After being on vacation for a week and a half, working for 3 days, and then having 4 days off, this week seemed to seriously DRAG. Even though I don't have a ton planned for this weekend, I'm so happy it's finally FRIDAY! Woot woot!
So here's a few of my fave Friday link ups!
So here's a few of my fave Friday link ups!
This week I'm sharing...
From GoodReads:
"After four harrowing years on the Western Front, Tom Sherbourne returns to Australia and takes a job as the lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock, nearly half a day’s journey from the coast. To this isolated island, where the supply boat comes once a season and shore leaves are granted every other year at best, Tom brings a young, bold, and loving wife, Isabel. Years later, after two miscarriages and one stillbirth, the grieving Isabel hears a baby’s cries on the wind. A boat has washed up onshore carrying a dead man and a living baby..."
My Thoughts:
It was really really sad, but so well written. I felt for all the characters in this twisted tale. I'm hard on books, but gave this one 5 stars without a second thought! Definitely would recommend!!

I picked up this PIXEL purply nail polish at Ulta months ago, but hadn't tried it yet. I usually don't do darker colors in summer, but I really liked this one. Unfortunately, it only lasted a day or two... guess that's why it was only $1!

Do you have a song that *instantly* makes you think of summer and/or vacation?
Every.Single.Time I hear these songs, it makes me think of summer-- which I love! What song(s) make you think of summer?
Coming back to work is the WORST after a vacation/time off! Will we be hearing about your trip? Hope you had a blast!
ReplyDeleteLove that nail polish!

Hmmm. I'm not one for super sad books, so I'm not sure that I'll add The Light Between Oceans to my list but it sounds interesting! And for a buck, that's a pretty good polish. Maybe add another top coat to stretch it out? Thanks for linking up! :)
ReplyDeletePretty purple shade! I haven't had really good luck with the Pixel polishes either. Have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeletePretty polish for $1!! Hope you had a wonderful trip - coming back is always hard.
ReplyDeleteI'm weirdly attracted to sad books. I don't know what's wrong with me. But I'll be checking it out.
ReplyDeleteOooh that book sounds really interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat book was a great read. Thanks so much for sharing it with me!
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds really good, I'll have to add it to my Goodreads.
