pickIt's that time of my reading year when I try (valiantly?) to clean up outstanding challenges while simultaneously picking up random #ToBlonglist titles that strike me. This book is one of the latter and was definitely an all-vibes-great-cover-no-waitlist sort of choice 🤷🏻♀️
I really liked the acerbic commentary on social mobility and class, but the last 1/4th fell apart for me when it turned into an angsty Bonnie-&-Clyde romance #tob26longlist
Waiting for my sister to pick me up for a trip to Northampton, MA. Meeting up with my 2 other sisters for a holiday sisters day! It‘s 27 degrees here so I am so bundled up I look like I am swaddled!
This library find reads slowly like the landscape- the land & its creatures, weather, etc. are written in a beautiful lyrical style. While the main character seems to merge with the landscape, I as the reader, do too merge. #coffeeandbooks

I‘m reading this one before I watch. 😉
pickAlways a good audio read with Imogen Church. This one, like a lot of Ware‘s novels, has a fair amount of creepiness.
pickThis book is between a pick and so so. I don't like how the book started. And Quinn was quite annoying as a character. There are a couple of twists in this story that I was surprised about, but it seemed to take a bit to get there. And then the book was over. So it felt like a short story. I'm glad I read it but not a favorite.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Actually wasn‘t planning to read this but received it last month for my birthday. I liked it!
pickNot the type of book I would normally read, but thank you TOB longlist - this was very entertaining and deeper than I expected it to be. Thanks @Hooked_on_books for the recommendation to listen to the audio of this one - it was fantastic. #TOB2026
pickWhat makes The Gift stand out is how relentlessly dark it gets for a story that‘s literally wrapped in Christmas paper. Most holiday-themed thrillers cautiously introduce a hint of danger or family dysfunction and then resolve everything with a heartwarming conclusion. Freida fully embraces the bleakness, resentment, and betrayal that can lurk even within the “perfect” festive season.
