The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas follows Catalina and Aaron as they try to convince Catalina’s family into believing that their fake relationship is very much real at her sister’s wedding.

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren follows Olive and Ethan as they pretend to be a newlywed couple on a free honeymoon after Olive’s twin sister, Ami, and Ethan’s brother, Dane, get food poisoning at their wedding.

Both of these books are great reads for those who enjoy enemies to lovers romance books.

A couple things:

1) I would LOVE to know what the ladies think about the female representation in this book. I was always told girls are SUPER catty and shitty to each other, but I’m a dude so what do I know?

2) A letter from Macon, GA is how this novel closes out. As interesting as that is, it’s RIDDLED with spelling errors and that’s way more interesting. Slightly offensive. Really funny.

3) I remember hearing something about a play in football where everyone knows what’s going to happen but it works anyway.

That’s this book.

There’s no mystery here, but it doesn’t matter. He says Carrie is telekinetic in no time flat. He’ll tell you someone is going to die and at no point do you say “ugh! Spoilers!” Instead, you continue to read because now you need to know HOW it happens.

This occurs over and over again and it never goes poorly. I love it.

4) It’s implied that Sue Snell is pregnant before she hooks up with Carrie who initially thinks Snell was part of this. Then they have a moment where Carrie goes through Snell’s brain to see if she had any role in what happened at prom.

She didn’t, and, as Carrie died (spoiler alert), Sue starts her (late) period.

It seems to ME that this was a last-minute gift of sorts because Snell wasn’t really prepared for motherhood.

I know, I know. Some people wouldn’t consider abortions gifts, but you never know what people want and gifts are all about what THEY want, not about what YOU want to give, you know what I mean?

But I’m curious what you guys think.

On one hand, I could see it as bookends for the story - it starts and ends with periods - but I could see it as an act of mercy from Carrie as well. Maybe because Carrie wasn’t super stoked on her own existence at that point?

Let me know what you think.

Let’s talk about the #kindle for a minute.

When the Kindle first came out, I fell in love. I’m a huge book guy, but books are expensive, big, and heavy. For a guy that moves a lot, they could be a problem.

But here, I saw the solution. The prices could be way lower. Scarcity wouldn’t be a thing anymore. Textbooks could be cheaper and easier to navigate. You could keep a whole library on one device!

But it took until the Kindle3G for me to be able to afford one of these guys. Now I have a Paperwhite but, honestly, miss the 3G for the ability to shop anywhere and PHYSICAL BUTTONS!

The real disappointment was that the cost of books wasn’t that much lower and scarcity was still a thing. Old Marvel prose novels never (or at least hadn’t for years and I’ve given up on the idea) made it to the device.

Which is RIDICULOUS. If I were a publishing house, every single thing I published would be available. They left money on the table.

Anyway… King also seemed like a huge Kindle fan as his was one of the biggest voices used to push it and it seemed inevitable to me that he would write a story involving one.

It also deals with the Dark Tower.

The story is fine. It’s more a fun story about a Kindle and a chance for him to talk about authors - something he loves to do.

It’s fine. It’s an interesting story.

I wonder if King’s changed his mind on the Kindle. Besides bringing mine on flights and to donate plasma, I know I’ve gone back to physical books.

What are your thoughts on the Kindle?

As a young adult, there was this strange time where I got a job in a different town.

I moved into it alone and worked for about a week before I was able to drive back home and get my wife and our few belongings (starting a life together is a weird thing to think back on).

In that week, though, I had nothing in the house. I bought a TV because we didn’t have one (wasn’t able to get TV service until the first paycheck came in, though) and slept on the cardboard box it came in.

It was the summer in Georgia so daily thunderstorms would happen in the evening and I just sat there on the floor until it was time to sleep on the box.

But I did have this book so I was fine (more or less).

Besides the jive - which is cringe-inducing to an uncomfortable level - I love this book. I thought the pacing was really good and I loved the space between the doors.

I’ve read critiques that express distaste for King’s “boring,” parts like the space between doors or most of The Shining, but I think there’s purpose to it. The journey was supposed to be long and arduous and you don’t get that point across if you skip the space between the doors for the sake of a fast, exciting read. And, honestly, the story is better for it.

This book also introduced Eddie, who just might be my favorite King character of all time.

It was interesting re-reading this. I enjoyed it the first time (in the time between moving in and going to get my wife, I read books 2-4) but this time was better as my wife and I are together this time and I at least have a couch to sit on. ;-)

Solarpunks are individuals who believe in the Harmony between Humans and Nature.
If you look at the Solarpunk Manifest, you'll see that a lot of the ideas reflect the same
ideas that Jesus Christ had two thousand years ago.
Jesus fed the multitudes, and He healed the sick.
He wanted us to treat others as we wanted to be treated.
Read about the OG Solarpunk: Jesus Christ Solarpunk.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To all of you born in the month of June! June marks the summer solstice, typically occurring around June 20-21, which signifies the longest daylight hours of the year. The name "June" originates from the Latin word Junius, or Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth. In the U.S., June is celebrated as National Dairy Month, promoting all things dairy—milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. LET THE SUMMER BEGIN! #fyp, #Books4life, #Reader-club, #Meme #books, #solarpunk
