Fantastic Book Deals for a February Weekend
Happy Saturday!
We’re in Costa Rica this week for our annual Winter Escape trip (when we moved to Utah and went back to real winters, we committed to going somewhere warm every winter!).
I’ve been re-reading the Emma M Lion series which is a total delight – I had WAY too much to say about this series on Instagram!
AND do not miss this chance to get a free audiobook from LibroFM – all the details here https://www.instagram.com/p/DFsuM0ATK5w
Here are some other book deals going on right now!
Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention–and How to Think Deeply Again by Johann Hari
I was absolutely blown away after reading this one and couldn’t stop talking about it to anyone who would listen. This non-fiction book explores the ways that we are losing our ability to focus, both as adults and as children. And in turn, that affects how we act, make decisions, interact with others and so much more. It gives some advice on how to reclaim your focus and attention and I loved every minute of it!
Slow Dance by Rainbow Rowell
This was one of my favorite reads of 2024! I REALLY love Rainbow Rowell and this one absolutely worked for me. Her books generally aren’t fast paced but they are so richly told with great character development and swoony romance and this one was one where I had to keep stopping to just soak it all in. I blew through the audiobook in a day or two and I wish it had been twice as long!
How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang
This is her romance debut novel about a screenwriter and a YA author who begin working together to turn her wildly popular book series into a TV show. Of course sparks fly (and at first, not in a good way). It gave me some Romantic Comedy vibes and loved the balance of humor and heavy topics. Forewarning: it is spicier than Emily Henry! (30 second book review here)
Miss Newbury’s List by Megan Walker
I read her first book and this one has been on my TBR list – I can’t say no to a regency romance! It’s the story about a woman preparing for her marriage to a virtual stranger and the list of things she wants to do before her wedding day.
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
This book has been on EVERY bestseller list and it was also the April book for the 2020 Everyday Reading Book Club. It took me a little bit to get into the audio, but then it’s really started to pick up and I found myself looking for spare minutes to listen to it.
At Home in the World: Reflections on Belonging While Wandering the Globe by Tsh Oxenreider
The first thing I have to say about At Home in the World is that I don’t usually like travel memoirs. The second thing I have to say about At Home in the World is that I LOVED it. Read the full review here.
Book Lovers by Emily Henry
Nora is a cutthroat literary agent in New York City. When her little sister Libby begs her for a girls’ trip to which Nora grudgingly agrees and they find themselves in the small town of Sunshine Falls, North Carolina. It isn’t the laid back trip she thinks it will be because she keeps running into the handsome, but unpleasant Charlie Lastra, a brooding book editor she knows from back in New York. Their repeated encounters go from unpleasant to something a little. . . more pleasant. (When I asked for recommendations of books with great banter, this was 100% the most recommend. Note that there are a couple of open door scenes, so skip this one if those aren’t for you!).
