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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: Beach Read, The Push, and Good Company
Books! And it’s like, prime time reading season. What is it about summer that has people all psychotically shoving paperbacks and e-readers and hardcovers and tablets in their faces? It’s the best. Alright, so these three chosen books are pretty different from each other. One is an easy breezy read, one is D A R […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRRRReh! Deh! Don’t we feel like Swift’s gonna release another Long Pond Studio Sesh Thingy on Disney + any day now? But with Evermore? I feel like it’s coming. Don’t you feel like it’s coming? It’s coming, I can feel it. Because she keeps releasing all these little EPs every few days, and I JUST […]
Friday Flotsam
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAArudeelaadooday. What do we think about, “I love me some ____.”? Like when people say the words “love me some” in relation to things in this world and life. I find myself actually saying that phrase from time to time, and then I cringe and think, “I can’t be someone who says that phrase”. And […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty, The One, and The Nightingale
BEWKS, Y’ALL. (<–I’ve already made you insane.) Welcome to another official book club blog post! It’s been a minute. Things look a little, um, different since my last book post. Well, I figured that instead of food, this might be a nice distraction amidst such a jittery time. Unless you’re reading The Nightingale then it’s […]
