Thank you @williammorrowbooks for gifting me a copy of The Guest List to read and review! {partner}⁣ ⁣ I sat down to read a few pages of this book on Tuesday morning and then the next thing I know, I’ve read 200 pages. I was hooked from start to finish.⁣ ⁣ With each chapter, more pieces of the puzzle were laid out in front of me and as I started to put it all together, I was in awe of how perfectly Foley wove all of the wedding guests' stories together. The last 50 pages were one surprising twist after another. ⁣ ⁣ I can’t wait to see what @lucyfoleyauthor writes next!⁣ ⁣ The Guest List was picked up by Book of the Month as one of their April choices and was published on June 2, 2020. ⁣ ⁣ 💬 Have you ever been to a destination wedding? If so, where was it?⁣ ⁣ xo, Chase⁣ ______________⁣ #thebookenddiner #thebookenddinerreviews #theguestlist #lucyfoley #williammorrowbooks #bookstagram #bookstafriendz #readingfriendz #bookstabookclub #readersofinstagram #igreaders #bibliophile #bookish #bookbabe #womenwhoread #booksbooksbooks #bookphotography #bookaesthetics #bookaddict #summerreading #alwaysreading #goodreads #thrillergenre #thrillerthursday #thriller

Sigh... I’m not even sure where to begin with life lately. But, here is something that I wrote that I want to share. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s hard for me to form the words.. the right words. The words to clearly express how shocked, saddened and angry I feel for my fellow human beings. It’s 2020... the color of someone’s skin should not be a deciding factor in whether that person should be treated fairly. The color of someone’s skin has never been something I’ve ever thought twice about. When I meet someone new, I don’t think about the color of their skin. I pay attention to who they are — do I look at the color of their eyes? Yes. Do I watch to see if they laugh with their whole body? Does their face light up when they smile? Do they have a kind heart? Are the kind to all creatures? Do they have a job they enjoy? What’s their favorite book? Do they like to cook? What is the greatest strength? I have NEVER considered the color of their skin.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’ve been quiet the last few days. At first, I was tired but I didn’t understand why but then it occurred to me that I am tired because people are hurting. Then I was quiet because I didn’t want to say the wrong thing. And finally, I was quiet because I wanted to learn, listen and watch. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And while I know I am probably not putting my thoughts and feelings out there as articulately as I would like, please know that my eyes, my ears and my heart are open. I will continue to be open and continue to listen as the days go on. That will not ever change. ⁣⁣ xo, Chase⁣⁣ _______________⁣⁣ #thebookenddiner #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #readersofinstagram #honestthoughts #openhearts #bibliophile #bookstafriendz #readingfriendz #bookstabookclub #keepgoing #keepmoving #imwithyou #bookish #bookshelf #booksandcoffee
