20 posts | 33 read | 14 to read
On the heels of her national bestsellers Jemima J and Mr. Maybe, British sensation Jane Green delivers a sparkling tale of old friends reunited and old jealousies rekindled. Catherine Warner and Simon Nelson are best friends: total opposites, always together, and both unlucky in love. Cath is scatterbrained, messy, andsince she had her heart broken a few years backemotionally closed off. Si is impossibly tidy, bitchy, and desperate for a man of his own. They live in Londons West Hampstead along with their lifelong friends, Josh and Lucy, who are happily married with a devil-spawn child and a terrifying Swedish nanny, Ingrid. Alls well (sort of) until the sudden arrival of a college friendthe stunningly beautiful Portia, whos known for breaking hearts. Though theyve grown up and grown apart from Portia, the four friends welcome her back into the fold. But does Portia have a hidden agenda or is she merely looking to reconnect with old friends? Her reappearance soon unleashes a rollicking series of events that tests the foursomes friendships to the limit and leaves them wondering if a happy ending is in store. Fortunately, Cath has plenty to take her mind off Portias schemeslike her gutsy decision to leave her job in advertising to fulfill her dream of opening a bookstore. And then theres James, the sexy real-estate agent who keeps dropping by even after the bookstore deal is done. With his irresistible smile and boyish charm could he be the one to melt Caths heart? Told with Jane Greens captivating wit and flare, Bookends is above all a story about friendshipits twists, turns and complicationsand how it weathers the challenges of love, ambition, marriage, and, most of all, growing up. Warmhearted, sophisticated, and full of delicious surprises, Bookends is Greens most dazzling novel yet. From the Hardcover edition.

Mehso-so

I usually really enjoy Jane Green, but this one had a lot of unlikable characters that made it hard to get through. I found to also to be a bit predictable. She‘s such a greater writer when it comes to displaying relationships and the inner workings of them, but this one just fell a bit flat for me.

#24in48 Hour 42: Actual Bookends | can‘t believe we‘re already at the last challenge!! Here are the first & last books on my shelf — I always tend to stack my favorites, like Marie Rutkoski‘s The Winner‘s Curse, at the very top, easy access for rereading. And at the end go my poetry books, where I can sit and peruse them at leisure when I want. How do y‘all organize your shelves? @24in48

What do you do, when it is raining the whole day and you don't want to leave your flat? Right, reading and book sorting. After seeing these gorgeous bookends some time ago, I finally found them at Amazon. I cleaned up my shelf beside my bed and made up a little tbr for the next weeks. 😍

Sarah83 @GypsyKat look I choose the classic red ones. 🤗💖 7y

I was lacking in bookends and my books were constantly tumbling over, so I found this really cute bookend which also holds your bookmarks. It's so handy! I made it on the 3D printer at our library, so it has extra cool/geeky points. 👏🏻♥️👏🏻 #benedictcumberbatch

melrailey I laminated that same picture of Benedict Cumberbatch and have it taped to my computer screen at work. 7y
Gabypen It's definitely iconic 😂 and it's great to see him jumping out of my books. @melrailey 7y

Confession: I've never had a shelf with few enough books to merit the use of bookends. This is too bad because they seem like a really nice idea, and there are some really cool/pretty ones.

LauraJ Or me... 8y
Gayan I use mine for my "Next Up" books. Then when I take one from there I replace it with another. Fun! 8y
Soubhiville I have a shelf without sidewalks, so I have a few bookends. Shopping for them was really fun! 8y

I have no recollection of putting this on my Overdrive holds... But apparently I did and now I am SO GLAD. I was reading a NetGalley ARC that was killing me with boredom... And now I get to enjoy this fun novel instead! Love.
