"No one seems to understand that real loss never eases; we just become more adept at carrying a weight that settles deeper in our chests, smiling through it, pretending like we are totally fine whenever someone mentions them."

This book nailed it.

When I get to around 70 pages left in a book, it's like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I really can't wait to be done with this book. Not that it's bad, but the way it jumps around from the "now" to something that happened months or years ago without much context and then goes back to "now" is really frustrating.

"On the wall behind him, Jesus was hung up like a door knocker."

Now there's a description of a church I haven't heard before.

About 45 minutes later and I still have a pile of little paper strips to roll up and add to the glass. Making progress though.

Planning out how to decide what book I'll read next once I finish my alphabet challenge. I have x, y and z left. After those, I'll reach into this glass full of little rolled up pieces of paper, each with a book title on it. It's gonna be crazy how full of tiny scrolls this glass gets. I'll update once I'm done.

Sooooo the bookcase my boyfriend got me for Valentine's Day is full already. Oops? At least the books are out of the boxes I had them piled in.

Ok, I'm already hooked on this book. In the first chapter I find out the main character does search and rescue with her bloodhound named Greta to find missing kids. I'm sold.

Onto my next book! I've been trying to finish the A to Z challenge I started last year, and I've made it to V! I've never read a Jodi Picoult book, so here's hoping!

Discovered a new book store! This kid (I say kid because I could probably be his mother) started the business in 2021 and rents a warehouse space. Only opens monthly for sales and people FLOCK to it. So chaotic but fun to look for things for my growing library.
