Page 42 of 131 CHAPTER FIVE My only issue with this story is how the B&B went from being a beautiful house used by family and friends to a dilapidated fixer-upper in 2 months, that just wasn't needed, especially if all they were going to do was paint. What happened to the rot floorboards, and why weren't they rotten in July? It's feel-good cozy for sure. I'm only stopping to sleep. I'm very behind on it. Otherwise, t

… FUNDAMENTAL - 😂 I have one of these chocolate stories from the 80s when I was 4, but I learned what it was right away.

2:16:50 Chapter 9 - No, no, no! 😩 I really need to start reading blurbs. I don't like this plot at all.

Page 71 of 292 LUAU FROM HELL - His grandmother has the same name as my great-grandmother, and I wonder if her name is Mary, too. Anyway, this book is good, despite the tangents. I have the audiobook playing along, and I think this could be a movie. Although he hasn't used his TV voice yet, he's very animated. Oh, and that octopus story totally made me think of Remarkably Bright Creatures. I loved the Yes, Chef rant

1:46:57 Chapter 7 - I wasn't feeling this story early this morning but it's better now and I think I can go the distance if I do a little at a time. It has a slow build but it's good.

1:58:15 Chapter 10 - This is too teen for me but my son is enjoying it so I'm just along for the ride.

57:08 The Other Girls [Chapter] Three - This has made my brain hurt and it's boring. I feel like I missed a note from myself about the last book from this author, but I checked and it wasn’t there. So note to self: Literary Fiction, dry humor, remove all titles from your TBR no more from this author. I'm going to sleep on it [it's 0357] to me sure.

Found out this book is a sequel so I'm pausing it to read Book 1 first.

Page 21 of 376 CHAPTER TWO PATRICK - I could be in a bad mood from waking up just before midnight and leaving my bed to deal with an issue, but this book was too happy while I waited for everything to be resolved.

I'm gonna take a break this one so I can eat lunch and finish my reality shows it's pretty dull so far and it's almost over, but I can't wait any longer. The pages feel longer and the food is ready.

4:41:26 Chapter 19 - This story is officially boring and unfunny. Every time the story starts to pick up the plot changes and we start over which makes it quite stagnant, I'm not sure I can finish this one. It took over 7 months for me to start this story, if I stop it won't get a second chance.

4:47:15 Chapter 28 - I'm gonna let it go and enjoy the rest of the story, but 2 pushovers, really?

Page 83 of 256 CHAPTER FOUR Education - This book has so much good information I'm out of room for quotes. Probably one of the best books I've read on the topic and we're still at the beginning.

48:47 [four minutes into] Good night! The Time-Tested Sleep 3 - So it has taken a few tries because it's creepy in the opening, but now I'm just bored. I'm going to sleep.

2:22:40 Chapter 14 - This is okay, there are some plotholes, and it's not my favorite foundation; but at least we know the ending is happy.

[Chapter] 44 - Suspense or Stupidity, I can't decide but I'm on the edge of my seat. Unfortunately, I won't know until tomorrow.

[Chapter] 39 - Of course, we're not going to get that far on a Friday when video games are available. I'm hoping we can finish tonight or tomorrow, otherwise I'm continuing without him. This is a Disney story so we already know how it's going to end, 😁, the big question is whether or not a certain person gets to stay.

[Chapter] Twenty-Six - I never finish in time, there always seems to be a phone call or Facebook scroll that eats away at my time forcing me to stop with a few chapters left.

Page 91 of 261 - It's cute enough and sounds like it could be spicy.

Page 67 of 229 [23 pages into] Chapter 4 How Much Do I Really Owe? - (right at) Let’s Talk About All This So-Called “Good Debt”- This is so good and a fast read. It's like talking with a friend, the advice is solid, nothing new, but broken down well.
