I’m in a bit of a reading slump...I need something AMAZING to knock my socks off, completely captivate me and blow me away! Bonus points if there’s missing involved. Suggestions, friends? TIA! . . . . . . #bookstagram #bookslump #readingslump #bookphotography #booksandflowers #flowersandbooks #booknerd #lovebooks
A creepy house, family secrets, darkly atmospheric writing, and (my favorite) tarot cards made Ruth Ware’s latest a hit for me. If you’ve read it, what did you think? If not, is it on your list? . . . . . #bookstagram #ruthware #thedeathofmrswestway #suspense #tarotcards #gothicnovel #bookphotography #bibliophile #booknerd
I am a sucker for books about marriage—especially marriages that are no longer “new.” . . Hourglass is Dani Shapiro’s 2017 memoir exploring her 18-year marriage and the infinite, inexplicable ways life has changed since then, for both partners. I’ve been married for 16 years, so many of her thoughts and feelings resonate with me although she married at an age closer to my age now. I deeply understood her questions about the effect of the marriage on her husband, an almost-guilt as she wonders if his life might have been better without her. “Has being with me stopped him from being him?” . . This is a raw, honest exploration packed in a slim little book. I had to take breaks while reading it because the emotions became overwhelming. It’s intimate and heartbreaking and hopeful, too. If you’re a reader who enjoys memoirs, prose that is nearly poetry, and emotionally resonant writing about relationships, check this one out! . . . #hourglass #danishapiro #memoir #bookstagram #marriage #bookphotography #bookreview
It’s suspense time! Picked these two beauties up yesterday and I’m excited to dive in. I’ve read all the books both authors have written and so I’m pretty confident these will be solid! If you’ve read them, what did you think? If not, are they on your list? . . . . #suspense #summerreading #thedeathofmrswestaway #bringmeback #toread #tbr #bookstagram #flowersandbooks #bookphotography
Opinions please! Part way into this....the atmosphere is amazing and the writing is great but for some reason it’s not grabbing me. Probably my fault for being distracted by summertime activities and needing something lighter. Also my TBR is a gazillion miles long and calling my name. What say you, #bookstagram ? Press forward with this one or move on to something else? . . In general, are you a “finisher” of books or do you find yourself setting a book aside if it’s not grabbing you? . . . . #qotd #bookphotography #suspense #booknerd #tbr #bibliophile #summerreading #beachreads
📖 Book Review 📖 I have wanted to read this so I was thrilled to win a copy from @shihtzus.and.book.reviews ! Thank you! . . Little Big Love is a beautiful exploration of family, forgiveness, and the effects of secrets and dishonesty. . . We first meet Zac, the sweetest ten-year-old you can imagine. All he wants it to find his father, who left shortly after his birth. We then meet Juliet, his mother, and Mick, Juliet’s father, and discover that the secret behind the disappearance of Zac’s father has been carefully guarded for years. . . Told in first person with strong, unique voices for each character, we get DEEP into their minds. Juliet in particular is so neurotic you can’t help loving her—she’s truly a mess but she adores her son and tries so hard to be a good mother it’s almost physically painful to read. The story is slow-moving but comes to a satisfying, uplifting ending that brought tears to my eyes. 😢 . . Recommended if you like character-driven family dramas with imperfect characters. Let me know if you’ve read it or if it’s on your list! . . . #littlebiglove #julyreads #booknerd #bookstagram #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookreview
