pickThis was a sweet novel, although the second half felt truncated. She says in the beginning how much she would come to know her son's father's ways, but she never does.

pickBook 32 of 2025. We‘re watching the series, so I figured I would read the books first! I really enjoyed these! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I need no convincing to read a book by Niall Williams, but reviews by Edna O‘Brien, Paulo Coelho, and Marianne Faithfull on his debut novel would definitely have convinced me.
so-soI read Nelson‘s second book, Small Worlds, and really enjoyed it.
If I hadn‘t read Small Worlds, I‘d probably be raving about Open Water.
And there‘s the problem. Both books seem far too similar. They are basically exactly the same story with names and professions changed.
The prose in both books is lovely. But I hoped for something more.

pickLiz leads a fundraiser for the Fowler Memorial Hospital but still finds time to worry about Regina Morrow dating Bruce Patman. So far in #SVH, Bruce‘s been a braggart & downright creep—plus this is Regina‘s first time at school for hearing students, & her first boyfriend! Jessica meddles by starting a rumor about why Bruce dates Regina, but in the end Bruce puts Regina first so she can go to Switzerland for a year of surgery to repair her hearing!
pickI loved this book. The language is so spare yet so evocative. Reading this was like reading poetry. A powerful and moving book. This may turn out to be my book of the year. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Can you believe Twilight is 20 years old? Grabbed my anniversary edition and it‘s beautiful!! A book rec for “monstrous” if you haven‘t read it yet.😆

"Beyond that, I knew nothing, especially not of love's beginnings, of that inexplicable draw to another, why some boys could pass you by without notice but the next has a pull on you as undeniable as gravity, and from that moment forward, longing is all you know."
Awwww, this made me rather weepy.
Couldn't decide what to read! I don't actually know how the book spins or bingo things that people do on here work, so I just put out six books from my TBR shelf and rolled a dice 😊🎲
pickI planned to read the series before watching the adaption, but but my B2 available-soon hold took longer than anticipated so I binged Season1&2 and was 2 episodes into S3 before B2 dropped. I‘ve now powered off my TV. I‘m having fun with this and wondering if I‘ll get to all 3 books and seasons in less than 2 weeks time. Right now I‘m not really feeling that I‘m a member Team Belly🤪. I like both but appreciate the simplicity of the books.
