I’m in the biggest funk with reading. I’m not finding anything to hold my interest and even upcoming titles aren’t exciting me like usual. I’m sure part of it is stress/holiday stuff, but I miss being able to escape. Same with watching stuff. Usually I can find something, a tv show or movie, to fill that gap until I come out of it, but I can’t find anything to hold my interest there either. Bah humbug. lol.
And I feel like my “reading” is finally coming back. I just finished Carrie Soto is back, and it was fantastic. I don’t even know how I can review it because it’s full on, constant tennis (every game, her practices, the techniques, the other players, the rules, the tricks… ) but for some reason, I LOVED IT. I was hooked. I don’t even really like tennis or follow it… but I was addicted to this book.
How do I explain it’s 100% tennis (but with sweet family dynamics and we’re in the head of an ornery, jaded, passionate main character the entire way), with a romance (yes… ) but definitely not the focus.
It’s got SO MUCH HEART!!!!!!!!! That’s why, despite it being tennis and all tennis, the characters were some of the best characters I’ve ever read. The competition, the anger, the intensity, the unlikely friendships forged… GAH it was AMAZING!!!!
Taylor Jenkins Reid is one talented writer. She’s just incredible.
This is the first time in a LONG time that I actually miss a character. Actually… 4 characters.
It also made me cry. LOVE IT.
Hmm, I did read a sample of Daisy Jones and the Six the other night and was actually into it, but didn’t want to commit to buying another book bc I’ve got SO many. I even (haha) googled if it was a real band after the sample. She is a pretty great author and every book of hers I’ve read, I’ve easily not wanted to put it down. I’ve heard great things about this book also. Tennis sure sounds like golf to me, but you kind of sell it here. Lol!
I tried reading Where the Crawdads Sing too bc I actually do have that one, but I don’t like it. And In a Holidaze, meh.
I couldn’t get into Crawdads either but I liked the movie! I recommend listening to Daisy Jones though! It’s audio for audio haters! An unbelievable production that I just don’t think you can replicate reading it.
Thanks for that! I’ve been putting it off because…tennis. I heard it makes up a huge part of the book.
I’ve been in a reading funk too. I went to psych thrillers for a while and now I’m going old school with old Jewel E Ann. But it’s mindless One Tree Hill that has my attention! It’s kind of ridiculous but addictive! I say “one more episode” like I used to say “one more chapter”! I also got my husband hooked on Emily in Paris somehow so I went back to the beginning to catch him up for season 3 that just came out.
Oh, Jewel E Ann! I forgot I really wanted to read that duet of hers, newer release. Another author I always get lost in. And I loved both of those shows. I don’t usually do re- watches though, with a couple exceptions. One Tree Hill was one of “my shows” back when it first came out, I got my Mom hooked on it too. I didn’t realize Emily in Paris season 3 was out already, I thought it was still upcoming.
It came out about a week ago! And I don’t usually do re-watches either but wanted to catch him up. The jokes are quick and I realized I missed a lot! The best part is that I have him jonesing to go back to Paris now.
Agreed! ME TOO on Jewel E. Ann, and Kate Stewart. And Also J.T. Geissinger. I need to catch up on their latests.
I think I’m in between psych-thrillers & women’s lit (or chick lit, I guess?) I’m liking these big stories right now.
