Bored with this. Nothing new happening

Ran out of the wine bar when my date showed up (chopped) in a deep cut red mini dress and strappy sandals (ok Carrie Bradshaw) so I could come home and start this for book club. I hate being single!!!!!!!! I love reading a big hard book :)

Need to switch to my bookclub book eeeeep

gooooooodness i am in a RUT. reading/listening so so slowly and sporadically at best. dopaminergic prescriptions be damned that alleged adhd can distract a girl!!!!!

It hurts

Gay and sad :( makes me want to paint

Reminds me of Baldwin thus far (not very far in at all)

when you lose your lover, no one will admit what happens: “there’s someone else living behind your eyes, and they shape everything you see”

Is this the first book written by a man I’ve read this year? The first fiction at least. Hell yeah. I rock

An immediate “holy f***ing sh*t” upon finishing the INTRODUCTION. Don’t even get me started (wait for the review) on the chapters written (a whole book written in 3 weeks!!!!) during her hypomanic episode. God I miss it. I want to write a book again! Oh to be convinced my creation is good and funny! And actually realize, once stable, it is indeed good and funny! I miss my “sparkle” like if u relate

Literally please text I’m going so insane I’m trying to cure it with autobiographical self help books

Acceptingly

High expectations for this one

Haven’t yet read her trilogy and the second essay, “Aquamarine,” was all spoilers. Oops!

Womp womp

Amazed by how intuitively this man responded to and interacted with his wife during a bout of psychosis. Shout out to his mother

It’s like the publishing industry is begging me to write a memoir/novel about bipolar 2…. Can’t find myself represented ANYWHERE in literature! Not all of us experienced psychosis! Ever heard of a mixed episode?? Where my cyclothymia girls at ….

Crazy how ~6 mos later this book is outdated

This could be 1/3 as long and I would love it. Becoming bored at this point

Accurate description of growing up as a girl in the 90’s with granola parent(s)

Oh I’m ffckkkkngggg w this

Not as fun as “ Butter “ yet

Excellently written witty dialogue

Ugh I keep reading books on childhood sexual abuse and putting myself in a bad mood but I can’t put the book(s) down because the writing is infectious and compelling. I can’t look away. It’s like watching a memory play out in a slightly different shape. I remember this; this happened to me. This is different, is this my memory? Did this happen to her too? Cliche but #meToo

Though I may be cringe I am free

I’m in a slump

Damn this chick is a facist

Mr. John Galt I love your 100% affordable one size baby tshirts
