 Year of Yes – 284 I connected with an old friend today and it reminded me how magical and easy it can be to spend time with someone who knows you and sees you. New friends can be fun and exciting and yet old friends are like comfy clothes that always fit you just right. It’s always good to have a mix of both. Yes to reconnecting. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes
3.5 stars. Enjoyed this story quite a bit. It’s romance but it’s also about academia and it’s also about friendship. Quick read.
This book was super over the top and that it has a bunch of crazy twists and narrators that are somewhat unreliable. All of which is usually a combination I am not fond of anymore but this book was clever and the twists all made me smile. Quite enjoyable to be honest.
I have so many things to say about this book. I think there were a lot of very interesting and valuable learnings in this book but I wish so many of the stories didn’t center around alcoholics and some of it was around the milder versions of codependency. It still left me with a lot to think about.
While I found this story quite long, I did enjoy the time I spent with it. The tennis family in the story and all the research Moriarty clearly must have done was interesting. Several of the characters were also interesting but, of course, the marriage and the relationship between the two main characters was the best part. Some of it felt a bit unbelievable to me, but overall I still enjoyed it.
I loved this story of two siblings who are writing back and forth to each other while one of them has run away from home. There are many trigger warnings for this story, especially around domestic abuse but in the end, it’s a story about resilience and sibling support and making your own family in the world.
meh. this was interesting for a while and i kept waiting to see what was going on. The twist was interesting, but it was all so over the top. I am done with these super over the top stories.
i read this sweet, cute story in a flash. it was fun and sweet and i liked the characters. it likely won’t stick with me for a long time, but it was a wonderful way to spend a day.
I loved every minute I spent with this novel. This story is told from the perspective of a Maid who works at a fancy hotel. She finds one of the guests in his room, dead. The story unfolds from there to tell you the before and after. This maid, Molly, has a very ordered, specific life she lives and her life and the order the clings on to is completely upended as a result of her discovery. Molly is very, very good at what she does and she lives by a strong work ethic and moral code. She is unusual and doesn’t always follow what’s going on or understand enough of the world to read between the lines. This means that sometimes people can take advantage of her. This story has a little bit of everything. There are unexpected twists and turns. There is joy and kindness and disappointment and deep unkindness. It’s a story with so much heart that it’s not possible not to love it. with gratitude to netgalley and Ballantine Books for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.  Year of Yes – 283
Lately I find that I am running out of time often. Time is passing quickly and I am having trouble getting all the things I want to do, done. When I feel this way, I am usually cranky so I am reminding myself that time is the most precious asset I have and it’s the only one that cannot be replenished, thus it helps me to be intentional about how I use mine. I don’t know what the right answer is for me right now and I am having a hard time choosing so instead I decided to make a list of things I never regret spending time on: – playing games with my kids That’s some of my list. So the plan is that when in doubt I do one of these. Yes to using time well. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 282
Here’s to choosing joy again and again! Yes to joy. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 281
Happy Friday. Today was hectic and full but I still feel the ease I’ve been trying to hang on to. Let’s see how long I can stay with it. I hope your weekend plans are exactly as much or as little as you like. Yes to choosing the life you want. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes |
