Got out of my book slump at last! Read 'Say you Swear' which took me a while to get into and was a bit too long-winded for my liking but hooked me enough to want to get to the end. And powered through 'The Catch' (the new one by Amy Lea) which I just loved- it reminded me a bit of the Tessa Bailey series about fishermen.

Finished this family by Kate sawyer - quite a slow burn, and flicked a lot between the past and present which was sometimes confusing as it was different timelines depending on which character was narrating but I enjoyed it

if you like a family drama I’d def recommend

As is The Best Way to Bury Your Husband which I believe has been discussed recently here too?

I used an audible credit for Green Dot a few weeks back 🙄
This usually happens to me. I used a credit for Seventeen and then it went in the £2.99 sale.

Ive got 5 credits to use so I need to try use them to cancel.

Thought this was worth a mention. Signed up for BookBeat last night. They are doing a free trial 40hrs free for 60 days then this is their standard plan. I’m going to see how the free trial goes, see what books are available before signing up.

After flying through the TOG series I found everything else a bit of a slog. Really struggled with Penance by Eliza Clark and The End of Men by Christina Sweeney-Baird.

However, I started Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult and I can't put it down. I'm just over half way. Any other recommendations by her? I know she's written loads so I don't know where to start 😅

Love Jodi. I have reread My Sister's Keeper. The film of it is awful.

The Storyteller is probably my all time favourite.

A Spark of Light is worth a mention.

Salem Falls is probably my all time favourite.

As you can see from cill2019 and her recommendations which are different to mine you really cannot go wrong with a Jodi book.

I’m 80% through, will spoiler just in case:

I can see why Hera grates on people but Arthur is the real villain for me 😂 I feel so sorry for poor Kate. I’ve got the actual rage about him taking his new baby to see Hera. I would fully get stabby with a knife if I was her and he was my head husband after struggling with infertility.
I finished the book. Yes to everything you said!

Yes! I read it last month and loved it so much. Its a sad story given the topic but I loved how the narrative took us on the journey.

Just finished I Found You and I’m not entirely sure what I think of it 😕 a whole lot of people jumping head first into things without thinking 🤦🏻‍♀️
 
Following on with the ACOTAR adaptation chat, it’s been a few years since Hulu bought the rights so it could all be up in the air again. There’s been no news for several years now (I frequent the Reddit thread too😆) I think the budget would need to be astronomical for it to be done well, but surely it would be popular. It’s one of the best selling book series in recent years!

the ONLY good recent news regarding the series is SJM was spotted having a coffee with Margot Robbie! If Margot was a secret Rhys stan and produced it, it would be great!

after a 5 star read i’m fighting for my life reading this could be everything by eva rice. i remember really liking the loss art of keeping secrets but god i’m finding this dull. and she really really wants you to know that it’s set in the 90s too.

also really not into how the lead character’s grief induced agoraphobia is resolved about 80 pages in by an encounter with a cute boy
