Sounds like a good reading week!

I absolutely loved How to Keep House While Drowning and recommend it often. I initially went into it thinking that it would be yet another decluttering book with the same tips and tricks, but I was pleasantly surprised. And The Snow Child was excellent, too. Glad they've been good ones for you, too.

Loved how to keep house while drowning

How to keep house while drowning sounds like it would be a helpful book for lots of people. Hope you're keeping well!

I loved Snow Child! I can totally see re-reading it. The cleaning book sounds great too.

Hi Kim, how to keep house while drowning sounds really important for people under the stress of mental illness. I wish it was available when I was Recovering from a mental breakdown after my fourth child was born. Everything was so difficult. Thank you for all the interesting book recommendations. Aloha friend.

Look at all the reading you accomplished! 🎉🎉

what an amazing reading week Mrs Kim! thanx for the vid

Thank you for allowing me to use Mental health may to discard a book that I have been “reading” for a year. I’m (was) at 70% (it only had 160 pages) but it has been driving me mad. It was just sitting there in the back of my mind saying “read me, read me , just read the last 30% already ” . So for my insanity I’ve erased it from my Kindle and good reads.😂 I loved Will and Testament , unraveling how the disintegration of a family came to be. So good. You mentioned the novel getting repetitive…I actually found that that was really well and intentionally done, and I felt the frustration of the characters as they were going through groundhog Day .was symbolic of how the same trauma, questions, disbelief etc kept playing over and over in the characters lives as they tried to come to terms with what was happening. The author’s other book, “Is Mother Dead” is excellent too.

I listened to How to Keep House While Drowning last year and recommended it to everyone. The audio is fabulous and it’s such a wonderful book. ❤

Love your glasses!

Will and Testament sounds a bit like A Thousand Acres.

I love Miriam Margolyes, she is such a great actress and so funny! Looking forward to Faces Kim!

How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis is a good book and has been invaluable for me.

I rather enjoyed The Connellys of County Down. I completely agree that there are some things that are rather unrealistic but I think at the time I read it I wanted something that wrapped up a little neater even if it wasn't really realistic

My fellow residents at RM love Debbie Macomber. I'll check in the a.m. to see if we already have this one.

Hi Kim, it's a reminder, I'm due for a reread of LOTR soon I think as my mammoth 2025, too much on my 2024 TBR. Go well.

Hi Kim! I read somewhere that having a vacation planned (with books! 😆) is good for mental health! Happy to report that’ll be visiting your home state beginning of August! Mainly the White Mountains and Hampton Beach and I’m very excited! 🎉 It’s going to be my first time and I didn’t realized that Mt Washington is less than a 6 hours drive from where I live. Any good recommendations for what not to miss in NH? 🤓
