pickTHIS one I liked more. The banter between Little Sh*t Asteroth and Always Fighting Calladia was tasty. Maybe I'm just a sucker for...well, this wasn't exactly enemies to lovers, but it was close! As close as you can probably get in contemporary fiction. The ending was...interesting, but I can appreciate that these books, while romances, try to tackle Big Issues(TM) as well as personal ones.

pickWhy do I read other books when I‘m supposed to be reading a particular book?
This was so tender, such an unexpected read. I couldn‘t help imagining myself in all their places (kind of the point, I know)

pickOMG, this book! 😍 It totally stole my heart in a “A Man Called Ove” sort of way. I had tears in my eyes by the end. Loved it!
I‘m struck by this assertion: A book does not exist until it is read. A writer writes the words. But WE as the reader decide what the story is. What a fabulous and provocative topic of discussion for a book club.
pickHow to read a book, according to “How To Read a Book”: slowly – savoring the story, the “meanwhile”, the turn of phrase that makes you catch your breath just a little. The characters were so relatable and I felt like I would want to meet them and call them friends. So thoughtfully written and full of soul filled moments that make you think about life, love and the beauty of human connection.
Book 1/100 of the year.

so-soI enjoyed it but for some reason I wasn‘t in a rush to keep picking it up. Yet I didn‘t want to stop reading it. I liked the charachters but I think it never felt like it was leading up to anything
