Kept seeing this one pop up in my book circles so decided to check it out. Colleen Hoover did not disappoint!
I felt the story got a little crazy by the end but overall it was a great read.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Any other CH recs (especially if on KU) to follow up with? I've already read Verity! (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

This one has been sitting in my TBR for far too long and I'm disappointed in myself for not having read it sooner! Absolutely loved! Everything you could expect and more from Nikita Gill! 💜

Trista Mateer never disappoints! Moving and relevant, another favorite from a modern poet!

Reread a childhood favorite with my Bubba a few months ago. Dahl's stories are always a beloved classic in my home 🖤

Absolutely loved the newest addition to Amanda Lovelace's poetry collection!

A really great set of poems that mix modernity and classic fairy tale themes and tropes. A short read but very thought provoking!

🌟🌟🌟🌟 4/5 stars

So this copy was actually vol. 1-6 and feels like a complete story but I'm definitely going to be looking out for the next issues! A little spoilery if you watch the show but overall very entertaining!
⭐⭐⭐⭐

👍👍👍

Came across this one at the library, looked interesting 🙂

A great, short read!

Not feeling so great today so I'm staying in bed with my books!

Started a few pages of this while at the library. Been waiting to get my hands on Rainbow's interpretation 😀

Just kidding! I just found a few more!

#LibraryHaul #MPL

Finally got around to renewing my library card! My first haul consists of graphic novels. The tagged book has been on my TBR forever, so that's first up!

#LibraryHaul #McallenPublicLibrary

Such an amazingly moving book! I've always loved the movie but I think I love the book more despite how close the two are.

4/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Maybe today I'll ignore my house chores and finish this book that I've been reading off and on for almost 3 months 😅

I freakin LOVE my new Kindle! I was using a Fire tablet before and it just wasn't the best for reading exclusively, so my wife let me get this as a mother's day gift to myself! It's super lightweight, holds my ebooks and ALL of my past and present Netgalley ARCs, so I can maybe start working through that tbr! AND I finished off the semester, submitted grades, and am officially on summer break!
😅🙌📚🎉

Got a new Kindle for Mother's day and found the Filter settings... if this isn't the story of my life, idk what is! 😂

Thought my fellow Littens would get a laugh out of it! 😂😅

Also, finished reading Holes to my son last week! He loved it and is now asking to find the companion guidebook! We even watched the movie over the weekend. The deal was he had to AR test on the book at school before we could watch the movie. He tested and got a 90% and 6+ AR points! He said it's one of his favorite books now 😊 Always a recommended for young (and young at heart!) readers 📚

I ordered myself a new Kindle for Mother's day so to get back into the swing of reading now that the semester is winding down (and finals are starting to come in!) I have more free time to get back to my books.

Starting with this one that's been on my TBR for awhile now. I didn't realize how much I missed the Covey family ❤

Happy reading! 📚📚📚

I've been neglecting my books for a few weeks as I've been getting back into the swing of work (and catching up on grading 😅) following my spouse's medical problems. I've also been very dedicated to a large cross stitch pattern for the last two weeks (I'm about halfway done!) so my books have been on hold.

BUT I can't wait to dive into these 2 and the couple others on my Kindle!

My son asked to read Holes during nightly story time and how could I say no? One of my all-time favorite books and I can share it with my main man 💙 He's already asked to watch the movie once we finish the book 😊

This book was crazy from start to finish! Not my usual fare but the plot seemed interesting and, to me, felt somewhere along the lines of a CSI or SVU episode, which worked for me because I love both of those shows 😅 Aside from some of Its ridiculousness, the book keeps your attention and make you want to keep reading just to find out what happens. I give it 🌠🌠🌠🌠

Every once in a while,
my friends will say,
"That's gay."
Or my parents will wonder,
"Why do shows now have so many queers?"
Like it's a bad thing
with a word they shouldn't use.
And I think,
Would they say
these things
about me?

Really relevant and heartbreaking to know so many young people have to deal with these situations. Def a rec for anyone invested in immigration laws and everything currently going on with asylum seekers and issues of immigrants crossing the border into the US.

Living in McAllen Texas I can tell yall there is NO immigration crisis down here and we are NOT a desolate area full of "illegals" and crazy violence. Don't believe the bullshit.

Came to visit my wife at the rehab facility she's staying at while recovering from surgery and found this book in her room! 😂 I haven't seen these books in years! I hope she's actually going to read it while she's here lol

Update: she said some friends brought it for her to give to our 9yo! They thought he might enjoy it! 💓

Short and very moving! This book deals with coming to terms with one's feelings and being able to deal with loss.

I really loved the character's interest in plants and flowers and the illustrations really brought everything to life!

#NetGalley #arc

A really cute book of comics! I enjoyed this one way more than the other. It's broken down into different worldly subjects and the comics are silly, snarky, and totally relatable! Really enjoyed this one!

#NetGalley #arc

These comics are very tongue-in-cheek but most of them fell a little flat for me. There were a couple that I literally laughed out loud at, and I really think my wife would enjoy the humor in these comics more than I did, but overall a cute, quick read.

#NetGalley #arc

Started this one over the weekend with my son. I just love Roald Dahl books 💓 Also, I don't remember where I picked up this copy... but I've had it for years... oh well!

Finished The Witches tonight with my son and he loved it! He's excited to see the movie now and hopefully we can still go see my university's theater production of the book in March! We might start on James and the Giant Peach next... or maybe Matilda lol we'll see what we choose 😊

#BubbaReads #StoryTime

A moving graphic novel showing the struggles of infertility and infant loss. Not what I was expecting but was pleasantly surprised at the sympathetic images and beautiful ending.

#NetGalley #arc

A great short read that shows the disparities and issues women deal with on a daily basis. It's also very inclusive of intersectional women and what they deal with. Really great!

#NetGalley #arc

I've decided to spend the rest of my February reading all of the books that relate to African American History month that I currently have on my Kindle! I also have Gabourey Sidibe's "This is Just My Face" and "Tyler Johnson was Here" (Jay Coles) but they couldn't fit in the picture lol

I'm starting with the tagged book and will try to work through as many as I can!

#FebruaryTBR #AfricanAmHistoryMonth

For the longest time, I thought the power of positive thinking would get me by. And it helps, that's for dang sure. But it takes more than thinking and hoping and wishing and praying. You need a whole lot of doing.

You make me brave enough to be the person I am and not the one I think I'm supposed to be.

It took me a little while to get through but boy Oh boy did I really LOVE this book! If you think Dumplin is good, do I have news for you about Puddin!

...that's what stories do. They connect people. Stories change hearts and then hearts change the world.

Sometimes the best things are worth waiting for. Don't be scared to take your time.

One day you'll wake up and find that there's a woman, or maybe a few, who have outlasted every changing season in your life.

The wider world wants you to think other women are drama... or catty. But that's just because when we work together, we're unstoppable.

Find the things you love and do them every day, even if it means failing.

Sometimes I think my abuela's memory is all in her hands, and if she can't touch it, she'll never truly know it.

If this were one of my movies, I'd cross the street to him and we'd kiss and that would be the end. We'd live so happily ever after that the credits would roll and you wouldn't even need to have any more details, because the rest of our lives would be wonderful, boring bliss.

And that means loving all the little and big things that make you--you!

It's like I'm reading a really good book--the kind that makes you feel like you've swallowed fireflies--except this time I'm the main character of the book. I'm the love interest! I'm the girl who gets the guy! And girls like me? You don't find us in fairy tales or on the covers of romance novels.

Was approved this ARC from Netgalley. Started it and am not really sure how I feel about it yet. Any one have any thoughts on this one?
