Always lovey to see your book tube latest. The pink sweater is 👌🏻

Inferno now on my TBR - thanks!

[sorenkrane]

Inferno sounds fascinating. I'll have to put on my tbr for much later since I just had my own first child this year. Between the sleep deprivation and surges of unfamiliar hormones, I felt like I was losing my mind. It's still rather raw.

I’m the same on China Room and Summerwater 😊

Thanks for talking about the Sarah Moss book. It ended up on my TBR but I don’t ever choose it or even consider choosing it. Off the list!!

[InfiniteText]

my silly mind blended your title together and read: I love 3 dudes

[jenntendosystem]

So sorry this took me so long to watch this! I want to read Inferno so much!

[SpringboardThought]

I’ve not tried Sarah Moss before, but the samey character melody is not my tune. I’m waiting on China Room at the library, so I’m glad to hear it’s gooood.

I’m watching this video very very late (clearing out my watch later) but YES to your thoughts on Summer water. So bland and boring and I remembered nothing about it the moment I finished reading

"Nothing matters, just eat the cake!" LOL. So happy to to see

I'm glad to hear that you're done with Sarah Moss. Because every time I hear you talk about her books it's been an unpleasant experience and yet you've read like 4 of her books now haha. Time to move on :)

RE: Inferno ... I'm curious about your approach to motherhood books, in general. Do you gravitate towards them? Do you not typically read them? Or somewhere in between?

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed China Room! I got in my Book of the Month box because the synopsis sounded interesting, and I'd read another book by the author that I'd liked but not loved, but thought it showed promise. But then the reviews for China Room on Goodreads are, um, not good. So I was feeling a little dismayed about reading it, but now you've got me interested again!
