Love this! Anne Bronte is wonderful. I wish there were many more works by Anne to consume. It is unfortunate that she didn't live long enough to write more.

I have somehow managed to never watch this movie or read this book. I am glad I finally read it. It was really enjoyable! Now I will have to watch the movie.

This is a lovely story. I watched this movie a few years ago(probably because of Kate Winslet). I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I decided to try the book and it was even better than the movie.

Wonderful as always. I wish that I could have enjoyed the wonderful childrens stories created by Neil Gaiman as a child. There is so much magic in his stories.

I love Willie Nelson and I am sure that this book isn't that bad. The problem is that it isn't read by Willie Nelson. I couldn't take it and had to bail.

I have watched a lot of Agatha Christie adaptations, but this is the first book of hers that I have read. I really loved it. I can't wait to read more by her!

This book is excellent. I enjoyed it so much. It is funny and sweet and sad. The audiobook is wonderful. I absolutely adore Eleanor.

The Princess Bride has been one of my favorite movies since I was young. This book is a very enjoyable memoir of the making of the movie. It is sweet and funny and makes me want to watch the movie right now! I recommend the audiobook. It is read by Cary Elwes and other cast members are also featured.

This book should have been a pick for me. The story is really interesting. The reason this is just so-so is because the story jumps around too much and it was confusing.

This book started off slow. I was thinking about bailing on it for a while. Part of the difficulty was keeping all of the families and people straight. After I got into the story, I really enjoyed it. This is a quiet story about friendship and love. I am looking forward to following these characters as their lives progress. And honestly, that last bit had me dying to grab the next book so I could find out what happens next.

I really enjoyed this novella. It was nice to spend some more time in this world. I really appreciate the damage that everyone shows from the events of the first three books. It is nice to not just see everyone moving on like nothing traumatic happened. At the same time, this books was also full of hope. It was a really quick and lovely read.

1. 64
2. 150(I think I will end up reading much more than that)
3. I have read 10 5-star books this year. Lonesome Dove was the most recent.
4. 'Force of Nature' by Jane Harper(did not disappoint), 'Sunburn' by Laura Lippman, 'Unbury Carol' by Josh Malerman, 'A Court of Frost and Starlight' by Sarah J Maas(arrived yesterday!), and 'Only Human' by Sylvain Neuvel

I flew through this book. It was twisty and tense and I really liked it. I knew something was off in this story, but as I started to piece the bits together, I got surprised again and again. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

This is a strange little book. This book had lots of wacky ideas but I didn't hate it. Even if I wouldn't actually do a lot of the things laid out in this book, it was still an enjoyable audiobook to listen to.

This was a great mystery. I had quite a few of the twists figured out early on but it didn't stop me from enjoying the story. I didn't enjoy it as much as 'I See You' but it was still excellent.

This is a super fun YA mystery. I am looking forward to reading the rest of these when they are released. I wish I had known that this was going to end on a cliffhanger. I might have waited until the story wrapped up to read it. I have a terrible memory. I will have forgotten everything by the time the next book comes out.

I have been working on this one for a while. Some library holds and some crazy life stuff got in the way. So glad I finally finished it. I watched the mini-series way back when with my dad(I was probably in my early teens when it originally aired) and we watched it any time it was re-aired after that. I have always wanted to read the book. I was not disappointed. Love, love, love!

I think I am bailing on this one. I thought about trying to listen a bit more today, but realized I really didn't want to. This just isn't for me.

I am over 3 hours into this audiobook and I am not sure that this is for me. I stopped listening this morning and moved on to 'Truly Devious' which I am enjoying. Not sure if I should just return this to the library or give it some more time. I don't think the story or the characters are interesting so far. Does it just start slow or should I just be done with this one?

I enjoyed this book. I am not a big lover of Shakespeare but that didn't make this any less interesting. As Oliver is released from prison after 10 years, he agrees to tell the real story to the officer that arrested him. This is a debut novel and I look forward to seeing what the author does next.

This was great! I really enjoyed getting Levana's backstory. This story is a great addition to the series!

I loved this. It was just the right mix of sweet, funny, sad, and endearing. Luckily, we don't have much traffic near the farm. Otherwise, my neighbors would probably wonder why I was sitting in the field crying while I was planting onion plants today.

I couldn't stop listening to this and finished it in one day(on 2x speed). I really enjoyed it. It is really well-written, the characters are interesting, and the story flows well. Highly recommend!

I adore this book series. It is so much fun. The story moves along quickly and the characters are great. It is a great series to escape into which I definitely need right now!

This book was beautifully written. It has been on my the since it came out. I just didn't like it. It took me two tries to get through it. I probably would have bailed a second time if it wasn't for book club.

