This year's One Parish, One Book selection. Can't wait to get into it.
When Dimple Met Rishi is the most adorable, heart-warming, ridiculously teenager book I have read in a long time. I wish I could take it out of my brain and read it all over again right now. It was so cute. The characters are so lovable. It's so so SO good. Read it. Read it. Read it.

Such a sweet read. It's short and fast and totally perfect for an afternoon on the couch. Clay Janon is such a relatable narrator and the mystery in this book will keep you reading. I highly recommend this for a quick, relaxing read.
This has been on my TBR forever and I'm finally getting to it. What s delightful read! 40 pages from the end and j can't wait to see how it concludes!
Nicola Yoon could write about her trip to WalMart and I'd read every word unashamedly. The fact that the book is so delightful and beautifully crafted helps, I guess 😉
I finished the book a few days ago and forgot to write about it. It's lovely! I love reading about the immigrant experience. I love reading it through the eyes of a these wonderful characters who are complex and beautiful and wonderful. My heart broke with them. I rejoiced with them. And for a brief moment, I was in their family. It was lovely.
Just finished this audiobook and all I could think was THAT'S IT?!
This book was so beautiful. It's not a hard read. It's a fast read. It's a lovely, lovely, lovely read. On the heels of a very sad book, this was like a delightful little piece of chocolate cake.
Have you ever tried to read a book and couldn't get into it? It took me three tries to get into this book. Sometimes, I think the right book has to pick us at the right time. But now it's un-put-downable.
Starting this today. Can't wait to get into it. I never saw the movie, so I don't even know what to expect. But it sounds beautiful, already!
What a lovely read! It's quick and easy. The characters are charming. There's a serious tension that travels the entire book until it all is resolved. I loved every page.
It took me all day. I've been reading this book all. Day. I'm a slow reader, so usually I'm good to pace myself and read a little bit everyday for a couple of weeks. But not this one. I had to read every word and I had to read it today. And I'm so glad I did. It's beautiful. Probably the best book I've read in a LONG time. Oh my Clark Gable, will I ever recover?
Have you ever found a book that makes you ALMOST cry for 8 hours straight? That's me with this book.
I consumed this book like it was water. It's not a hard read, it's not a long read, but it's a beautiful read. A. J. Fikry is stodgy and entirely unlikeable when we first meet him and I was totally expecting a Man Called Ove kind of scenario. This is truly lovely and I'm so glad it was our book club pick this month!
This book is delightful! It's an easy read and I've blown through 1/3 of it in a sitting. I'll definitely have this finished by book club on Monday. 😊
This was really an interesting narrative. It's told from the perspective of somebody with dementia. The story line picks up and drops off in an infuriating way. The thread of a mystery is pulled and followed until it just stops. Stories break mid-sentence and sometimes it's hard to figure out if the narration is in the present or the past. AND IT'S AMAZING!
Omg it's so good! I could not put this book down!
Spending my birthday the best way I know how. #marchintoreading #reading #amreading
I hate that I'm such a slow reader, because this book really is a page-turner!
Any book that opens with a map of God's favorite country is okay by me. 😉 #texanforlife
I loved this book! It was a great narrative and wove stories together so beautifully. Like Lauren Hillenbrand's nonfiction, this read more like a novel than like a research paper. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Had to stop reading Elizabeth is Missing to read this lovely book for a book club I'm joining. It's such a good, powerful read. The history is so rich and unlike anything you'll have learned in school. The narrative is easy and forward-moving. I love it!
My second pick in this year's reading challenge is Elizabeth is Missing. On Modern Mrs. Darcy, one of the challenges requires me to read a book with an unreliable narrator. I thing reading a narrative through the eyes of somebody suffering from dementia fits that bill perfectly. And it's already so hard to put down!
I love everything about this book! The characters are charming (even the reclusive M. M. Banning.) The story moves forward and keeps you riveted. Nothing ends up like you'd hoped, but it's perfect.
What a lovely book! It's witty and fast-paced and hilarious. The story is riveting and the characters are the enigmatic beings, always changing, and you can't help but love them. What a delightful way to end 2016. ☺️
A third of the way in and I can't put this book down! Frank is a totally endearing and draining character and I can't get enough of his story.
I'm not totally sure where I stand on this book. It was captivating, once I finally got into it. But when I finished it, I didn't feel hung over, like I typically do after a good book, like I've done after the last few books I've read. In fact, I immediately jumped into another one, which is unusual. The storyline is gritty and not my style, but it was a good book. I'd recommend it to other readers.
I'm so close to the end! I wish I could read more quickly!
Okay. So I abandoned this book. Twice. But I got in the mindset to jump in and now I can't put it down.
If you haven't read it, give it a try. But give it 35 pages before you make a decision on it. It's a hard start.
So, it took me forever to read, but this book was AMAZING! I loved the characters, I loved the setting. It was an engaging and beautifully written narrative. And the audiobook is great.
"Be careful when choosing what you're proud of--because the world has every intention of using it against you."
Finished my thesis, so I've got time to read again! Can't wait to get into this lovely book!
I devoured this book. Could not put it down. I just finished and I can't shake the feeling that I want more. More. More. More. There's never enough Rainbow Rowell for me. She could write the names in the phone book and I'd read it all.
This is lovely. I can't say enough good things. So. Just read it.
Y'all. This book is lovely. It's clever and beautiful and deals with actual teenage issues in a light hearted and totally believable way. It kept me laughing. It made me cry. I experienced a full spectrum of bookish emotions.
Simon Spier could be any high school student. He is dealing with love and life and friends and blackmail and still worrying about grades. He's just so real. I identified with him. I became him. What a lovely read!
Is this just this generation's "You've Got Mail" or "She Loves Me?"
"This was supposed to be--this is mine. I'm supposed to decide when and where and who knows and how I want to say it."
Seriously this book is something everybody should read.
When you don't have time to read, so you let somebody read to you. I love audiobooks.
This is getting too exciting to put down! Maggie Stiefvater always captivates me!
