Just ok for me. I enjoyed the nostalgic aspects of having grown kids. But the menopause stuff was a bit much for me

Not sure how, but this book is both heavy and light. It‘s both happy and sad. It‘s a very different book then anything I‘ve read

TheBookHippie One of my top ten reads last year. 2w

A wanted to love this one because I know a lot of people do. But it was just ok for me. Spoiled rich kids making poor decisions without consideration of the people they are hurting.

Loved this one 5 ⭐️. Life can be complicated, life can be simple. There is love, loss, tragedy, deception. Doing the things you love to do in a place you love with people you love is all that matters.

Not at all what I expected. I loved it! I thought it was about gaming, but more about growing up, relationships ( friends and lovers and colleagues) it‘s about failing and then figuring out how to get over it and it‘s about loss. So much heart.

I chose this one because it was set in San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles are and I was traveling there for my daughters Cal Poly graduation. It was a decent private investigator read and fun to read about all the different areas where I was. This picture was from our hike in Cambria.

This was a 5⭐️ read for me. I great twisty thriller. I didn‘t guess the end. Never read this author before, but definitely going to read more by her. Check the trigger warnings, it‘s a story of a child abduction.

This one was just Ok for me.an interesting story, but a little dry and spread over too long of a time period. There was a lot of factual information that was new to me though

Karisimo Have you read other titles by Marie Benedict? They always fall flat for me 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7mo

I can‘t remember where I got the recommendation for this book. This was a very eye opening perspective of poverty for children. What‘s it‘s like to be a kid who is so poor they can‘t afford food and still trying to fit in with friends and be a good human and not feel shame. It‘s a very quick read.

This was a great read. It really delves into the complicated relationships between women, both in family and in friends. It also address all the ways being a women requires special knowledge care. Could not picture a man being able to get through reading this book. Lots of talk about blood.

This book was very thought provoking. You can‘t fit love and mothering into a mold to make some one ‘good.‘ Also an interesting narrative on how women and men are treated so differently in the expectations of parenting.

Romantic Comedy | Curtis Sittenfeld

This was a fun book to read. The beginning takes place during a SNL style show. The middle is an email correspondence ( I love reading stories told through letters ) and the end ties everything together. Romantic without being cheesy and a great representation of a persons self consciousness in a relationships.

Really enjoyed this. I think summer or on vacation is a great time to read it. Nothing like tropical seas, deserted islands paired with lies, murder and deceit.
