CommunityAdmin to read in english helps me exercise the language

CommunityAdmin Wooow! 😊 This book has been on my wish list for a long time. That’s why I’m going to try my luck. Lets hope the best 😊🍀

roura You are absolutely right…The more you read books in English, the better you master the language. 😀

Oh I would love to participate! I haven``` t read a book by Emily Henri yet and it would be great to do so with other people. 🙂 I will be trying my luck! 🌠

CommunityAdmin Sounds like a “funny story”😁. Would love to be part of it!

That sounds interesting. Since English reading rounds are rarely available, I am always happy when another book in English is suggested. I’ll try my luck and would be delighted to receive a copy. 🍀🐞

I’d love the chance to participate in an english reading round, and this book sounds interesting.

CommunityAdmin This book sounds very interesting and well, - funny!📚😘I would love to participate in this reading round!☺️

CommunityAdmin how cool, already saw some recommendationts for this book on instagram, so I’m up for it 😛

CommunityAdmin So nice that you also do English book clubs! I love reading books in the original language and it would be fun to participate 🥰

WIZ

Hi everybody in the English Book Circle

Thanks a lot for accepting me and sending me a copy of the book. It is the first time I will actively participate. Would you please tell me, how it exactly works? In flesh or online? 🧐

Kind regards

Hello WIZ
Oh, how lovely. Welcome to your first book club.
This discussion will only take place online.

All the details on how it works, you can find here.

I wish you a wonderful time with this book.

Best wishes,

Sadly I didn’t really warm up with the characters and I’ve felt like the story was to short for me to really get into it. But everyone raved about Emilys books and so I’m really excited for the funny story an hope it’s more my cup of tea 😊

And this morning the book has arrived 😍 I really love the cover 😊 can’t wait to dive in…

Sabijelo

Today, I received my copy and started reading right away. Only a few pages, but I am already captivated 🙂

Rosali

My book has also arrived today 🤩 The cover and blurb are really alluring, can’t wait to start reading.

Hey everyone, my book arrived today and the colours on the cover look so cheerful! I am super excited to get started with my first book from Emily Henry. 😊

mivi

Belana_st Thank you for letting me being part of this book club 😍

I really wanted to get the book, as I already read „Happy Place“, which was one of my favourite books I read so far! Emily Henry was able to write a good and yet realistic love story with such a beautiful message in the end. I‘m looking forward to reading this book.

I usually read books in english so it‘s cool to now be part of an english book club too 😊

Shower_cosmos

Yippee ki-yay, my copy has also arrived. 📫 And thank you so much for the lovely surprise!!!

DDC

great, my book arrived 🤩

LisaIsa

My book arrived as well! 😍 I haven’t read anything by Emily Henry yet, but her books are on my TBR since quite some time. So I’m very much looking forward.

Belana_st Hi everyone! I am so excited to be a part of this book club. My book has also arrived and I’m really looking forward to getting into it ☺️ I actually prefer to read in English, it helps me build my vocabulary. This is my first Emily Henry book, the story sounds like it’s going to be fun, can’t wait to start reading! And thanks for the T-shirt.

LiaS

Belana_st

My copy arrived yesterday and I have already started reading.

I usually read books in English… or French… or German… depending on the original language of the book.

BTW: thanks a lot for the Funny Story bag that came along with the book 😁

WIZ

Hi everybody

Many thanks for the book and the tote bag. I love reading books about relationships. What is love? What’s real, what’s fake? This seems to be the main question at the beginning of Emily Henry’s Funny Story. A romance, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. It is a page-turner! Funny, as well as thought-provoking. What happens if you mean one thing and say another ? I can’t wait to find out the consequences in the story.

On Thursday I am flying to London for a week but I’ll be with you as soon as I am back.

Enjoy reading the book. ☺

I’ve just read Book Lovers as well and I really liked it too. Then I found out that I have read another book of Emily Henry “Happy Place”, which I didn’t like at all. It wasn’t that bad but I couldn’t connect with the characters, so now I’m very excited to see if Funny Story is more like Book Lovers (which I hope, because it was so good) or more like Happy Place.

ZooeyZueri

Saerely

That’s funny because I just realized that I ’ve read another book by Emily Henry as well. It was Beach Read and I liked it. Not as much as Book Lovers but enough to make me even more looking forward to reading Funny Story. I wish you a lot of fun with the book, Saerely🙂

FlakiM

The book arrived this week and I couldn’t wait any longer and started right away!! Excited to see what Emily Henry has in store for us! 😃

Belana_st

Hello everyone

I am very excited to start our discussion for the first part of the book. But first I want to check in with some of you:

@Ania @Cesare @Crisxx99 @jessielena @mivi @Saerely @susikw @SwissHelena @Tammz @ZooeyZueri
Did you receive a copy of the book?

What is your first impression of the story? Is it what you’ve expected after reading the blurb?
Do you sympathize with Daphne?
How do you view the dynamics between Daphne and Miles?

I am very curious to hear your thoughts on the first third of this lovely book.

Best wishes,

Belana

SwissHelena

Belana_st Dear All

My first impression was a groan - trying too hard. However, now the prose is flowing in a less self-conscious manner and so I am getting into it. Interesting that Daphne’s first reactions are not anger and desire for revenge. Of course I sympathise with Daphne as she has just been jilted.

jessielena

Belana_st Hello Everyone

Yes, I received a lovely copy of the book. Thank you very much. 😍 I’m so happy to finally be a part of one of the group readings. I just ended a book I was reading and now I can start with the first third of this one. I can’t wait to read it and discuss it with all of you. 🤭

Tammz

Belana_st Yes, sorry for the delay, i received my book and a shirt. Thank you very much. Need to start reading as soon as possible, unfortunately at the moment i’m sick..

Saerely

Belana_st

Hi, yes I’ve got the book. Thank you very much for the Shirt as well, that was a big sunrise.

I’ve started reading but I haven’t finished the first part yet, but I like what I’ve read so far, especially the beginning. I love the way she started telling the story.

FlakiM

SwissHelena

Great point to be honest! I was also surprised how well Daphne took the news and how she decided to move forward. It’s a very realistic approach to be honest which is very refreshing for a romance novel!

LisaIsa

Miles definitely has that golden-retriever vibe on him!! I even imagine him blonde because of his personality hahaha!

Nian

A M A Z I N G ! You finished already! I remember last year it happened to me too with “Happy Place” - I simply couldn’t put it down! Emily Henry hits the spot with the romance novels imo. I really hope you still stay and chat along as we progress further with the book - it would be interesting for you to see how all our opinions form over time 🙂
