hi!! i’m looking for some uplifting , maybe cozy books that will help you feel better when you just feel meh:/ any genre is welcome<3

Just started this book as an audiobook and I love it so far! I love the cozy atmosphere, the quirky, sleepy Bailyville, and the characters. I admire Alice's courage and its intersting to see her struggling to escape her boring married life. So far, Bennet seems like a pretty bad husband; he has zero interest in Alice. I wonder if he's gay or having an affair. Why else would he always stay away from Alice? Bennet's father really gets on my nerves, but he is written in a sympathic way. I can laugh at his strange behavior when they are eating! I love Margery, and I like how vividly the author describes nature. The suspicious mountain inhabitants are authentic and fun to read about. You really feel like you're in Kentucky. Jojo Moyes doesn't disappoint! :)

technically speaking, i’ve only read 36 actual books and the rest are just manga volumes, does that count?

in my head, mangas aren’t technically books. i mean they are art, that’s not where im getting at, it’s just not the same type of art as actual novels. the same way you see movies and tv shows separate from broadways and novels. they’re all arts, just different forms.

so does that make adding mangas in my reading goal as cheating? i did it so i can track what’s the last volume i read and where i need to pick it back up from. but i gotta admit, it does make me feel accomplished that i read 100+ books even though they’re just manga volumes. i can get through 3-4 volumes in a day easily, on top of my regular reading.

I've read 110 books this year because I was previously unemployed.

My unemployment has ended!🥳

And I'm too exhausted to read most days. I'll be lucky to get through a book a week🙃

I'm sad, but it's okay. I like my job. I work with really cool people. My bosses are actually decent people. I can get back on my feet because of this. And if it means I can't read as much, that's okay. The trade off is worth it.

I've seen quite a few posts lamenting that others can read so much, feeling defective because they can't. So I want to make visible the transition from one state of being to the other. I'm still going to read as many books as I can. And if it's not as many as before, that's okay. If I only read one book a year, I'm still a reader. It still counts ❤️

You can't just go around murdering people. There are rules Nimona.

I love that this seems to be a direct continuation 😁

as a physics undergrad this was so fun to read it all felt so familiar to me me!!! i think its my favorite so far

This book is so funny??? I’m ledgit laughing out loud???
