pickI liked the premise of this book and loved the ending, but it ended up being a little heavier than I expected. Part of the heaviness was more personal to me, which certainly made it harder, but without fail, as I had that trigger while listening, I saw a beautiful rainbow all the way home.

pickI meant to read this one next month, but I picked it up and it just pulled me in. There are two things I dislike about this one. First, there's a big in-world inconsistency that I can't get past, and then there's the somewhat saccharin message, although I like how it ends, plot-wise. Those things aside, though, I quite enjoyed reading this fun and creative novel. #tob25longlist
Playing around with mocktails to enjoy while reading. Today I'm reading about a magical, husband-producing attic while drinking the "Apero Spritz" by AF out of Laguna Beach (and maybe originally New Zealand). A little too orangey (reminds me a little of Orange Crush), but the bitterness is nice, and it otherwise replicates an aperol spritz well.
I didn't expect to like this as much as I did, because there's something about Poston's style that I don't quite jibe with, and I'm not a big fan of the sweet, small town romance subgenre this celebrates. But I do love me a high concept story and this was very clever and pretty touching.

pickI listened to this book on flights to and from Alaska, and it was the perfect complement to my trip.

bailedMay has not been a good reading month for me. I have admittedly had a lot going on which may be part of it, but this is another DNF for me. The story just didn‘t grab me really at all…
