pickWhat a sweet book! 🥰 Mostly light, with a little bit of love and tough life subjects. I found all of the characters to be relatable or enjoyable, and all in all really loved the book. ♥️ #100DaysofHappy
Listened to a good chunk of this while moseying around the house, and doing a bit of chores. Really liking it so far. ❤️ My time for #24B4Monday is 20.5 hours! I am definitely on track to hit 24 hours within the next 6.5 hours. Woot woot! 💞
pickThis book will change the way you look at your life. It will. Read it.
Wise words from this fictional UK doctor: "I don't believe in fundraising for public services. The government would love that, making us raise all our own cash from bloody jumble sales. They need to fund the NHS properly from taxes, not sell it off to their fat-cat mates in private health care."

I really enjoyed this book and its on sale.
pickWonderful book!It‘s been years since I cried on a sun lounger but oh I sobbed behind my sunglasses at this one. Despite the sad storyline and the tears it‘s not actually a sad book, in fact it‘s so uplifting. I highly recommend this book to everyone, it‘s the perfect reminder to always look for the happy in life, even when things are a bit (or even a lot) crap. (This is the North American version, in the UK this book is called How to be Happy)
"It's not about counting the days, it's about making the days count."
This book was amazing! It was beautiful and sad and uplifting all at the same time!
pickI want to call this a light read, but the story revolves around a character dying of cancer. A light heavy read, I enjoyed listening to this book and found it gave quite a lot of food for thought.
pickWhen I first started this I wasn't sure I was going to like it. A story about a woman who has given up on life, only to meet another woman who doesn't have much life left, has a very been there done that vibe. But beyond on the clichés I started caring for these characters. I was rooting for them to grow, succeed, and more than anything, find some kind of happiness. Cliched? Yes. But Something Like Happy is still something worthwhile.
I️ haven‘t heard much about this one on Litsy, but it‘s got good reviews so I‘m giving it a shot next. Anyone read this yet?
pickThis book needs to be made into a movie and everyone should go see it but first Everyone should read this book, because the book is always better than the movie . Except the movie will be great because how can it not be with this cast. This book made me laugh, cry, think about the good and the bad. It made me depressed and made me happy. This was a wonderful book! Soooo glad I read it :)
This book! Read this book people! I‘m not done with it yet, but I‘m in love with it . ❤️❤️❤️
This was sitting on my step when I got home this afternoon. A free book is always a pleasant surprise!
#BookOmbre | #AutumnReads | #SomethingLikeHappy Annie is stuck. Stuck in her boring job, with her irritating roommate, in a life no 35 yo would want. Annie is still mourning the loss that tore a hole through the perfect existence she'd taken for granted when she meets eccentric Polly Leonard. With wit and heart, #EvaWoods delivers an unforgettable tale of celebrating triumphs great and small, seizing the day, and remembering to live in the moment.
pickA cute, fun read. Lightheaded but poignant. Exactly what I needed after a couple of heavy reads. It's not perfect ... there are some cringey scenes and I wish the MC had been more developed. But it has a lot of heart and humor.
And now for something completely different. I need something lighter after reading American War. This one is from #netgalley!
