Books #20 Reading Chats.

A quiet weekend for me so finished this month's book club book (overall okay) and then read The Perks of Being a Wallflower (loved it). I'm not sure why I haven't read it before but I really loved it and felt completely absorbed by it. Loved Charlie

Perks.. is one of my favourite books, so glad you enjoyed it. The film is good too.

Hi! New to the thread
I’m currently reading Trespasses by Louise Kennedy and really enjoying it. Only downside is the lack of “” punctuation, I find myself re reading because I didn’t realise it was someone speaking
Other than that it is very good

I'm in a post Beartown slump! Gave up on Alan Rickman as I didn't realise it was just actual diary entries published and started on a Bill Bryson I thought I hadn't read instead. Turns out it was just renamed for the American market - good job it was only a 50p charity shop special! What now then? I have 100+ books in my wishlist on Libby, lots available now, but I don't know what I fancy!

I hated that at first too but you do get used to it after a bit!

Just finished Other Peoples Clothes which was strange, slow but not entirely rubbish.

I'm also reading Booth which is incredibly long, slow and dull. I badly need something fast-paced and page turny!

Finished Babel, wasn't a massive fan of this enjoyed it but felt it was also very flawed. Ended up giving it 3 stars. Shame as so many peopled raved about this but I couldn't get on board.

Just starting The Bodyguard by Katherine Center hoping its going to be a cosy, easy read romance.

It takes me a week to read flawless, it was a good book and a book I’d usually give 4 stars as it had wit and banter but you know when you’re going through tit and you don’t want to read fluffy happy endings cos same

I fancy this series but yeah happy ever after romance books arent the one if youre feeling crappy sometimes.

Im reading book 1 of Tessa Baileys broke and beautiful series and its not great. I guess it must be one of her older books

I don't think Tessa Bailey books are good in general. I love a cheesy, cliche romantic fic as much as the next person. I just find Tessa Bailey books don't work, they just feel cringey to me.

Ive only read 3 prior to this but Ive thought they were ok, nothing ground breaking but ok. I think my favourite was hook line and sinker

Ive bought 3 of these though as a set so I'l read them all.

i’m reading my first tessa bailey right now (continuing with my the works challenge for this month ) and it’s……. fine i guess. however the lead guy’s main angst is that he is TOO GOOD LOOKING for life or something and i can’t take it seriously.

did just finish a witch’s guide to fake dating a demon though and it was cute, very smutty in places and overall much better than i expected.

I felt the same about Babel to the point where I feel like everyone who raved about it read a different book to me.

I enjoyed Babel in the beginning but by the last third I was ready for things to move along/ be wrapped up and it just kept dragging on! And then even though I was ready for it to end, I felt like the actual ending was really rushed and not thought through properly!

Basically I’m never happy

Which one is it?

it’s hook, line and sinker (which i now realise is the second in a series ) - i read a little more on the way to work this morning and i do enjoy her easy breezy writing but no man can be THIS good looking

Oh dear, I stumbled upon Coco Mellors on IG and now I might not like Cleo and Frank quite as much anymore. She’s a bit of a dose and she’s only 34 .

Ah it was my favourite but 'it happened one summer' sort of drip feeds Fox in before hes the main attraction in the 2nd one. I did prefer HL&S though. Piper annoyed me in IHOS and its supposed to be inspired by Schitts Creek and I loveeee Alexis!!

Oh this is on my TBR!

I've read it Happened One Summer and think I gave it 3.5/4 stars, I did really enjoy it. Not read Hook Line & Sinker yet. I read My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey and omg that was insufferable

i’ll give it a try! while it’s not amazing, i’m enjoying her writing and i get why she does so well in the genre. i love alexis too (and am now going to have a little bit alexis in my head all day)
