With this little volume finished today for the #HPChapterADay, it‘s time to turn another page in my new (& hopefully improved) reading journal. I‘m still working my way through What Happened, and I didn‘t even start The Princess Saves Herself poetry book, but tomorrow starts another week, and with a few of my buddy reads wrapping up maybe I can finish up some others on my TBR pile. I‘ll miss #TheNixBuddyRead and #LWReadAlong though, great groups!

Gezemice So pretty! Love those colors! 7y

“sometimes a crisis is not really a crisis at all—just a new beginning. Because one thing she‘s learned through all this is that if a new beginning is really new, it will feel like a crisis. Any real change should make you feel, at first, afraid. If you‘re not afraid of it, then it‘s not real change.”

Dorianna I have to read this book. But at the same time so much of it seems to hit very close to home in a lot of ways and I would need to mentally prepare myself first. 7y

This book was a wild ride of styles & POV‘s and I loved untwisting it‘s ‘puzzle‘. The multiple POV‘s gave depth and feeling to multiple generations in this family saga, as it unraveled layer by layer, revealing the hidden depths and deepest held secrets of each, and how those secrets affected their decisions and their lives. It‘s sometimes hard to represent parents and grandparents as complete people with complex lives in novels, where they....

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ... are often a more one dimensional side character. I loved that they all got their stories told in this larger narrative, with quite a few smart things to say about modern society. #TheNixBuddyRead (edited) 7y
Cinfhen Great review! I almost bought this the other day but it was small print 😖😡🙄I might need to do hardcover or ebook for this one😬 7y

I finished my book ladies of #TheNixBuddyRead and I clicked on Goodreads to review, and this is literally the quote that popped up for a second on the loading screen....I couldn‘t believe it! What are the freaky odds of that, I wish I‘d been quick enough to screenshot it. #Coincidence? #BookKarma
