She shares her key takeaways, the impact it's made, and why you need to read this book 🙌 So go check it out, and if you're reading along we'd love to hear from you! 👇 #booklymark ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #nonfiction #readersofinstagram #bookworm #readmorebooks #bibliophile #thebooklyclub #booklyclub #igreads #booklove #booklover #bookclub #bookphotography #booknerd #amreading #currentlyreading #bookreview #bryanstevenson
Happy pub day to @emilystjohnmandel's latest #TheGlassHotel from @aaknopf! It's a beauty.

Reorganizing some books in our bedroom... my husband put it best when he said, "I never used to think we had too many books, but this puts it in perspective." Not to mention the shelves of books we have upstairs 🙈 Oh well! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #readersofinstagram #bookworm #readmorebooks #bibliophile #thebooklyclub #igreads #booklove #booklover #bookclub #bookgroup #bookclublove #bookphotography #booknerd #bookhoarder
We're coming to the end of the month, which means a new read along for @thebooklyclub! First, mark your calendars for next Wednesday @ 7:30pm CST when @readwithkat and I go LIVE to chat all about The Giver of Stars. And then make sure to grab a copy of Just Mercy so you can read along with us next month #booklymark!

We decided to let you all in on a few of our secrets today ... this is a stack of all the books we'll be reading for @thebooklyclub's monthly read alongs in 2020 😱 Yup. These are the 10 books we're reading from now (#TheGiverofStars in Feb) all the way up through December! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Out of curiosity I took a poll a few weeks ago and a lot of you were interested in knowing all of our books in advance. Tempting. BUT some still like the surprise. So I'm splitting the difference and revealing just a few for now... our upcoming March, April, July and September selections just to give you a little taste of what's to come 😉 I'm very excited for all of these, especially #AnneofGreenGables which I've never read 🙈 See any you're excited to read along with us?!
I’m so lucky to have a husband and best friend who co-conspired to gift me this advanced copy! Ever since Station Eleven, I’ve been anxiously awaiting Mandel’s next novel. The Glass Hotel, coming out next month, centers around the rise and fall of a Madoff-esque ponzi scheme and the various characters whose lives weave and splinter throughout the book. Like in Station Eleven, Mandel plays so well with the time and perspective, breezing back and forth from past to present and character to character, patiently fitting the pieces together. And my favorite part of her writing are the subtle and mysterious bread crumbs she leaves for the reader as to the fate of the story, leaving you theorizing at the turn of every page. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although The Glass Hotel didn’t usurp Station Eleven for me, it was beautifully written. The characters were carefully realized. And it’s clear she did her research on Madoff for inspiration. But I found myself uninterested in the ponzi scheme premise which kept me from loving the story. She does make powerful statements about family, greed, complacency, loyalty, and worth. But all the while I just wanted the story to return to the atmospheric, eerie Hotel Caiette hidden on a wooded island off the coast of Vancouver. Her description of the island had me rapt, and I spent a majority of the book wanting to go back. HOWEVER, I urge you to read this one and decide for yourself. Either way, Mandel's writing makes for a beautiful ride! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
