Book Club (September)

Happy Friday! 

I hope you are having a good week so far :)

Australian Survivor finished this week and now Tj and I have a lot of time on our hands haha. Our favourite player didn't win so that sucked, but it was such a good season! American Survivor starts next week and we will definitely be watching, but it's not the same. I think we really enjoy watching them compete on really difficult challenges, where the American Survivor is more about the twists and strategic game play.

One of my Mother's Day gifts for my mom was an audiobook subscription which I first wrote about here and here for July's pick

My mom is a little behind on her audiobooks, but she's starting to listen while she puzzles with my aunt which I think is going to be a great solution. I can’t wait to do the same thing when Tj goes on his next holiday.

The next book chosen for book club is One Plus One by Jojo Moyes. 

This was on my fiction gift guide last Christmas. I love Jojo Moyes' writing and I remember when I read this book I thought it was super cute and one of my favourites by this author. 

Here is the description from kobo.com:

One single mom. One chaotic family. One quirky stranger. One irresistible love story from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You and After You. Suppose your life sucks. A lot. Your husband has done a vanishing act, your teenage stepson is being bullied, and your math whiz daughter has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you can’t afford to pay for. That’s Jess’s life in a nutshell—until an unexpected knight in shining armor offers to rescue them. Only Jess’s knight turns out to be Geeky Ed, the obnoxious tech millionaire whose vacation home she happens to clean. But Ed has big problems of his own, and driving the dysfunctional family to the Math Olympiad feels like his first unselfish act in ages . . . maybe ever.

Happy reading (or listening)!
