I’m glad that you had a great reading month, and can escape into fictional worlds even for a few moments at a time. I find your experience with Lady Macbeth similar to my experience when I read Reid’s previous novel, A Study in Drowning. I agree with what you said about Lolita, ultimately it is an unforgettable classic despite disturbing themes and that Nabokov’s prose plays a large part in that. I have Mary & Pnin on my list next - it doesn’t even feel like it but apparently I read Lolita back in 2016!
So glad to hear you and your fam are okay! Thanks for your review of Lolita. After just reading a book that had a surprise twist that involved pedophilia, I'm not sure I could stomach it... I finally just read Summer Romance and really enjoyed it! It was a great palate cleanser after some heavier reads.
Kuleigh, I'm so glad to hear your family is safe! I'm sure it's been a whirlwind of a month. And I'm glad that books seemed to be a comfort for you. I'm excited for both the holiday reads you read and happy to see you enjoyed them!
So glad to hear you guys are okay and the hurricane is behind you. 💗
I've been seeing Pumpkin Spice Cafe everywhere and was almost tempted but I'm glad I read your review first! Think I'll just give it a pass. And your words on Lolita encapsulate why I want so badly to read it again but also NOT want to read it again.
So happy to hear that your family is safe!

So glad to hear that you and your family are all right! I don't read much holiday romance but I'm *very* intrigued by Most Wonderful.
What a month! I read Pumpkin Spice last year and had the same thoughts, glad to know I’m not alone as I keep seeing it eeeevvveeerrrywhere!
And I’m so glad you are all safe 🙏🙏
Glad your family is safe xx I've never been able to read Lolita, I know it's a classic but ehhh....
