This is a catch up post, but includes all eight books I read in July 2021. 4 stars: Perfect Timing, by Owen Nicholls: This was a really interesting and long drawn out love story. Tom and Jess have a meet cute, but the timing isn’t right, and they continue getting the timing wrong for years. It’s really interesting to see how their paths keep crossing, and they keep miscommunicating. This wasn’t a light read, so not your typical rom com, but I still really enjoyed it – it actually felt a bit more believable because it wasn’t so saccharine. I …

Friday was my company’s annual promotion day, where all the promotions for the year are announced, and we celebrate. This year, we were still obviously not doing an in-person celebration, but our local office arranged for a magician to perform on Zoom (and he was phenomenal, – I wasn’t expecting much over Zoom, but it was awesome!), and the national organization arranged for Keith Urban to perform. I haven’t really listened to much Keith Urban in a while, but I got really into it, singing and dancing in front of my laptop screen 🙂 Now I want to go to a …

This is a catch up post, but includes all six books I read in June 2021. 4 stars: Ghosts, by Dolly Alderton: I really enjoyed this book, which had a lot of smart insights about relationships and life. Nina is a successful food writer in her 30s, who is also single – but it seems like things are on the upswing when she meets Max and on their first date, he declares he’s going to marry her. But then he suddenly and inexplicably ghosts her right after they both say “I love you.” The book as a whole explores how …
