Bizarre. Truly.

What a weird book and o\I'm only on page 40!

What *is* this book? I'm totally drawn in.

Uh, I'm sorry but this book is just not my thing. If you love it, that's fine. So over-hyped.

Totally not something I would normally read. I want to see what the hype is about.

Outside my comfort zone. I may not get through this because I might not understand it. But who knows?

I know that Gruff Rhys is a musician (and I will investigate that now in a minute), but please tell me he's written more books. This is very enjoyable and I've barely started. I see a very deep rabbit hole opening in my future.

I can Google. Don't worry. I will do that. No need to tell me.

I don't really (well, normally) read what I consider to be self-help books unless there's a big hype around it and I'm curious. A friend said this one was different and suggested it. I'll give it a shot.

I'm reading this slowly because I am Googling bits of history that I don't know about. That said, I'm only 64 pages in and this book has already made me cry twice. I'm really enjoying it.

New translation - and annotated.

I don't know. Not loving it but I'm not hating it either. Meh.

Reading slowly, this. I'm enjoying it but it's dense. Not complaining.

DNF. Uncle.

*insert eyeroll emoji here*

Looking for a new book challenge for 2021. I have done Pop Sugar's challenges in the past, but would like something different this year. I can make up my own, but I do like the scavenger hunt aspect of a good challenge. If you've found one you like, let me know! Thanks!

Another re-read to end the year.

Re-reading this, Seems appropriate after If We Were Villains,

Though I've highlighted a lot of things, I'm on the struggle bus with this one.

Re-reading. :)

Re-reading this. I always like to revisit the Foxfire books.

Re-reading for the season!

I'm loving this book! It reads like a Cary Grant/Grace Kelly movie.

Re-reading Outliers. I didn't think much of it last year, but I'm going to give it another shot.

Ways to get 4 books ahead of schedule on your 2018 Goodreads challenge...start 2 books in December 2017, binge read 2 books in early January. You're welcome.

Really enjoying this book, but it's making me really sad about the current state of country music and Nashville in general. It has also reminded me that people (sadly) don't remember Mickey Newbury anymore.

Working my way through it. It's a collection of short stories.
