Kick in' it old school.

This galley is making the rounds in my department. It's clearly been well-loved already (and I'm loving it, too!).

Heat index 105. It's hot.

I'm only 60 pages in and am contemplating my own mortality and that of everyone around me. So powerful and necessary.

IT'S HERE!

Disappearing into the Grishaverse, bye.

Bye.

"Of course, his birthdays weren't exactly fun...Still, you weren't eleven every day."

Happy birthday, Harry and JKR! Can't wait to have Cursed Child in my hands!

Who blew through this in about four hours and immediately went on to reserve the rest of the series from the library? This gal.

Just a few books to get me through #Droughtlander.

Super excited to start this one. I looooved FLIGHT PATTERNS.

"Suicide during temporary insanity, induced by reading trashy novels." ?

Very few people write nonfiction like Kate Summerscale. Completely hooked.

Pretties.

File under: late to the party and feverishly making up for lost time.

Can't stop, won't stop.

Continuing the journey through Pat Conroy's backlist.

Yayyyy! Love me some JJ.

This series started super strong, faltered a bit on book 3 (there was a lot of character introspection that felt contrived to me), and is mostly back on track with book 4. The mystery was as intriguing as ever, but there were some plot points that oddly led nowhere. Still very excited for book 5!

I'm ashamed to say I'd never read Pat Conroy before, but his death gave me the push to pick this up. Oh my GOD, so intense, but in the best possible way. An epic tale of family and the South. And now I need to catch up on the rest of Conroy's backlist.

Guys, I'm at the "that day" part of the story, help.

I love Kate Morton's books, and this one made me want to pack up and head to Cornwall. That said, I found the story to be a little predictable, and some of the plot hints were so heavy-handed that I rolled my eyes. Not an awful read, but not great.

Prepared to continue to have my heart ripped out by these characters.

Why isn't this series on everyone's radar?! Graham's books offer a fascinating glimpse into life in Cornwall in the late 18th century, with fantastically drawn characters (Ross and Demelza are my favorite new OTP). Highly recommend.

When your current self is really grateful to your past self for taking out the first two books in a series so you won't have to leave the universe if you end up loving book 1. Which I did. Like, a lot.

No surprise, this book is just as engaging as the show. A fascinating glimpse into midwifery and health care in 1950s Britain, with plenty of memorable characters along the way.
