I loved this story about an ex-hockey player who almost made it to the Olympics but didn’t as she brings her family (and her hockey playing kid) back to her hometown to face some of her own fears and past as her son learns how to navigate his new team.
What an unusual book. I really loved my time with this story that involved so much deaf culture and so many interesting facts about deaf history. I learned ASL years and years ago and this book made me want to go back and restudy so much of what I’d learned back then.
Loved this YA story of a theater girl looking for her mom Mamma Mia style. A lot of goodness in this story around friendship, family, belonging. Really enjoyed it.
I love these short novellas from Ali Hazelwood and look forward to all of them. I love the scientist women. such fun.
3.5 stars I would say this was a 3 star read all the way through for me but there’s a completely unexpected ending that meant I had to add at least a half star more. Well, done, Rigetti, well done.
This is a beautiful story Sally, her sister Kathy and Kathy’s boyfriend Billy. When Kathy has a terrible tragedy, it changes the trajectory of the lives of her parents, Sally and Billy. The story of how grief affects each person so differently and how it can get under your skin and never ever leave you. And how some people grow closer as a result while others are torn apart. There’s no right way to grieve and no ways to choose what comes next. It’s a beautiful coming of age story in the middle of unspeakable grief. With gratitude to netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I loved the Story of You when I read it last year and I have found the Enneagram to be an interesting lens to look through. I firmly believe in the idea that we write stories for ourselves and then spend the rest of our time looking for ways to prove that story and build on it so this guide which helps unravel our stories and creates space for us to build new stories was profoundly useful to me. I will keep coming back to it again and again. with gratitude to edelweiss and HarperCollins for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this excellent book around diving deeper into how to work with your anxiety. It’s a combination of concepts, exercises and reflection. You can do some of it in one sitting but there are also several exercises to help you ongoingly and to reflect as you do them over time. I found it to be very useful. with gratitude to edelweiss and quarto group for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
A sweet, beautiful book of lovely things to look forward to. Little joys of ordinary everyday life and much to be grateful for. I loved the illustrations and this quiet, beautiful book. with gratitude to edelweiss for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Roni Loren’s Say Everything series is my favorite of all romance series. I love every single character in her stories and I love the way they talk to each other and the way they care for each other. And this one is no exception. Eliza and Beck make the most lovely couple. Each struggling with their own journeys and each reserved and scared and closed off for different reasons. And yet they find each other and can’t help but love each other even if they don’t want to admit it to themselves. I love these imperfect and yet deeply kind characters who understand that the world is not perfect and that we can love and care for each other just the way we are. Love everything about this series. with gratitude to netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Every single thing about this short story is excellent. I read the version with Zadie Smith’s foreword and it was absolutely excellent as well.
What a beautiful story about love, loss, grief and living life on your own terms. Loving someone enough to walk alongside them in their journey and choosing them over your own self. I loved every moment with this book. |
