The National Book Awards were announced tonight and here are the winners (in the categories I follow)! I‘m delighted with the NF winner and I certainly can‘t argue about Everett getting his due (though a part of me wanted to see My Friends take it). The translated pick is the only one I haven‘t read yet, as it only came out last week, so I‘m looking forward to seeing what I think.
pickEmily Henry does it again! After Daphne‘s fiancé calls off their wedding—because he's fallen for Miles's girlfriend—she ends up as roommates with Miles, and the two begin to heal together. This book gave me all the feels, and I related so much to Daphne. Her trauma and mine are different, but the effects feel so familiar. Likable, relatable characters and so much heart, Funny Story is a must-read if you like romance with depth. ? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
pickA rare snowstorm in Washington (the town doesn‘t even own a snowplow), an explosion, and the dubious status of the new library site causes a situation only Miss Zukas can remedy!

Helsinki book fair ❤️ Friends, books, food, listening to author interviews, but mostly got distracted by tea and book related things 🤷🏼😍😁
