However, I'll also include an additional six books for those of you who will have no problem smashing through 12 books in one year. As a chronic migraine sufferer, I ...

I actually finished this book over a month ago and I actually finished this book over a month ago and it still haunts me. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s definitely not a book for the faint hearted and I found I could only read about 100 pages at a time (it’s 700+ pages) before I’d need a break.⁣
⁣⁣
I wasn’t sure if I was even going to make it to the end but I quickly became invested in the characters and was glad that I did because even though this is an incredibly sad and heartbreaking story, it’s also a story of extraordinary friendships and love.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣⁣⁣⁣.5⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“A Little Life is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits of human endurance.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome - but that will define his life forever.”⁣⁣

I always worry that when I read the second book in I always worry that when I read the second book in a series that I’m not going to enjoy it as much as the first but boy was I wrong with this one. ⁣
⁣
This book is bloody fabulous and I actually think I loved it more than I loved “Beartown” (which was fantastic!!! - see my post last month).⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This beautifully written story has it all; strength, love, family, grief, loyalty, courage and loss. ⁣
⁣
You’ve done it again @backmansk and I cannot wait to read the next one #impatientlywaiting ⁣
⁣⁣⁣
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣⁣⁣⁣⭐️⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
“Can a broken town survive a second tragedy?⁣
⁣
By the time the last goal is scored, someone in Beartown will be dead . . .⁣
⁣
Us Against You is the story of two towns, two teams and what it means to believe in something bigger than yourself. It's about how people come together - sometimes in anger, often in sorrow, but also through love. And how, when we stand together, we can bring a town back to life.”⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

The easiest (& yummiest) brownies I’ve ever made The easiest (& yummiest) brownies I’ve ever made 🍫👩🏻‍🍳⁣
⁣
Can’t take all the credit for these though, as I bought a DIY brownie kit from the @greatoceanrdchocolaterie⁣
⁣
This one is the Triple Choc with Salted Caramel Macadamia 🤤⁣
⁣
Less than 5 minutes to prepare and only needed to add eggs and butter. Everything else comes in the kit.⁣
