Prompt: RIsing Arizona

pickThis book captures the reality of what a lot of families experience and go through. I felt captivated by the kindness that Russ showed throughout every season in his life as well as the aspect of family values. The development of himself, as a man, and the relationships around him were an emotional roller coaster. This definitely speaks to the value of meaningful people in your corner that will pull you through in the hardest moments.
pickI‘ve read enough Nicholas Sparks that I rate my experience by comparing each to other Sparks book. This one was fine and a pick but didn‘t rate as high for me. It reads like a fictional memoir, but the enlightenment for his experiences isn‘t enough - Russ married the wrong girl and was a good dad. …On the other hand, my two grandbabies practically ate it up!

I have 3 Nicholas Sparks books to get to!! I‘m devastated to learn he got a divorce! This probably happened years ago and I‘m the last to know!! Going to research now 😓
pickMy poor little girl has Flu A and Strep. The only good thing about this is I have gotten some reading time in while I care for her.
I finished Two by Two tonight. My son picked this book for me. I have always enjoyed Nicholas Sparks' books. They are easy reads, but they always bring emotion, and this one did that. 4⭐
Well, I am 408 pages in, Nicholas Sparks' famous " sad part" has to be looming on the horizon.
9.5 hours short, but with a sick little girl, and my Dad's birthday dinner, I am very pleased with what I accomplished. Good night Litsy friends. I am going to sleep, while my Punkie (daughter) sleeps, and pray that she is comfortable, or we may be in for another visit to the doctor.
I had big plans for reading, and then my daughter came home sick. She is sleeping now and I think I should do the same before the next round of illness.
This silly dog sleeps in the oddest positions, I hope you can all laugh at him like I do.

Started Book 9 of January and Book 9 of 2020 yesterday!!!
pickI gotten this book last month haven‘t read all of it but so far it‘s pretty good o interesting
pickI‘ve always been a fan of Sparks‘ cheesy romance novels. This one felt different. It was a beautiful story of a man‘s relationships with his family. I felt happy, sad, heartbroken, & even angry at times. 3.5/5 for me!
pickI‘m not typically a huge fan of Sparks. This book, though, I loved. I loved the main character, Russ, and his relationships with his sister, his parents and especially his daughter. There were pieces of this book that destroyed me, because of my own experiences, and while Sparks is known for doing that, I didn‘t feel this novel fit his typical formula. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I had more time to read today. Spent time in the sun, relaxing and reading. Now it‘s time for a glass of Rosé, it is in season after all. ?? My Bookly app says I have about an hour of reading left before I finish this book.
Finally some time to relax. Sitting outside on this warm and sunny afternoon, with my book and an iced coffee. Ahh! ❤️📖
I haven‘t read in so long! This is the least amount of time I have had to read in a long time. Work...work...work... I finally had some time tonight and got in almost an hour of reading.
I am really enjoying the brother-sister relationship in this book. My brothers are two of my closest friends, and I can see the three of us being there for each other in much the same way as Russ & Marge are. ❤️
I haven‘t read since Mother‘s Day! Crazy busy week, covering for 2/3 of our 3 person real estate team because the other two are gallivanting across France on a well deserved 15 day vacation. Prom for one kid & Confirmation for another this weekend, with mere hours between (only 3.5 hours of sleep last night). Finally sitting down to read for the first time in a week... 🙄❤️ Someone wants his ball. A mother‘s work is never done...
Is anyone else bothered by these types of inconsistencies? The main character tells us that “In February 2004 - I‘d been out of college for almost 2 years...” On the next page, the main character‘s father says that the character and his *older* sister “weren‘t around when Hugo hit in 1989.” If they weren‘t born yet in 1989, then he couldn‘t have been an adult, helping his dad prep for a snowstorm, in 2004. What am I missing?🤷♀️
Work is crazy, kids‘ activities are crazy...May is a very busy month. Trying to grab a few pages before I crash for the night. Drink of choice tonight is water, because I realized a bit ago that I haven‘t had enough today. 📚💧
panNot my kind of book. I was very disappointed. There was too much arguing. Too much drama. Too much happy ending. Divorce is not an easy subject to write about, but I would say Sparks got some of it right. Sadly my favorite character Marge gets sick and dies. Tragedy. Maybe I‘d give it 2 🌟🌟.
Audiobooks and building models. Even though I‘m not enjoying the audiobook (tagged library bookclub pick), it‘s fun to craft and listen to books. I finished this build today. It‘s called Eddie (Weird Oh).
April wrap up: overall I did better than I thought I would. I‘m working on my last audiobook of the month. It‘ll count toward April too so that‘ll bring my total to 13 books. I‘ve also made some good progress on Moby Dick. I‘m over 75% on that book. #ATB #aprilwrapup #reading
bailedGot half-way into the book and realized my dislike for one of the main characters made me feel annoyed every time I picked up the book. Spent way too much on explaining the marriage than the “good stuff” that Nicholas Spark‘s is generally known for.
Thursday night reading. Have some episodes of friends playing in the background. Two of my favorite things, books & friends!
How was your day today? How is your night going? ☺️

Guess I'm like an old shoe, huh? ...A favorite shoe...maybe. One that always fit just right and you were never able to replace.

My mother-in-law‘s birthday isn‘t until mid-April, but for once I won‘t be rushing 😋 Got her a book from one of her favorite authors (and I know she doesn‘t have it LOL) and one of the loveliest bookmarks from @Babiesandbooks to boot! She‘s going to love them!! Thanks Margaux!!
So I just challenged myself to binge read on Nicholas Spark's books and will start it by this book 📖 I heard all of his books make girls cry... So let's see how this challenge goes 😂

so-soI felt I had to read this out of my love for cheesy Nicholas Sparks novels, as bad as they can be sometimes. But this was just okay. Spent way too much time on the demise of a marriage and not enough on the good stuff. Oh well.

A yucky head cold has hit me. So I'm relaxing and taking it easy, listening to an audiobook, curled up on the couch.

January Reading Challenge progress! (No Repeats!)
pickThis book was so much different than I thought it was going to be and so much better. I can‘t honestly say that I enjoyed it. It made me sad, it made me hurt, it made me dread the events coming. But it made me feel so much more than most of his books. This really blew me away. 5*
Been slacking on reading, so I figured I would read a few chapters before bed 💕
Starbucks and a book. Can‘t get much better than that...except being in bed with Starbucks and a book.
