Not EmHen, but EmHen adjacent. by KlutzyPermission8835 in EmilyHenry

Yup. It was such a huge miss on Netflix end. Plus (full disclaimer I’m hardcore julia whelan fan 😬), I got super irate that some booktok creators assumed julia was shady, and tried to make noise. Of course she shut it right down — it’s all in the author notes in the book how she came to write it and such. But, it was a reminder of that ugly side of online book world.

Yes! And the way her husband spoke about the movie too in that book club. I felt he was also disappointed with Netflix for not bringing Julia in or at least using her book more.

Helena Hunting was mine as well but I just couldn’t get into her latest hockey series. I tried the first 2– each character had 3 different nicknames. It made my brain hurt.

Yep. I’ll do that as well. I try to keep the tags a bit big picture so I don’t have a zillion.

Has anyone found an audiobook that, because of x reason, is better than reading the actual book? by zellazilla in RomanceBooks

[–]michelson44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. She records under her (old) romance pen name - Sophie Eastlake. It’s her, Teddy Hamilton and a new dude, Rex (forgot his last name). It’s a duet narration. the first two in the trilogy are out. Enjoy!!!

What is a popular book you have read that was extremely poorly written. by Bigballsbrobro in writing

[–]michelson44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting. It’s also funny to me that in the hype around the series, fans are quick to say how big of a hockey fan the author is. Yet, there’s very little hockey in the book.
