I’m so close to finishing 2 books today.

The Ministry of Time -meh!

The Nightingale - love but very sad. This one is my kindle read at bedtime but I woke up earlier today and couldn’t get back to sleep as the Mr was snoring.

I’ve returned both. I never realised it was so easy, they don’t even ask for a reason 🤷🏼‍♀️

I might treat myself to Wonderland as it’s our book club read. I really wanted to read it but I’m not adding to my kindle, so this seems like a win win 😊

I’ve just collected the new Emily Henry, Great Big Beautiful Life from the library. Brand new book, hard back. I’ve just started The Great Alone and will have to whip through that this week so I can start this as I imagine it will be on hold for other readers!

Some of her books are good for a quick read but she doesn’t half churn them out! The last book of hers I read was The Teacher and I didn’t rate it at all.

I was reading So Lucky by Dawn O Porter but I gave up as I just found it boring.
I've tried with her fiction a few times but always DNF really early for the same reason.. I did read her lockdown/covid diaries which I mildly enjoyed. Don't find her funny as a person but thought it was quite relatable at times even if I don't have kids

I quite enjoyed The Cows but So Lucky I just could not get into.

I think it was Honeybee by Dawn O'Porter I read recently and didn't like it at all. I know it was written about young women in their early 20s but felt so childish.

It's put me off reading anything more by her.

I read and loved The Cows by Dawn O{Porter but all the other books of hers I’ve read I’ve either slogged through or given up. I used to like her and find her funny and relatable but I’ve really gone off her over the last few years.

I did!!!
I forgot the pre-sale was today so was surprised to see the email, thought arrgghhh I hadn’t decided, looked at them again... then checked out.

Go for it!!
Done it!! I'm ready to reimmerse myself in the world of Fitz and the Fool. I would have regretted not getting these, for sure.

Exactly my thinking, the regret fear was too high to delete the email and move on with my day lol

Reese Witherspoon has written a book with Harlan Coben
They are all at it. Writing books with prolific writers. At least it's very clear they aren't solo writing the book. Unlike all the ones that are ghostwritten and not made clear. Even if I don't think they write much more than an idea and some subject specific knowledge.

The one Dolly Parton did with James Patterson was turgid mediocre rit.

I don't mind this sort of gimmicks when they are open about it being "co written" with a real author. In the end, these sorts of books that people who don't buy books will buy because of the celeb attached to them often keep publishing houses afloat and let them pay for the actually good books by unknown authors. But it's also kind of an eye roll moment when I see celebs try to pretend like they always wanted to write a book.