Love Carrie. Enjoyed listening to her read this book. I will be honest, it took me about 30 minutes to get over the desire to burst into tears. After that, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

So, this is going to be unpopular, but I didn't love this book. I didn't love her last book either. I almost skipped this one, but I kept hearing good things about it. I didn't hate it, it was fine. i felt like I was kept at arms length from the emotion of it. Also, she kept telling me that this was happening in the 90s, but I didn't feel like it was. I was in my teens/twenties then and I didn't feel like she captured that time period at all.

This was good. It didn't suck me in the way some other thrillers have lately, but I would be interested in continuing this if it becomes a series. I think it has potential.

I really adored these books. Life has been crazy the last couple of weeks and this was just the escape I needed! These books really sucked me in and took me on quite the roller coaster ride. Looking forward to reading more by Sarah J. Maas.

I wasn't sure I would like this series. Fantasy is hit or miss for me. I really enjoyed the first book. This one was even better! I loved it so much. I couldn't put this down. Can't wait to start the next book!

I finally finished this just in time for book club tomorrow night. I didn't love this series. I would recommend reading 'The Giver' and not continuing on through the rest of the series.

This book just missed the mark for me. The writing was good and the plot was fine. I just didn't feel drawn in by the story or the characters. There are a lot of books that tell similar stories that I would recommend instead of this one.

Small town - I took off to a bigger city in my 20s and came back as I got older. The older I get, the less I can tolerate traffic, other people, etc...
I am all over the place with music. I would say a little of both but most of the time, audio books instead.
Both
I've never had pineapple on pizza. Always wanted to try it!
I should choose Mr Darcy, but I will choose Rhett Butler every time. I love a scoundrel!

This book didn't break new ground, but sometimes these books can just give you some momentum. I was feeling a bit frustrated about some projects that I needed to tackle on the farm and this helped motivate me a bit.

I listened to this book. This is the story of the author's great great grandmother. She is said to haunt her old home which is now a hotel. The writing is fine, but the author didn't really get me interested in this story. She seemed detached from it all and so did I. Also, I didn't really love all the seance stuff. It seemed like instead of doing more in-depth family research, she talked to mediums.

This is another underwhelming installment in the Giver Quartet. I probably would have bailed on this series after 'Gathering Blue' if this series wasn't our book club pick for this month. On to 'The Son'. Maybe it will be better than the last two.

I am a sucker for a space opera. These books are so much fun. There are some great new voices in this one that I hope will continue to appear in the story. And of course, I adore the wonderful crew of the Rocinante. I can't wait to dive into the next one!

This book is excellent! I think I liked it more than 'The Dry'. Five women go into the woods on a teambuilding camping trip and only four come out. This was so creepy! The characters were all really well drawn and sympathetic. You can feel the paranoia rise as things go wrong in the wilderness. I was pretty sure that I knew what didn't happen, but I didn't figure out what actually did happen until it was revealed. Highly recommend!

So excited! I couldn't stand looking at my ebook hold showing that I was #17 on 1 copy anymore so I requested a physical copy from the library. I am already hooked and I am only on page 3.

This book was ok. I am reading this series for the first time as an adult. I listened to 'The Giver' last fall and liked it. This book was just ok. I am into 'The Messenger' next which I am hoping I will enjoy more than this book.

Wow. I listened to this audiobook today. I was looking for a quick listen today and I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is. I loved this so much! This is about a 12 year old girl named Miranda. It takes place in 1979 and her favorite book is 'A Wrinkle in Time'. This is such an excellent story. This is a mystery and so much more. I can see why this is a Newbery award winner.

I love Ruth Ware. This book is no exception. I love a good story about childhood friends coming together later in life. I found the characters to be interesting and flawed. The setting was super creepy.

I loved this book. I have wanted to read it for 25 years. I finally picked it up and tackled it. It was worth it. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series.

Tortilla chips all the way, but if you put them in front of me, I will eat the potato chips and the French fries. #thisorthat

I was hoping to spend some more time with the Hat Creek Cattle Company, but Miles has other ideas. #dogsoflitsy

I really enjoyed this book! I listened to it on audio and I would suggest the audiobook due to the podcast part of the story. This is about an old murder brought back to the forefront due to a 'serial' type podcast. This is part mystery but also part family story. I loved seeing the podcast through the lens of the victim's family.

I adore these books. These books are just so much fun. The audiobook narration is excellent. I would highly recommend this series on audio.

Elizabeth Bennett is my favorite Jane Austen character. She is an absolute delight! Thank you for hosting this giveaway!

This book is great. Jane Austen is wonderful! I really enjoyed this on audio.

I joined a book club last month and this is our book for this month. I had no idea what it was about when I picked it up. It seemed like a romance at first and I didn't think I was going to like it. Then it took a turn and I ended up really enjoying it.
