Currently Reading-
I Am I Am I Am by Maggie O’Farrell
I am not very far in to this memoir, but I have enjoyed what I have read! I have seen a lot of good reviews for this book lately, and one of my favourite booktubers (Savidge Reads) read it in one day and loved it! That made me even more excited to dive in to it.
Thank you to Penguin Random House Canada for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review
Just Finished-
The Dinner by Herman Koch
This was my first audiobook and I enjoyed the experience of listening to an audiobook and the narrator was excellent, unfortunately I was not a huge fan of the story itself. I hated all of the characters- there was absolutely nothing redeemable about them. The story had potential but something about it just didn’t click with me.
The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
It took me awhile to get in to The Immortalist, but once I did – wow! This book was really good! This is one of those books that plays with your emotions and tears at your heartstrings. I love the elements of ‘magic’ and how the story spans over decades. I also appreciate a story that is focused on family. I had a few issues with one character making decisions that didn’t seem like them. I will talk about that more in my review!

Reading Next–
The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo
I saw this book for a really good price at Costco and remembered that it was Reese Witherspoon’s newest book club pick! I actually trust her recommendations, and this book sounds interesting. I have been enjoying adult contemporary/romance lately so this is perfect.
Have you read any of these books? What did you think?
So many books I want to read! I’ve been looking at the The Immortalists for some time now and need to get to it. Can’t wait and I’m glad you liked it so much. Happy Valentine’s Day! <3
Happy Valentine’s Day!! The Immortalists is excellent. I can not wait to hear your thoughts on it!
I haven’t read any of these Kristin. I just finished Heartbreak fo Hire by tabatha Vargo. Happy Valentine Day!
I will have to check that one out! Happy Valentine’s Day!
YES yes yes – to the Light we Lost!! Such a page turner, one that I stayed up way too long into the night to finish – hope you like (perfect for Valentine’s Day!)
Ohhh that is really good to hear! I haven’t heard too much about it!
Here’s my WWW post

Happy Reading 🙂
Thank you!

Funnily enough I watched a video today where Simon (Savidge Reads) talks about The Immortalists. It sounds like it would be really interesting! Looking forward to your review.
Isn’t Simon so sweet? It was really interesting!
My goodness, The Immortalists was a heart wreck! I love that book so much.
It so was! Even though you have an idea of what is coming it still punches you in the gut!
I felt the exact same way about The Dinner. Such a bummer!
Here is my post for today: https://katelynpdickinson.wordpress.com/2018/02/14/www-wednesday-2-14-18/
I thought I was going to enjoy it but was disappointed!
I loved The Immortalists too! I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying I am I am I am. I hope to get to that one eventually.
The Immortalists was beautiful! I Am I Am I Am is fascinating so far!
