1 day ago by bookclubchat Happy weekend, bookish friends! What are you currently reading? Next up for me is The Dinner List by Rebecca Serle. I’ve been wanting to read this for a while so I’m very excited to dive into it this weekend! It explores the question: name five people, living or dead, that you would like to have dinner with? Here’s the synopsis:⁣ ⁣ When Sabrina arrives at her thirtieth birthday dinner she finds at the table not just her best friend, but also three significant people from her past, and well, Audrey Hepburn. As the appetizers are served, wine poured, and dinner…

5 days ago by bookclubchat Hope your week is getting off to a great start! I’m so excited to participate in my first-ever buddy read with my book pal @reallyintothis ! ❤️ We’re reading Forks, Knives, and Spoons by @leah .decesare Here’s the synopsis:⁣ ⁣ For readers who love Adriana Trigiani, Jennifer Weiner and Liane Moriarty, Forks, Knives, and Spoons is a light-hearted, thought-provoking coming of age story that takes readers on a nostalgic journey back to the 1980s and 1990s. Romantic, witty and warm.⁣ ⁣ There are three kinds of guys: forks, knives, and spoons. That is the final lesson that Amy York’s father sends her…

1 week ago by bookclubchat Happy Friday!! Lots of work calls for me today so the day is flying by! Anyway, I finished A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult the other night, and wow, an intense but well-done book. This is a vivid story about sacrifice, pain and love. While she’s a master at crafting stories, this is not an easy read but it’s an important one.⁣✨ ⁣ Picoult is known for taking topics from the headlines and turning them into thoughtful, fiction novels. A Spark of Light tackles an important subject: women’s reproductive rights and examines it from very different perspectives. The story…
1 week ago by bookclubchat Next up for me is A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult. It’s been a long time since I’ve read one of her books so I’m eager to dive into this one, which is about ordinary lives that intersect during a heart-stopping crisis.⁣ ⁣ Jodi came to Phoenix on her book tour and I went to her author event. It was interesting hearing how Jodi approaches the subject matter she covers and how she makes sure to interview people with all different kinds of viewpoints and perspectives. Sometimes fiction serves as pure escapism and other times, it puts into context…

Thank you so much to @getredpr for the ARCs of The Beautiful Strangers by @camilledemaio and In Another Time by @jilliancantor ! Both are historical fiction novels with a March 5, 2019 release date. ⁣ The Beautiful Strangers both explores and celebrates the fragility of life across two centuries. Set in California’s legendary Hotel del Coronado, the historic landmark becomes a haven where dreams, love, old Hollywood and a beguiling mystery come alive.⁣ ⁣ In Another Time is a sweeping historical novel that spans…
2 weeks ago by bookclubchat Happy first day of November!!! I’ve been sitting on some NetGalley ARC reads for far too long so I’m starting off the month with Watching You by Lisa Jewell, a suspenseful page-turner about a shocking murder in a picturesque and well-to-do English town. ⁣ ⁣ Here’s the synopsis:⁣ ⁣ Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England; home to doctors and lawyers and old-money academics. It’s not the sort of place where people are brutally murdered in their own kitchens. But it is the sort of place where everyone has a secret. And everyone is watching you.⁣…
