PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments I was hoping to find an answer to What Are Mondays Good For, Anyway?, not being a fan of Mondays, and while I enjoyed the illustrations, I don't think I'd have been happy sending my kids to school with these suggestions.

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments Doris Lessing showed in 1963 that it wasn't possible for even A Woman on a Roof to escape unwanted attention. I'm not sure things have changed that much in 50 years, have they?

Rachel (mimbza) | 697 comments The Flatshare (The Flatshare, #1) by Beth O'Leary The Flatshare is a fun rom-com by English author
Beth O'Leary. Quirky Londoner Tiffy is desperate to find a new flat and lovable palliative care nurse Leon offers her an affordable solution when he rents out his flat and bed to her to use while he’s working nightshift. Their friendship grows gradually through a series of post-it notes since they are never actually in the flat at the same time. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments A classic that I somehow missed! A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle has everything I'd have loved as a young reader: kids on a quest, a mysterious missing father, magic spirits, time travel, and Evil to be overcome! I still enjoyed it now.
