Just a couple pages in on the actual story and I’m distracted by the description of the Polaroid. It printed a black and white photo and she stuck it in her pocket to develop? What??? The Polaroids I knew smeared if you breathed wrong. Hence why we’d shake them like a Polaroid picture.

The black and white thing is weird too if it’s supposed to be old… but maybe it’ll turn out to be ‘old’ like 2012.

Interesting thus far. Just hints of zombie as of now. I like reading about the beginnings of things so this is right up my alley.

Currently can’t blame the ex for being mean, MC deserves it, I think. I wonder if that’ll change though, kinda feels like the author wants it to be like up in the air?

Just started but I love it already. At 41, reading books about 21 year olds with their whole lives ahead of them is simply depressing. Glad to read someone my age dealing with heartbreak.

Back to listening to this one. I keep having to Google the wives as it keeps slipping my mind what’s happening when he switches between stories of them. Anyway, he has a nice reading voice.

There are a lot of editing errors… Periods where they don’t belong. Kinda taking me out of the story which is annoying.

I finished the last one quite awhile back and no longer remember who Shay Malone is… I’d love to reread them all because I love this series but I’m so behind on all my reading that I’m just gonna kinda slog through and hope I figure it out.

Okay. I have finally figured out why people listen to books on 2x speed. It took a little bit to adjust but this is amazing. If I’d listened to this on regular, I’d have probably put it down. But this is amazing because it just speeds through. No weirdly long silences, etc. where I have the time to get annoyed at the author and the point they think is so profound. Just great.

Listening to the audiobook. The narrator’s voice annoyed me (pretty sure I’m just in a mood, nothing against the narrator themselves) so for the first time, I’m listening to a book on 2x speed.

It’s interesting. I don’t have enough time to get annoyed at the fact that I’m 9% in and am wondering when the book will begin to book. So… there’s that.

Listening to the audiobook. The narrator’s voice is pleasant and seems so familiar.

I’ve watched this movie countless times but this is the first proper read through of it. It’s nothing like the movie but so wonderful.

DNF. Putting this one down. I thought it would be more like secrets and funny stories. Instead, it reads like influencer worship which is weird and boring.

A quarter of the way through it. Started the book in a foul mood. Like actually radiating negativity. The perpetual frown has loosened as I begrudgingly give in to positivity. Not doing any of the pause the book here and write down this, things. Just listening and it's really helping my mood. Surprisingly. 🙎🏽🧐🤔😑🫠

Hmm... (SPOILERS AHEAD)... Her mother had a breakdown when she was a kid about how her father didn't love her anymore and was going to leave her. Her parents no longer shared a bedroom. Her mother used her trust fund to pay for her brother's college and made him promise to pay her back... He bought an apartment instead and there's not even an ounce of sympathy for her mother. Like... Wow.

About 45 minutes into this. Working on a dragon while listening and attempting to not scratch my poor skin. The story is interesting enough to ignore the fire that all the mesquite-fueled fireplaces has lit in my skin.

I knew nothing of her before she was on Gilmore Girls and really only decided to check this out cuz crochet but it's pretty interesting thus far.

Okay... Reread the entire series to read this one in particular. That's how bad the narrator of the audiobook sucked. I'd feel bad but I'm fairly certain it's an AI who has never learned cadence or sentence structure.

Rachel Willis is 56% done with Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography
Listening to the audiobook while crocheting. I have no idea which stories are true and which are false so I'll probably be assuring people that after he starred in Titanic he branded some prostitute in Texas then became Magician President for the rest of my life but it is hilarious!

He reads it himself and his voice is very pleasant and keeps me engaged in the story, so that's a plus.

Listening to the audiobook on Libby... Not loving how it's read. I'm only less than a minute in but the reader is... Well, I thought it was an AI for a second. It just sounds unnatural and weird. Hoping I'll get used to it as it goes.

The pauses are weird... It just really sounds like an AI. Like the way the Tiktok voice kinda doesn't know how a sentence flows and so pauses weird? Yeah, like that.

Finding the main character unlikeable but simultaneously enjoying the story is a new one for me.

I'm hoping this isn't going the way I think it is...

Spoiler ahead....

...

...

Cuz it's not a cute, romantic story to make off with your best friend's dude.

But the story is interesting enough... I thought there'd be more time travel.

I definitely needed this. No romance, just survival. It's one of my favorite movies... About time I read the book.

I haven't been able to read in a long time. But I feel like when I'm done reading this one, I'll actually want to read the next.

I love this book. Within seconds of picking it up, I'm deep in the world again. Definitely have to check out other books by this author later. Only issue for me is price. Paid $12 for a digital copy... Seems like a ripoff. Really not liking Amazon's price hike during quarantine...

Bought this via Kindle after seeing it recommended repeatedly. Supposed to be a great feminist book. So far I'd say it is a fantastic book (I love it and so different reading a woman written by a woman, rather than a man) and every single man puts her last... I love it but am holding out my opinion. I'm hoping for a fantastic self reliant tale where the love from a man doesn't make her... But we'll see.

Rachel Willis is 69% done with Badger to the Bone (Honey Badger Chronicles, #3)
Wasn't going to read this one after the last but I realized that I never read it before so went ahead and started it.

I like it just as well as the last. Maybe a little less, Max has never seemed fleshed out to me but she's getting more of a story in this book... Not that I'm finding it very entertaining.

So yeah... I like the book as I like the world and the writing. But Max has yet to grow on me 69% of the way in

Another cute one. Moving parts are apparently included which is awesome and a big reason I got this book. Flatbed truck, dump truck, cement mixer, front loader, backhoe, steamroller, crane, excavator, bulldozer, forklift, skidsteer, and building materials are all available to make in this. I was going to work on some other stuff but seeing all the cute items in this one I think it's #1 on the list.

17% in until the first pattern.

Love a playfood pattern.

I like that the pieces are smaller than normal as I'm interested in making smaller versions. Interested in the chips and water bottle, tacos, avocado, wings, fish, tea, chocolate bar, croissant, lunch box, and tea pot. Adorable.
