Secrets can bring us together and tear us apart. Bennett's story weaves and untangles three character's relationships over the course of their lives. You'll want to read this one with pen in hand to underline all of your favorite lines. Thanks for the recommendation @CaitBud !

We see the span of her life unspooling in colorful threads and we chase it, wrapping it around our hands as more tumbles out. She's her mothers age now. Double her age. Our age. You're our mother. We're climbing inside of you.

Can't believe I get to read this on the HOGWARTS EXPRESS

A beautiful, understated collection of stories about an unnamed woman living in a cottage by the sea. I wish I had a physical copy of this so I could underline every line.

I'm the quantum multiverse all eventualities are possible. Which means, paradoxically, that all eventualities are inevitable.

File under books I bought for the cover 😍

I was identical to her and yet I suffered because of the incompleteness of that identity. We succeeded in being "I" only in the game now, and I knew it.

A dark story of a middle-aged daughter's identity unraveling while investigating her mother's last days. Ferrante has such a command of language and pace--you'll spend so much more time on this little book than expected.

A delightful read about friendship and marriage. Full of emotion and realistic tension. Straub's witty conversations is exactly what this summer needs.

Millie's favorite character was the much loved feline, Iggy Pop.

Everyone needs to reread this. It's just as heartbreaking as it was the first time I read it in 8th grade.

The dialogue was beautiful. But the story was tired and the characters lifeless.

Maybe this would be a good read if you don't live in NYC but love an idealized version of the city. 💁🏻

[C]ool is always past tense...It's just nostalgia.

*cue "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" by The Darkness*

Cannot wait for everyone to read this! Somehow the all the events since the Big Bang has led to Yoon crafting this beautiful love story. You'll be rooting for Daniel and Natasha until the very end.

Rabih and Kirsten's story is oh so very ordinary: love, marriage, children, and adultery. De Botton's examination of their behaviors and emotions that drive them together and apart has the reader contemplating the nature of love and trying not to underline every line.

An important book about the instability and unavailability of housing and its effects on America's poor.

Easy to read yet hard to believe.

It means uncovering the ironies and inefficiencies that arise when policymakers try to help poor families without addressing the root causes of their poverty.

Loved the way the story was told through interviews and log entries. I was never sure where the story was heading, but was very interested in the ride. The narrator/wizard of Oz/man behind the curtain is hands down the best character, hope he plays a part in the sequel! 🚀

After reading P&P for the first time last week, I can't get enough of it! This modern retelling is true to the original--witty and fresh! Who knew that the Bennets would be into CrossFit and reality dating shows?

Friendship to the MAX 👊🏻👊🏼👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻
Sweet and goofy with great art to match.

Cline captures vulnerability in an everyday, yet jarring way. She focuses on the tired desperation and loneliness of the girls in this cult, rather than the cult leader and that is what makes this stand out from another Manson Murder retellings.

What an entertaining noon on how we can become more original! Grant shows how to creat and champion new ideas through case studies that vary from Warby Parker, suffragettes, and revolutionaries.

Will definitely be telling everyone I work with about this!

An extremely important book.

O'Neill demonstrates rape culture at work and he many violations that come after the initial act and how these violations come from every angles: from her peers, neighbors, and strangers on the Internet.

They are all innocent until proven guilty. But not me. I am a liar until I am proven honest.

What was attraction if not a form of telepathy? The wild lick of two people feeling the exact same thing at the exact same time.

It's a shame that Lucia Berlin wasn't celebrated before her death; her writing is humorous, gritty, intelligent, and passionate. I had borrowed this from the library but I'm 10/10 going to buying this so I can highlight every word.

The quest to find the Welsh King Glendower is complete but kin fa aren't always what they're made out to be. How will Gamsey and his friends change his fate while also dealing with the corruption and dismantling of Cabeswater? All the character will be missed when the last page is turned.

His feelings for Adam were an oil spill; he'd let them overflow and now there wasn't a damn place in the ocean that wouldn't catch fire if he dropped a match.

The art references were the only reason I finished this--and there weren't even that many. The plot made zero sense and the twists were anything but. Hilton tried to do too much and succeed with nothing.

A beautifully written mundane story.
The Vacationers is about keeping up appearances and letting it all out, dealing with the truth and continuing to live in denial, and fighting for what you want (and what you don't).

This would be a great summer read! Funny, rude, and honest--very "American Pie". Would have maybe liked it better if my life was as drama filled, awkward, and had pined for hot boys.

One of the most intelligent children's books I've read: careful, beautiful, and precise. Savit is able to knit fairytale, folk take, magical realism, historical fiction, AND coming of age together in a story about some of the most curious characters.

Absolutely loved this! An enjoyable read with so many thought provoking passages. Although it was published in 1929, most of it is syllable very relevant. 🙏🏻Virginia Woolf🙏🏻

Didn't expect the beauty of physics to be on par with the cover, but it may have exceeded it (especially the seventh lesson).

It is hardly surprising that there are more things in heaven and earth, dear reader, than have been dreamed of in our philosophy--or in our physics.

Read for Rachel Syme's WLClub. Hatshepsut came alive in this book. Dr.Cooney told her story with grace and a deep knowledge of her subjects, even though she was quite repetitive at times.

If a woman does not renounce ambition for ambition's sake, she will be viewed as two faced or selfish, her actions fueled by ulterior motives.

I was expecting a rallying cry to singledom, but instead found her focus to be on the realities of a changing world and how we have to make greater cultural, political, and economic changes to keep up with the times. Particularly loved her sections on shine theory and finding your person 👭
