Something Like Happy

Summary: With wry wit and boundless heart, Eva Woods delivers an unforgettable tale of celebrating triumphs great and small, seizing the day, and always remembering to live in the moment.

“It’s simple, really. You’re just meant to do one thing every day that makes you happy. Could be little things. Could be big. In fact, we’re doing one right now…”

Annie Hebden is stuck. Stuck in her boring job, with her irritating roommate, in a life no thirty-five-year-old would want. But deep down, Annie is still mourning the terrible loss that tore a hole through the perfect existence she’d once taken for granted—and hiding away is safer than remembering what used to be. Until she meets the eccentric Polly Leonard.

Bright, bubbly, intrusive Polly is everything Annie doesn’t want in a friend. But Polly is determined to finally wake Annie up to life. Because if recent events have taught Polly anything, it’s that your time is too short to waste a single day—which is why she wants Annie to join her on a mission…

One hundred days. One hundred new ways to be happy. Annie’s convinced it’s impossible, but so is saying no to Polly. And on an unforgettable journey that will force her to open herself to new experiences—and perhaps even new love with the unlikeliest of men—Annie will slowly begin to realize that maybe, just maybe, there’s still joy to be found in the world. But then it becomes clear that Polly’s about to need her new friend more than ever…and Annie will have to decide once and for all whether letting others in is a risk worth taking. Continue reading

Literary Friday, ya’ll….

 

It’s the first Friday of 2018. We’ve been having frigid temperatures the past few days and I’ve been bundling up and staying warm as much as I can. My kitty cats have been staying in and I’ve been wearing my Ugg knock off slippers (5 bucks at Sam’s Club and they are very comfy!) so my feet are extra toasty and warm.

I’ve been reading The Last Mrs.Parrish (enjoying so far!) and I got back to listening to Up and Vanished podcast (I only have a few episodes left!)

I’m also one of the co-hosts of #InstaWithBooks #NewYearWithBooks- and you should def be participating!

Let’s kick off this first Literary Friday of 2018! Continue reading
