Sarah Denzil's One for Sorrow. Diving into this psychological thriller before moving on to my planned holiday read: Legends and Lattes.

What book are you planning to immerse yourself in this holiday season? I'd love to know so I can also add them to my TBR list. 😊

"Invitation" is for formal events, like weddings, birthday parties, reunions, and corporate events.

"Invite" is for online meetings and calls.

@teacherbuknoy If we're to be technical about it, "invite" is just a colloquial term for "invitation," so either can be used in both examples.

Some, though, have a problem using "invite" as a noun, as they believe it's strictly a verb: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/can-you-use-invite-as-a-noun

("Invite" is used in one journal example that goes as far back as the 1800s, when online meetings and calls still didn't exist.)

As if this book can't get any better, the last chapter presented my favorite character as a dog. A DOG!

Oh, my heart! 🐶💖

You know you have a really good book in your hands when: 1) You are tempted to ignore deadlines and just spend the entire day reading but also 2) you don't want to the book to end.

Arsenic and Adobo is on sale on Amazon. Should I get the ebook?

Thinking of putting a pause on The Story of a Brief Marriage because I don't think I'm in the right headspace for such a heavy read.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Deciding on which among these three books by authors I should read next (these are from my Big Bad Wolf haul last June). Leaning towards Arudpragasam's novel set in Sril Lanka.

Has anyone read any of these books?

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon It was! Decided to go for Anuk Arudpragasm. 😊

Thinking of queueing this up for my next non-fic read. Or maybe I should first finish the ultra challenging "Designing Organisations"? Or perhaps read both concurrently? 😂

Two books that made me sob: The Art of Racing in the Rain and this one.

So beautifully written but also so painful to read. There are parts where I had to choke back tears. Make sure you have a pack of tissue on hand (and don't skip the author's notes at the end.)
