Shoutout to this book and Ritz crackers for being the only things to pull me through a wild bit of insomnia last night (I am so tired)

hearing alexis bledel's (winnie in the disney movie adaptation) grown-up voice reading the opening lines made me want to cry... the wheel keeps on turning, indeed 💛

could not sleep last night so I borrowed this audiobook (read by the author), and I already can't wait for this one to be one I return to. did I fall asleep immediately, insomnia and anxiety cured? no, but it provided for a moment of wonderment, which is worth a lot

going from sentences that make me laugh out loud to sentences I wish I could unread in rapid succession here

read this before bed if you want to drift off with all the wonders of existentialism cradling you to sleep (man I was Sad last night)

reading this because joe keery is going to be one of the main characters in the upcoming movie :) and the andy weir-isms are a plus, though I doubt this will reach the same amount of heart and scientific accuracy/enthusiasm. cheers to the scene that made me go "eww so this WILL be gross to watch in theaters" (lord willing I will anyway)

I usually don't ever complain about unlikable characters but good LORD everyone in this is insufferable

ok I pushed through and I think I'm liking it again

"You know I'd die for you"???? THE HOLLOW BOY SCENE?????¿ A FUNKY SERIES MADE FOR KIDS I'M NOT CRYING AT ALL

robin commenting on the sad state of a yard by saying the lady needs a landscaper is bugging me. (1) robin is Poor (2) unless she's into like botany or something I can't see her buying into Landscaper Standards. she is NOTT an HOA girlie or something

Literally just the smallest aside and it was to reflect nancy's thoughts but... anyways this is why I'm so particular abt fanfiction to the point I don't read it LOL

giggling and kicking my feet over all 4 of them (jonathan ur on thin ice)

I am trying to care what happens but unfortunately I Do Not

Too many details are being kept hidden and Tess Sharpe usually does this really well but it's not hitting in this one 🥲

the way my stomach DROPPED when I realized HOLYYYYYYYY

"If there's one thing more stressful than being attacked by ravenous ghost-rats, it's finding that you're going to a fancy party and you haven't got a thing to wear" lucy ilysm

how is there a typo in this incredibly popular book aka the #1 recommended book about attachment theory.... make it make sense (p. 101 of my kindle edition)

eughh the way the science is presented feels much more simplified than I was expecting

actually just cried so much, god stranger things means so much to me

random things I've been loving
- the fact that lucas's ability to make the basketball team has a backstory (as a Non Sports Person I didn't think about this before but now I'm like ohhh duh)
- lucas confiding in robin !!!! and thinking she'd fit right in to the party if she was a little younger :")
- steve seeing lucas's basketball and taking it outside despite being at work. this jock rlly said It's Free Real Estate

every day I wake up and I'm grateful for the amount of sass they injected into lockwood in the netflix show. that actor IS lockwood as far as I'm concerned. also losing my mind that the "you need a ladder" lines weren't in the book (but the scene they're from WAS) - I'm gonna go bonkers when I get to lucy and lockwood at the party

the first few chapters were super interesting; I think once she started discussing the North American bears the book lost its intrigue and perhaps its direction (and I was so excited to read abt black and brown bears!!)

joan and vanessa's conversation about God is putting so many things into words that I've never seen said like this before! but it's exactly it !!!!! so much like what lives in my heart/brain! this is WILD

"Joan knew that she would not need to find a way to tell Vanessa how she felt. Vanessa would understand it. Which meant Joan would not need to learn how to be anything other than who she already was."

Ohhhhhhh my gooooood
