I’m most surprised/impressed by your ability to read several books simultaneously!

I consider myself a very avid reader, BUT, I am still unable to dedicate myself to more than one at a time šŸ™ˆ

emma's avatar

so fair! reading very varied books can help!

I love your introduction because same. If I read over 30 books (it happens) a month, boy I'm actually not doing well (I call this "I'm trying to escape something")

emma's avatar

this exactly!!! it’s called escapism for a reason

I'm obsessed with your wedding pics, in a totally chill way, I promise šŸ‘€ Your book roundups are my favorites. I finally picked up My Year of Rest and Relaxation which started to collect dusk on my shelf after one of your last posts, and I'm so glad I did. Weird girl lit at its finest šŸ‘šŸ»

thank you SO MUCH to every part of this! my year of rest and relaxation is probably my favorite of all the weird girl books

Curious to know about the mistakes in Brazen — I read it years ago, loved it, and recently gave it to a history-buff friend so I hope I’m not setting him up to dislike it!

off the top of my head i remember some erroneous birth dates / one or two old wives tales, but i don’t think it’s anything too bad!

best: before i forget by tory henwood hoen, martyr! (reread) & the coin. worst: the compound & the guest list

emma's avatar

Lily Doyle's avatar

Love the post! With every roundup of yours, my TBR grows by five books. I’ve had my eye on Claire Keegan

emma's avatar
