This is my #top24of24! I was a bit stingier with the 5⭐️ this year, and only 8 received that (upper left quadrant plus Dead Bastards and Cue the Sun in bottom right). The rest are 4.75⭐️ and 4.5⭐️.

I‘ll tag a few people to get things started, please share your favorites and tag a few more 💝

I just have to share this text exchange because it totally made my day! A friend and I started an IRL book club 3 years by creating a fb group and opening it up to moms in our county. We have maintained a core group of about 10 members including this amazing woman. Books bonding people and changing lives. She‘s become one of my closest friends, too. 🩷📖✨
Imagine being on your honeymoon and finding a book that mirrors your current life's everyday exactly. This was how this book started and I was dying to see how it would unfold, but then,... I hate having to write reviews for books by one of my favourite authors when they have written something which in my opinion missed the mark of his usual writing. it felt like it kind of fizzled was the ending so abrupt because word count had been reached? ⭐⭐
