    Book Lovers was fine. Nora’s sharp humor and the banter between characters were fun, but overall it didn’t stand out. The story was pleasant but predictable, and nothing about it really stuck with me.

    Unpopular opinion: I didn’t enjoy the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. 🤐

    But.. I did like The Hobbit!So, I’m diving into the book. Plus, this edition includes the first chapter of The Fellowship of the Ring at the end… maybe it’ll even change my mind about LOTR. 😇

    So don't come for me yet! 😉

    Nicely written, it keeps you reading and really atmospheric; I liked the Cape Cod setting and the emotional depth. But it was also pretty heavy and slow at times, and I didn’t always connect with the characters. I liked it, just didn’t love it.

    I’ve reached part two and I’m still not sure if I like it. It’s interesting enough to keep me reading, but I’m also wondering where it’s going.
