If you read The Little Book of Hygge, but still want some tips on finding joy in your work, then this is the book for you!

This was an extraordinarily well researched little book about finding joy and purpose in work, and what you can do if you find yourself in a situation where you can‘t. Some of the financial advice skirted a little too close to “millennials and their iced coffee” for me, but I appreciated the general advice. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I enjoy stories with interconnected characters like this. While many of the romances touched on similar themes/tropes, I liked the diversity in characters. The main romance between Stevie and Sola was actually my least favorite. I liked the overarching friendships best. Glad to read this with the #sundaybuddyread crew @TheBookHippie

Cute matchmaking fail romance. Nick is a widower still grieving the loss of his wife but finds matches for people in town. Leo moved to town hoping to find love, so Nick sets him up on dates that *spoiler* are terrible because nothing compares to the spark between the two men. Obviously.
Their dynamic was sweet, I liked their after-date debriefs

JenlovesJT47 @MemoirsForMe Garfield is the best! 🙌🏻🧡 16h
TorieStorieS I had so many of the comic book compilations— though I think my younger brother ended up loving them to death!! I don‘t think I was able to rescue more than one or two from his destructive reading habits as a kid!! 13h

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS same. My favorite cousin who was basically my big brother also loved Garfield and we had a bunch of the books. I even had a Garfield phone at one point! 🤓 13h
TorieStorieS We had a Garfield window cling for our car— but I would have definitely preferred the phone!! I did have a pretty cool killer whale one, though all I really wanted was that translucent one my older cousin had! 4h
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS ooh I always wanted one of those clear phones, they were so cool in the 90s 😆🤓 I also had a Garfield alarm clock. 4h
TorieStorieS They were the coolest! And now I am googling your clock! Definitely cooler than my Mickey and Minnie radio!🤣 3h

When Guy Haines meets Charles Bruno on the train he has no idea his life is about to unravel. On his way to see his estranged wife to hopefully obtain a divorce, Haines finds himself confiding in fellow passenger Bruno almost against his will. Bruno has his own trouble, namely his father, & during a quiet meal in Bruno's compartment, Bruno comes up with the idea of swapping murders.

OutsmartYourShelf After all, they just met & no-one can tie them together or assign a motive: “I kill your wife and you kill my father!............Perfect alibis!“. Ah but the 'best laid plans of mice & men'.

I've never seen the Hitchcock film so I've nothing to compare it to, but this was a book of two halves for me really. The first half was a bit slow & a bit disjointed to me & I was in two minds whether to carry on, but the second half was much better.
20h
OutsmartYourShelf The descent of Charles Bruno into complete psychopathy, & the inevitable tightening of the psychological torment of a guilty conscience around Guy Haines as he imagines that everyone knows were well done. Personally I found 'The Talented Mr Ripley' a better read but this was still quite good. 3.5🌟

I enjoyed this enemies-to-lovers story for the most part. The writing and plot were good but it dragged a little at about 3/4 in. Normally a slow burn is OK for me but the FMC was a bit too needy and that got on my nerves. Liked it enough that I feel comfortable recommending it. 3.75 ⭐
