Sweet Anticipation: Music and the Psychology of Expectation | David Brian Huron

Soubhi, it has arrived! And what a stack! Thank you! So excited to open these soon. And I‘m about to read your letter. I love the little dachshund stickers on the back of it. 😍

The books I ordered for you have also arrived, so I plan to ship out to you the day after Christmas in NC. I don‘t want to miss you in Texas and this way it‘s one less thing for you to haul. Best of luck with the drive.

@ncsufoxes, we've been matched again! I know from past experience that opening day will be awesome. Anticipating what's under the wrapping for #blackhistorymonthswap #bhms #blitsyswap gifts. Less than two weeks to February 28!

Chelleo I always wonder if people have been matched before. Glad it was a good experience! 3y

ncsufoxes @TiminCalifornia glad that it arrived safely. I laughed when I saw you were my recipient match since I just sent you another package not too long ago. Open the card last since that is my explanation of what I picked. I hope that you enjoy everything 😊 (edited) 3y

Expectation | Anna Hope

Finally, a new adult fiction book 📖 that I actually enjoyed. The characters were a bit baby obsessed but I enjoyed reading about the struggles of people who are only ten years older than me.

Marzahn, mon amour: Geschichten einer Fu�pflegerin | Katja Oskamp

I went on a shopping 🛍 spree today and of course I couldn‘t pass over the local bookstore!
Marzahn Mon Amour is a German bestseller, and I hope it is as amusing as it looks. I have high expectations for #Expectation (haha) because of the blurb comparing it to Sally Rooney. We‘ll see!

Finally, checking #BOTM every hour for the last two days is starting to pay off. 😂😂

Reviewsbylola Same. I really want the new J Courtney Sullivan so I‘m glad I can at least add it on. Not sure what my other choice(s) will be tho. May need to see what others choose first. 😂 @erinreads 4y

Reviewsbylola What did you pick? @Lesanne 4y

Lesanne @Reviewsbylola I picked The Beauty in Breaking, the memoir by the ER doctor. As a nurse I like well written medical memoirs (especially with crazy ER stories!) and I thought her perspective as a Black woman would make it especially powerful. Also one of my #LMPBC groups is going to read Mexican Gothic so that helped narrow it down. 4y

Reviewsbylola I think Beauty of Breaking will end up in my box. I‘m torn about Mexican Gothic. The fantasy element is scaring me away. @Lesanne 4y

Lesanne @Reviewsbylola I love fantasy, so I‘m glad I didn‘t have to choose! I‘ll be curious to see which one you go with. 😊 4y

Elizabeth has no expectation of a renewal of Darcy‘s love but she hopes for it.❤️

“A man who has once been refused! How could I ever be foolish enough to expect a renewal of his love? Is there one among the sex, who would not protest against such a weakness as a second proposal to the same woman? There is no indignity so abhorrent to their feelings!”
