Yes, I read that on GR. There are people who favour his style, so it's a good thing for them. But I don't feel motivated to read romance as it is, and this was an added problem.

I thought it was a her😲

Anyway I dont really understand whats so difficult about using speech marks or why use this kind of style. Whats the benefit for the reader? And why would someone wanna get used to it?

I didn't know about this book but now I'm intrigued by it.

I hate self help books 🥱

It was one of my fav books but its very sad and emotional.

Why do you hate self help books? Some of them are quite informative😆

Thanks for your wishes girls, doing much better now.


Bookclub or not we can always post here about our reads and maybe at any point if people join in, we can always restart it. There is always the option of having a book pick every two months as well in the future.

We can hope that everything is fine at Shanam’s end and she gets back here soon.

How many books have you read this far? Have any of you completed your GR reading challange?

My initial challange was set for 10 books this year, later increased to 15. I've read 39 books this far. It's not a lot but its the best reading year I've ever had. Although I've only read shorter books, I've read many (by my standard) and also come across some good ones.


I’ve read 45 or so, but that also includes audiobooks. My goal for the last couple of years has been 52 books. Last year I read over 60 books but for next year I’m going to bring down my goal so I can read chunkers without focusing on meeting my target or not.

Sally Rooney is a her only 😆 She is in her early 30s or so.

Yes, it is a her. Sorry, I wrote 'his' by mistake.😆


I don't know but I noticed this in another book I tried reading this week. A classic - The Book Thief.

I'll add it to my tbr and hope that it gets it turn someday soon😆


I find them terribly boring, is all. I'd rather read academic books that makes me think.

Since I haven’t managed to read either of the books this month, I don’t have a review to post.
