This may be a new top five favorite book!

It is a wonderful commentary on modern society and how women must be “figured out” and fit in the role of being a wife/mother OR a high-achieving career woman.

For the MC, her friends, family & coworkers all can‘t figure out why she‘s thirty-six, unmarried, no children & has a dead-end job. Spoiler alert: It‘s because she doesn‘t owe it to them to be “figured out.” ✊🏻 This book speaks to me!

marleed I read it this week too and loved it. 6y

Megabooks @marleed Awesome 😊 6y

Caterina Loved this book!!! ❤ And yay you're crushing your book goal! 6y

rubyslippersreads I‘ve been wanting to read this one since @batsy recommended it. 6y

Megabooks @Caterina Thanks! I made it when things were worse in my life, and now that things are better, I wish I had made a larger one! 6y

Megabooks @rubyslippersreads It‘s really good. I was surprised. 6y

batsy It spoke to me, as well. A most intriguing book, though I also felt the underlying darkness/sadness. Great review! @rubyslippersreads 6y

Megabooks @batsy It makes me want to read more Japanese fiction! And thank you 😊 6y

Cinfhen I just found this book so sad. It was too much dark humor for my personal taste. 6y

Megabooks @Cinfhen That‘s interesting because I found the message hopeful. As a single, childfree 39 year old who has worked a lot of different jobs, I like that she resisted trying to be pigeonholed by family and friends just to fit in. She was true to herself in the end. 6y

Cinfhen That‘s a great way to describe her and I see where you are coming from. I guess I was put off by the repetitive talk of “being normal” and “not normal” I found it painful in a way. Maybe it was in the translation that I took it too literal. I would try this author again. 6y

Megabooks @Cinfhen Me too. And I want to read more Japanese fiction. I have this one on #audible. I think it‘s on #hoopla

Cinfhen I‘ll look for it ~ thanks 😘 6y

wanderinglynn How are you doing on your fitness goal? I haven't seen any recent #BFC posts as to the fitness goal and I wanted to make sure you're moving along with us. You can adapt or change your goal if you need to. Several others have had to change their goal because sometimes life happens. #nooneleftbehind 6y

Summer Is Here | Heidi Pross Gray

I almost didn't go down this path during my #audiowalk because I was trying to #ssdgm, but it was too pretty to resist. There's still a bit of blossoming going on, but pictures like this make me realize that summer is here in Nashville and that a hoodie was a terrible choice for my walk. 😆 #bookfitnesschallenge #bfc @wanderinglynn

TheSpineView I love walking outside even in hot weather. Keep up the good work! 6y

alisiakae I‘m next door in N.C. 😃 Today was pretty mild, we‘ve actually had an unusually mild May, by this time we‘re often wishing the neighborhood pool would open early! 6y

CoverToCoverGirl Wish is was summertime here... heading into several days of cold dreary rain. Great spot to go for a walk! (edited) 6y

ferskner @4thhouseontheleft this is just my second spring here, and I remember it being much colder last year at this time. So I have no idea what I should expect. :) 6y

Leftcoastzen Very pretty! 6y

ferskner @wanderinglynn Yes! I'm sorry, my sister and her kids were in town this weekend and it ended up being much busier than I'd expected (as it usually is with kids :) ). I'll get my update posted ASAP! 6y

ferskner @TheSpineView @CoverToCoverGirl @wanderinglynn @Leftcoastzen @nu-bibliophile @guinsgirlreads @BookwormAHN @dariazeoli @Clwojick thank you! I feel very lucky to have it so close. 6y

wanderinglynn How is your #BookFitnessChallenge going? I wanted to check-in with you to make sure you're moving along with us. 😀 You can adapt or change your goal if you need to. #nooneleftbehind 6y

Scochrane26 @wanderinglynn I didn‘t hit fitness goal last week but will try this week. I have read one book. My life is much more up in the air these next few weeks than I had originally thought it would be. But, I do need to walk/yoga to help me deal with the changes. (edited) 6y

wanderinglynn @Scochrane26 No worries. I didn‘t meet all of mine either. The important thing is not to quit. Change your goals if you need & add some mental health fitness too. 💜 And let us know if you need anything. We‘re here for you. 6y

Booked: A Traveler's Guide to Literary Locations Around the World | Richard Kreitner

I just got back from a brisk walk and now I‘m relaxing on my porch as a storm rolls in, with some books and a nice cold beer. Hope you all are enjoying the challenge and your weekend. #BookFitnessChallenge @wanderinglynn

LMJenkins @wanderinglynn I did fall behind. 😔 I‘ve been walking, but life got in the way and I haven‘t been on Litsy in over a week, I think. Oh well. You are very sweet to check on me! 6y

wanderinglynn That‘s okay. My first two weeks haven‘t been stellar either. The key is to not quit and to keep moving forward. Sometimes progress means taking baby steps. ❤️ 6y
