1:11:31 Chapter 3: How to Thrive - Honestly it's a bit boring but there are some interesting titbits. Mostly it's just repetitive love yourself, so you can love others well.

10:05:35 Author and Narrator Conversation - Just finished the book but I'm going to eat lunch before I tackle this conversation which I want to have in my mind before finishing my review. So far I'm leaning toward 4 stars, maybe 3¾.

1:49:44 Chapter 12 PJ Then - Well this quickly picked up. Unfortunately, I need to sleep or I would burn the midnight oil with this story.

PAIGE - I'm only stopping because I have to get ready but it feels like there's a plot hole here. Someone was recording, but now you're alone, I'm so confused.

PAIGE - Okay, I finally got the plot, it's okay. I think the topics are carrying the story and I don't like how closed off Paige is.

4:25:49 Chapter 20 - This book is not at all what I expected but I am glad I picked it up. I am getting a little frustrated with everyone biting their tongue.

34:12 Chapter 3 Poppy Jade Then - It took me almost 5 hours to get to this point in the story so it could be me but it's a bit slow. I'm going to finish my ebook, start my other audiobook and double back later. I have the plot but I'm not sold yet.

MIA - I'm not sure where this is going but I have a very slight idea.

7:00:15 1991 - This is pretty good, the going backward part makes it pretty unique.

2:05:24 [<13m] 2013 - [Chapter] 2 [68m>] - This feels like an early 80s drama but it's interesting. I'm going to wait it out.

Page 91 of of 333 PAIGE - This book is a bit unhappy, tomorrow I'll have to find something to balance my book emotions with.

1:52:06 2013 - This story is a bit dry for a Swanson novel, but as a literary fiction it's great. If this is a domestic thriller it feels like a classic and is moving towards Suspense I'm thinking slow burn.

Page 56 of 283 Chapter Six - This is as good as the previous books, but I'm gonna roll with it and see where it goes.

Page 34 of 194 CHAPTER 6 - It's cute and warm I can see why Hallmark picked it up. It could be a single-sitting read, but family time calls.

8:40:27 Chapter 30: Ryan - Now I really am going to bed. I was woken up and couldn't sleep but the emotional turmoil of this story has me sleepy again. This story is fantastic. I hate to break this close to the end.

5:57:14 Bookfriends: July 21, 9:01 PM - This story is great I almost made it, but I need to sleep. I'm excited for tomorrow so I can finish. I see myself in parts of each character. This is a romance for bibliophiles.

6:09:04 Chapter 33 - OK only when a few seconds into the next chapter I stopped myself. This story was too good to be true but the last few chapters have slowed down tremendously so I'm thinking we're coming up to a lull. Meanwhile, I have so many questions like, is the MC connected or something, what's up with all these flashbacks? This is going to be interesting I feel like I'm in a modern-day Agatha Christie nove

4:32:21 Iris - This is super cute, but I hope this house splits up, as sweet as it is I see some red flags. I have 3 guesses as to who the Socialite is.

2:46:27 Juniper Shores Socialite - There's a LI named Elliott and my last book had a LI named Elliott. Anyway, I love this book. I'm going to be struggling to finish Sweet Magnolias Book #4 before this one, it's so good! It was so hard to stop here the Socialite is like the desert part of this lineup. I'm saving it for the start of my next session.

Page 23 of 395 Chapter Two - I should have known it would be Magnolia's inductee Jeanette's turn. I wasn't expecting two Grinches. The ages of the little ones are off but I'm going to ignore it.

2:50:42 Chapter 18 - It seems like no matter how many reminders I give myself as I get close, whether I use my eyes or ears, I always seem to read one extra chapter. So far this is very good. I'm going to wait a couple of days to continue so my mind can be fresh on Saturday.

49:24 Chapter 2 - I am going to have to think about it period so far I'm not feeling this I don't like the way they keep jumping over everything.

Chapter Twenty-One - Hahaha! That's what you get girl! The timeline in this book is crazy, it's inconsistent. 4 weeks pregnant, and expecting a baby to arrive in a few months, it's fall, no it's spring no, it's fall again.

Chapter Seventeen - I was guessing an accidental pregnancy but that's too good for shady Helen. I'm stopping because it's after 1 and I'm busted. I could have easily stayed up all night with this one.

Chapter Ten - I spoke too soon, and the recent development with Karen's family makes no sense, I get a week a few weeks thos is definitely fiction.

Page 86 of 396 Chapter Six - It's nice to see a softer side of Helen. I'm just waiting to see if there is going to be an accidental pregnancy at this point.
