#NetGalley #DoubleSpin Available JANUARY 11
Joan lives a life of self imposed loneliness. Her workplace,as an ICU doctor is her safe place. When a new neighbor moves in & her mother comes for a visit her life is thrown off kilter.
This book was light but insightful. Unfortunately, it left me underwhelmed but I did appreciate the inclusion of the early days of Covid, not as a gimmick but as a source of authenticity.

Cinfhen I noticed this was on your #Top21of21 list @DrexEdit and that encouraged me to push it up my TBR. THANKS for posting and sharing 😊 3y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3y
DrexEdit I totally agree with what you say about including the early days of the pandemic. It did feel pretty organic here and not overly gimmicky. Glad you liked it, even as a light read! 3y
Cinfhen I‘ve read about 6 or 7 books now that have included the pandemic in some form @DrexEdit and this one felt must organic. Do you think this will become the norm for contemporary fiction !?!! 3y
Chelsea.Poole I‘ve noticed recently when reading contemporary fiction that DOESNT even mention the pandemic I‘m taken out of the story like wait a minute— this isn‘t real life, where‘s the COVID stuff!?! It‘s apparently pretty deeply rooted for me at this point 😑 3y
Cinfhen Yeah, I get that @Chelsea.Poole I don‘t mind Covid being referenced but I don‘t want it being played out. Does that make sense??? 3y
Chelsea.Poole Yes, definitely makes sense. I want to escape it too, and do not need a play-by-play either 😊 3y

I need a book that fits #UnderdogHero for #Booked2018. For those who have read it, would the tagged book work? It‘s on my shelves and would also count toward #MountTBR. 🤞🏻

LorieL I think this would apply to #underdoghero for sure! 6y
CrowCAH Definitely works for that category! I LOVED this book; still lives with me!!! 6y
Bookzombie @LorieL @CrowCAH Thank you both! ❤️ 6y

I love this trilogy, and this book was the perfect ending for it. This whole trilogy is my pick for #UnderdogHero for #booked2018 Seasonal Challenge - a ragtag group of disgraced ex-military, thieves, fae creatures, talking ancient weapons, etc. have to save themselves and the world (a couple of times!) and it‘s SO MUCH FUN!!

Cinfhen Love the graphics ❤️and what a fabulous fun choice. Here‘s another #suggestion @Reviewsbylola 6y

Final book for the @bookriot #readharder2018 challenge. The task: read “an assigned book you hated (or never finished). A brilliant friend of mine who got her degree from UC Berkeley convinced me to give it another go with this edition from Alfred Appel which will illuminate a lot more for me. I chose these images from a simple google search of Lolita. I despise the impact that this has had on culture. Maybe it was a misreading. Let‘s see...

Cinfhen Read this book for the first time this year and I actually enjoyed the book. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 6y
HardcoverHearts @Cinfhen I remember thinking the prose was amazing but I didn‘t want amazing prose from such a creep. It was over 20 years ago so I am open to seeing something different now. 6y
Cinfhen I get that 💯❗️ 6y

MemoirsForMe I listened to the memoir "Born with Teeth" by actress Kate Mulgrew for this category and loved it. She has the perfect voice for an audiobook. 8y
