I liked the midnight library. It’s about interesting idea and I thought the main character was relatable. There were some beautiful lines in it.

Addie la rue was really, really good. Loved it.


For a book about forgetting, reread of What alice Forgot. Love that one. My fav Liane Moriarty.

How did you find this book? I feel I had higher expectations since I really enjoy her YouTube content and it just didn't quite meet them. I've still ordered the sequel that's out later this year.

DH bought the book. I hadn't heard of her previously and haven't watched any of her content so I didn't have any expectations. I really liked it at the start. I liked the pace at which it unfolded and the story was interesting. I didn't love the ending and the direction it took, but will probably read the next one.

For something broken on the cover 

 

You belong here by Laurence Steed https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37415547

 

I am not sure what I thought about it. It was good. But not enjoyable. The characters were extremely human and not especially likeable. I’d like for them to be happy, but not out of any particular affection for them.

Anxious People by Frederick Backman for a lock room mystery. Initially, I wasn’t sure, wasn’t in the mood. It seemed a folly to read something about anxious people when everyone was feeling so damn anxious, but I really, really liked it in the end. Just like Britt-Marie, I will think of the characters and hope they are happy.
