My February reads. It was another fantastic reading month. Now, on to March!
pickstarted out as a 4star read for me but then gradually turned into a 3.5 mainly because the main protagonists kept going round in circles torturing each other with do they/don‘t they - come on !!!!!………
Mollie moonbeam does love ❤️ reading 📖 in bed 🛌 😆and so does mummy 😆 anyone who loves one day and normal people will L❤️VE this slow burn 🔥 courtship only 50pages in and got to drag myself mollie & her brother Ted out for a walk whilst the sun is shining happy 😃 Monday #litsylove #bookspinbingo
pickWith a blurb that references One Day and Normal People, this just about lives up to that. A sweet story of perceived “bad boy” Will, studious Rosie, and Rosie‘s twin, Josh, as they finish sixth form and try to find their way. It really is a lovely story - with that ever elusive romance without the cringe factor - yet I‘d say this didn‘t quite reach the heights of Sally Rooney genius for me, I agree more with the One Day vibes.
so-so
If the love of your life, your soulmate, were to end their own existence ,how would you go through it? The story unfolds a deep, raw exploration of grief—😢😥😞shifting from quiet sorrow to fiery outrage😡. It's a poignant journey through emotions, though it may not leave you breathless. While it‘s a compelling read, it doesn‘t quite reach the heights of something truly unforgettable.
pickA friend of the family gave me, my sister, and my mom this book after my dad died a year ago tomorrow. I‘ve been reading a page a day, as it is organized by calendar days. I do think it helped. There were some common themes that resurfaced throughout the year. It at least regularly gave me the space once a day to work through my grief. As the book mentioned, there is no set time for when it will feel better. A year later doesn‘t stop the hurt.
pickSweet romance between a widowed, single father hockey player & a woman recovering from the physical & emotional ravages of trying to make it as a professional ballet dancer. It dealt with some heavy topics while being both realistic & positive about them. I loved that the hero was explicit about coming to understand the burden of the family‘s emotional labour that his wife had borne for him. While sex happens & is talked about it‘s not graphic.
No audiobook at the moment but I wanted to share this project anyway 😊 going to be a birthday gift to my brother-in-law 🪡
