Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Marisa
Marisa is on page 25 of 571 of Here I Am
25 pages in and I am reminded again that Fort is the master of writing dialogue that precisely reflects American Jewish family conversation. Was he taking notes at my family dinner table?

Here I Am

Marisa is on page 200 of 976 of Far from the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity
This is wonderful, but very dense and with lots of food for thought. I think this is going to be one I'll read in sections.

Three-quarters of the way through this and I am slowing down because I don't want it to be over.

Marisa is 50% done with In the Unlikely Event

In the Unlikely Event

Marisa
Marisa is 40% done with The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
Dense and a difficult read, but more for the subject matter than the writing, which is very accessible.

Marisa is reading Landline
I'm enjoying this, but what's with her (random) use of (super) (and very distracting) parantheses?

Holy cow. Good stuff but heavy. Reading it with a dictionary in my hand too.

I'm enjoying this, but I'm halfway through and still don't have any idea where this is going.

We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

Marisa is on page 687 of 771 of The Goldfinch
Somewhere around page 600 this story started to get so insane I've been dreaming about it. WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Marisa is on page 190 of 272 of Parenting from the Inside Out: How a Deeper Self-Understanding Can Help You Raise Children Who Thrive
This is awfully close to home. I'm reading about some of my own experiences in here that I've never read about or heard from other parents. Intense.
