pickHard to believe this one came out ten years ago! Since its release in 2015, with the sequel out 5 years later, I decided to re-read this one to fully enjoy the whole duology! And I‘m so glad— while I clearly remembered the central, larger than life romance of an Iowan foreign exchange student meeting and falling in love with a prince, I had forgotten the side dramas between the friends & her twin that added so much more to this romance! So fun!
so-soA Hallmark Christmas movie in a book. Identical twins switch places and find love in each other‘s town. It was fine.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I realize I‘m getting to this book so much later than most people, but I absolutely adored it! It was much more emotional than I was anticipating, & Rowell always excels at writing these very realistic characters who I am so invested in.
I know that Rowell also wrote Cath‘s fanfic, but even more than that, I wish there was just more of these characters. Five biggest stars.The audiobook was wonderful, too. I didn‘t want this story to end.

Excited to announce that our second pick for the #OhCanada Book Club will be The Girls by Lori Lansens - a fictional book about conjoined twins. I flipped a coin because the vote was tied. This book club will run every two months, so this will be the March/April book. Excited to continue the Canadian book journey!

pickIt‘s Field Day at Secca Lake & nobody can stop making fun of Andy, who believes in aliens & hopes to see a UFO at the lake. Andy gets the last laugh when a few of them get lost in the woods & come across some strange looking instruments & someone they are convinced is a Martian, but is really a man in beekeeper‘s garb. Fun fun. 👽👽👽

bailedCouldn‘t even finish it. Characters were all so flat and I couldn‘t relate to any of them. For a guy who has 4 kids of his own, the author sure doesn‘t understand kids. Also Litsy app hasn‘t been working for me since my phone updated. Hence my absence. But got it fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Yay!
