This was a magical, thought provoking novel. It was also written concisely with just the right amount of emotion. The emotional parts snuck up on me and I‘d find myself weeping. It was a lovely read and I couldn‘t help thinking if I had a chance to go back in time for just a moment, even if it couldn‘t change the present is there anything I‘d want to say or do. This is one of those books that reminds you to seize the day.

IuliaC I enjoyed all 5 books in this series ❤️ 2w

SarahBookInterrupted @IuliaC really?! Great, then I‘ll read the next one. I felt very satisfied by the end of this one so I wasn‘t sure if I‘d continue but I think I‘ve heard enough that it‘s worth reading the others too. 2w

Super-late to #jolabokaflodSwap2024 (just finished a 7-day stretch of work at the Children‘s Hospital for Christmas) but this is just what the doctor ordered! Thank you, @Roary47 !!! The chocolate didn‘t melt!

Bookwormjillk I‘m still thinking about bluesky. I really like threads but I know it‘s run by the Meta people. I‘m alternating deep cleaning and slothfulness today, and eventually want to make it to the library. 3mo

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk I like Threads too but want out of Meta. It's a lot to think about as it's such an integral part of our lives now. Hope you het a good library haul 😊 3mo

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I can't imagine that she's thrilled about this trip. 😅 Good luck 🐾 3mo

kspenmoll I am a total sloth today. Still in PJs, reading in bed after breakfast. If I decide to, a library visit for a hold. There is always Sunday… 3mo

TheBookHippie @kspenmoll I made it to library yesterday!!! Arendt was in! Yay. Library closed here Sunday- Jesus didn‘t read apparently -or it‘s a sin -who knows.. 😂😂😅. 3mo

AllDebooks @kspenmoll a duvet day is always a good day 😍 3mo

Soscha I‘m always juggling multi reads & stuff I need to get working on. Portable Greek Reader & Greek Classics stuff (a major I missed out on), ARC stuff I‘ve involuntarily gave up on. Couple audiobooks, Serial Reader (Phantom of the Opera). Just started Prince of Hearts (Kiru Taye) which I‘ve learned is surely set in Lagos, with Hausa slang—and now *must* learn Hausa as these are the crayze sidetracks I get on. 3mo

AllDebooks @Soscha I hear you x 3mo

LeahBergen We are having a HUGE dump of snow today so I‘ve decided that I‘ll be “snowed in”. Nothing is allowed except reading. 😆 3mo

AllDebooks @LeahBergen haha 😄 I did that on Tuesday. 💙❄️ Enjoy ❄️💙 3mo

bookwyrm7 Ooh I didn't know this was a thing. I love it! Will try to join you all next Saturday. 3mo

Traci1 Today is my 28th wedding anniversary. Husband is working and I'm home with our 2 youngest. Our middle child can't be left home alone, so the plan is takeout sushi dinner and maybe watch a movie. 😊 3mo

Suet624 Saying goodbye to family as they all disperse after the holiday. 😳😩 cleaning an Airbnb and then on the couch to read and nap and read and nap. 😂 3mo

AllDebooks @Traci1 Wow, 28 years!! Congratulations x 🍾 3mo

AllDebooks @Suet624 I love a game of nap roulette, could be 10 minutes, could be 3 hours 😅🤪 3mo

Suet624 You too?! That 3 hour nap is always a surprise. 3mo

Kitta Finished a book today, still recovering from pneumonia (mostly better but tired easily) so it‘s sweats and relaxing for me!! 3mo

Traci1 @Kitta hope you're feeling better. Sweats and relaxing sounds wonderful. 3mo

AllDebooks @Kitta glad you're recuperating. Keep up with the R&R x 💕 3mo

Soscha I‘m looking at the 2025 Tournament of Books long list. Will I be able to finish them all this time? (Likely not!) 3mo

Kitta @Traci1 thanks! It‘s been a long road and I‘m definitely doing much better than I was. Lots of tea and antibiotics helped. I was off work for almost 3 weeks 😬 3mo

Kitta @AllDebooks thanks, I‘m definitely doing much better than I was - still a bit tired and coughing but much improved. ❤️ 3mo

JudeCC Thanks so much for the tag! I‘ve been so sick and today is awful. In bed rn. 🤧🤕 Hope everyone is doing ok. Blessings and a fun winter to all. Sending love. ❤️ 3mo

AllDebooks @JudeCC oh no, get well soon. Rest is the best. X 3mo

Had no idea this was based off a play until after I bought it. Some reviews said they didn‘t really like the writing style, but it didn‘t bother me too much. Some parts were a tiny bit repetitive, but I really did love the last two chapters… Sisters and Mother and Child. Loved the ending.

Garabrandtreviews Are you going to read the other three books? They are all amazing 13mo

AbstractMonica @Garabrandtreviews yes, I added them to my tbr pile so I‘m hoping to get to them soon 13mo

SarahBookInterrupted @Garabrandtreviews are the others similar or completely different? I really enjoyed the book, but felt satisfied so I‘m not sure if I should read the others. 2w

Don‘t mind me, I‘m just sobbing in a corner for all of eternity. This was beautiful. It hurt in all the right places but it was a good thing.

CatLass007 The description of this book sounds intriguing. I‘ve added it to my Audible wish list. 1y

#UnpopularOpinion time. I feel a bit like Scrooge shouting Bah! Humbug! but this did not live up to its hype for me.
While I love the concept, I found the stories overly sentimental, some of the characters really irritating, and if the prose had been written in the present tense it would have read exactly like overly detailed stage directions. 🤷🏼‍♀️

TrishB I bailed on this and have been forever scratching my head at the appeal! We definitely can‘t all like the same things. 2y

Leniverse @TrishB I read it one story at the time in-between other things, because it's only short and I was curious to see if we'd get some explanations. But I definitely won't be getting the sequel. 😆 Glad it's not just me though! 2y
