pickFinally finished this book and loved it BUT the first half took me weeks to read because nothing really happened and I wasn‘t invested in the characters. The second half I gobbled up in a couple days. Basically, it‘s the story of gay siblings living together and their day to day life. They have a large, complicated yet lovable family and though far from perfect, they have each other‘s back through rain or shine with ALL the love.
pickThis book was very chaotic, (in a good way!), and had one of the most beautiful endings I‘ve read this year ❤️

#TPRC 19. Falling: a book that's likely to make you emotional
It took some time searching for emotional book rec‘s that fit with the prompt. I was reading through a Reddit thread and I wasn‘t feeling moved to check out the books mentioned. Until that is I came across a commenter‘s experience with reading The Bone People. That has been on my tbr for years and maybe this is a sign to get it read in the near future.

Library holds coming in and I have been looking forward to this one. It already feels like a hot mess and I‘m here for it! 😅
pickWhat just happened?!
I don't usually read feel-good books because they tend to make me feel like 💩. Funny books rarely vibe with my sense of humour. Loud, chaotic situations (and especially families!) make me want to hide under my desk. And don't get me started on weddings!
I only picked this up because of Litsy.
I loved Greta and Valdin, the characters and the book, both.

Funny and feel-good, but in a chaotic real life kind of way. I usually stay away from books described as funny because they‘re cringeworthy, but this isn‘t like that at all.
Definitely literary, more about the characters and their development than the plot. It‘s about a brother and sister who live together in New Zealand. Their lives, their loves, and their family.

As someone with this exact tattoo, mine is also after the Oscar Wilde short story, this is hilarious. 😂
pickQuite chaotic, this book. And this family. But so funny and loving. I don‘t have much to add to what others have already said but I wouldn‘t have mind spending more time with Greta & Valdin or have people like them in my inner circle. A feel-good book!

I am about to finish The Missing Word, which is sad and lyrical. Next will be the tagged one, because everyone loves it. Wild Houses will be my next #Booker read.
