The Most Fun We Ever Had | Claire Lombardo

4.5⭐️ Had heard about this book through Sarah‘s Bookshelves and thought I would give this book a try. I ended up really liking the book; felt the book started out a little slow, but it seemed to pick up steam as I got further into the book. If you like books that have family drama, you may like this one. #2025 #contemporary #family #literary #fiction

Cathythoughts I remember really enjoying this read too. 5d

This thought-provoking book is a mix of unusual personal/family memoir and what feels like a NF version of Labatut‘s How We Cease to Understand the World. It ruminates on life, death, war, and more. I found it fascinating and I‘m glad it serves as my final completed book of 2024. #TOBlonglist

squirrelbrain Interesting…I‘ve been on the fence about reading this one, but may borrow it from the library now. 3w

Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain Yes, you should! I don‘t think you‘ll regret it. Plus, it‘s short, which is always nice. 3w

I love Ann Naplolitano‘s writing. My first book I read from her was Hello Beautiful. In her stories she includes family tragedy, guilt and large families. Complex rich stories. Her stories are written like a soap opera and I‘m here for it. #prettybookcovers #winterreading

repost for @TheAromaofBooks:

Hey friends!! So I've been looking at my life and my upcoming schedule, and I am going to pause #RandomClassics definitely for January, and maybe longer, kind of depending. I still have a huge list of classics I would like to read, and I have really enjoyed reading these with you all, but for now I need to skip a month!! I'll let everyone know when I am ready to pick back up again!!

TheAromaofBooks Thank you for reposting!! 1mo

3.5⭐️ I thought that the book was ok. I liked the ending more than the beginning and the references to Shakespeare‘s play. #2024 #fiction #retelling #historicalfiction #literary #literarycrew

I have been rewatching seasons 1-3 of My Brilliant Friend before I dive into season 4, and still love this show and books so much! ❤️

Lesliereadsalot Me too, loved all the books and just finished the series. Season 4 was one week at a time! 2mo
Amor4Libros @Lesliereadsalot That‘s why I waited to watch season 4. I don‘t usually binge-watch, but I like to know all episodes are available 🤣 2mo

Nobody needs to live alone. You‘re just more comfortable that way. A little discomfort might do you good 🛋️

ManyWordsLater Is that a quote from the book? I love it. 2mo
BittersweetBooks @ManyWordsLater yes, it is! Instead of doing book reviews on this app, I highlight my favorite quote(s) from each book. I love going back and reading them over time. 2mo
