintains it appeal for me. Also love that the main characters meet day one of college just like I did with my husband. 😉

Day 19 of the #RiotGrams challenge: opposites! 📚

I won this from a Goodreads giveaway. Julia and Evan move to Manhattan together after graduation. It only takes a #newyorkminute for everything to start to crumble. Evan works in finance during the 2008 meltdown and Julia feels adrift in a job she dislikes while he works all hours. Sadly there is nothing new or interesting here. The chapters alternate between perspectives but both of their voices sound exactly the same. #litsyatoz #rockinmay

The memory persists like a hot cavity. I shut my eyes, and I see Evan. I try to fall asleep, and I see Evan. And I see him as he was at the very end, his face written with disappointment. It was like he'd always known that it would come to this. Four years of my life disappeared into that expression 💔🌃

I having the best mail day at work. My brother sent me a belated birthday bottle of whiskey and my Goodreads giveaway book arrived today. Only five more hours until I get to take them both home to enjoy.

I really need to better time my library reads. I'm #currentlyreading this as it's due back tomorrow.

I finally won my first Goodreads giveaway! And then I see that the book only has a score of 17% on Litsy. I am still excited.

I just don't care, is the thought that kept running through my head. Chapters alternate POV, but it's soooo slow and boring. Going to bring this one back to the library tomorrow so someone else can try it.

The audiobook was nicely done, but the book itself was a little boring, didn't really offer anything new, and was fairly predictable. As I said, however, narrators Sarah Mollo-Christensen and Michael Crouch were believable as the protagonists. Another plus? I did a bunch of book organizing while listening.

Just started this novel of a couple trying to thrive in New York after college. It takes place on the brink of the economic collapse. So far I'm curious, though the main characters seem a little bit stereotypical. I'm listening to the audiobook -- two narrators for the two points of view.

This book about (privileged) recent grads floundering in the midst of the '08 financial crisis is a thinly developed, bland, and forgettable rehashing of a story I've heard too many times before.

The book was meh. I would compare this to The Hopefuls but much more simplistic. It was fast paced, probably why I did not bail. I think I might be a little old to understand these characters, but I think somebody just starting out in post school like, might really like this.

Think I was the first to get this out of the library. Going to spend some time with this next.

The description hits all my sweet spots, let's see if it lives up to its promise.

I found the alternating chapters from different points of view but of the same situation, tedious. It took twice as long for the plot to move. I sent it back to the library early so someone else can enjoy.

Switched to this one. Its lighter. I went to see LaLa Land but it kinda bummed me out. I wasn't expecting it . . . Or something. But anyway. . . I like the book so far.

Look! I'm the first one to get this book at my library! Picked up my hold this morning. 👌🏻 I've only been regularly using my library for six months now, so I understand this is probably going to become more common for me, but I'm still excited! Anyone read this one yet?

These just in from the library!!! 📚📚📚

Loving this book!

I liked this book about a millennial couple taking on NYC just as the economy is collapsing in 2008. Fates, jobs, and misperceptions cause major problems between Julia and Evan. The writing was good, the story compelling and quick, but not surprising. Full review on Novel Visits on 1/19.

Finished copies of Anna Pitoniak's THE FUTURES arrived today! 🎉🍷🙌

Finished copies, hot off the presses! On sale January 17th at a bookstore near you.

I loved this book! Told from alternating viewpoints, the novel revolves around Julia and Evan who meet in college and eventually move in together. We witness their relationship obstacles and the paths they take to assuage the guilt that assaults them. It's a lovely look at young love, secrets we keep, and the lengths we go to to ensure our happiness. A must read! @annapitoniak Thanks to #NetGalley

The best book mail of the week -- finally got my hands on the U.K. galleys! 😍
