Let’s go to the bookies! (that was supposed to sound like “let’s go to the movies” but didn’t quite work.) Ohhhhhh, you guys. These three. These three books. Man oh man. Geez, Louise. Good golly, Miss Molly. Hold me, Rhonda. Help me, Susan. Stop it, Sally. I can chill. All three vastly different, but equally […]

Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: Hello Beautiful, The Plot and Garden Spells
Time for an overdue (haha) book chat! Three in total, each wildly different yet unbelievable must-reads in their own way. Each non-put-downable, gripping, horribly sad and energizing. Y’all ready for dis DUN DUN . . .dun dun dun dun dun DUN DUN… sorry. Hello Beautiful– OMG. You know those books that span the decades, that […]
2023 in Books!
Why yes I’m using the same photo from last year AND the year before but we’re unbothered by it. (my new word for 2024, but we’ll get back to that tomorrow.) Books! Let’s discuss. I read a total of 30 books in 2023. Which isn’t record-setting or anything. Matter of fact it’s significantly less than […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: The Husband’s Secret, Five Star Weekend and Mad Honey
(in da) Book Cluuuuuuub! (<–I get excited.) It’s been a minute since we’ve gabbed about books. It’s more than time. Past time. We’re talking about three recent favorites today. I can’t stop thinking about these books. And for different reasons. If you’ve read them, you will unabashedly agree. At least I think so. Hey, maybe […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: Happy and You Know It, Not a Happy Family, and The Family Remains
I truly didn’t intend to pick three books with like, all the same words in them. Happy Happy Family Family! Never mind. I’m not zipping through books quite at the blistering pace I was back in 2020 (hi, Covid), but so far I’ve read ten books this year. Woo hoo! And while I’ll always have […]
2022 in Books!
YES I’m using the same photo as last year because I still really like it and had zero time to get creative. Ha! Don’t hate it. Booooks! These are some of my favorite posts to write and share and post and publish and share and do and write. You book lovers come out in droves, […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: Twenty Years Later, Lessons in Chemistry, and The It Girl
BEWKS! (<–who else in this group wants to flush that down the toilet?) So, my reading pace this year isn’t what it uhhhh, used to be. Listen to this, I had my GoodReads reading challenge goal set at 40 books this year. Ten less than last year, just knowing that the rhythm of (the night?) […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: The Maid, What Alice Forgot, and The Hotel Nantucket
I want to make the (in da) book club joke so badly right but I’ve done it thrice times thrice already and I like what we have going on here. Let’s talk about some books today! Funnily enough I chose two about hotel life, and one about memory. The memory part’s not the funny part, […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: We Were Never Here, Last Summer at the Golden Hotel, and The Language of Flowers
(In da) book cluuuuuuub! Yes I say this every time, JUST LET ME HAVE THIS ONE THING. Alright, two things: Ignore my scratched glasses. It’s my own fault. These books! UGH. Raise your hand if you’ve heard of and/or read these three books. Higher, I can’t see them. Just kidding. Going back through my Goodreads […]
2021 In Books!
We’re back! I’m back! You’re back! Back back back! Let’s talk about book book books! (ha) Fifty. Fifty novels. I made my goal in the NICK of time on December 31st at 11am. (Not pm, you know I’m a snooze parade by 9.) Without a doubt, 2021 was a spectacular year of reads. Some better […]
