Eve gets so mad at everything. Girl must have the highest blood pressure.

“Appetite is weakness” - Eve, it’s a grape.

I have a notebook dedicated to this book now with references, definitions, and names written down. It’s making me work, but it’s also really funny.

Whoa. My brain.

Ok yes we get it. You don’t usually like people but you like each other.

This is so cute and cozy - the ideal read this week as we have unseasonably snowy weather.

If a dude is really really angry about something that happened 90 years ago, that’s a red flag.🚩

Ok I’d really like us all to retire the “CPAP machine so loud” joke. Modern CPAP machines make almost no sound.

I think I had the characterization of Jackson wrong in my mind. I should re-read the first book and see how my perception of him has changed.

Ok I grabbed my book about flowers so I can follow this book more easily 🌺 🌹 🌼

I can’t with the name Woofarine. I think it would be cuter to just name the tiny dog Wolverine.

I love this book - though watching the TV show at the same time has confused my brain. I love what it brings up about class, gender, the stigma of sex work. And it’s fun as hell.

There are so many books…. Having an existential crisis about reading them all. I might have to take a break from Goodreads for a bit so I don’t keep adding to the never-ending list. I’m currently paralyzed about what to read next even though I’m already reading something…. Which makes no sense.

Ok ok ok ok everyone listen. Your tax RETURN is the paperwork you file with all your information, income, deductions, whatever on it. If you didn’t pay enough tax, payment is required to be filed with this paperwork. Your tax REFUND is the money you receive if you overpaid income tax. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH😡

This book is so good I haven’t been reading it because then it will end.

Ok this is adorable. I love that he adopted a puppy for her and I love the little puppy panting sound effects. Some of the weird “sci-fi” sound effects made me think there was something wrong with my car, though! 🤣

Oh the golden retrieverness! Down boy!

Oh Christina. I’m so sorry.

This book is getting me through the day

Listening to the audiobook this time around - the talking heads/greek chorus bits are read by a full cast and they are delightful. Particularly Johnny Weir as Ellis Dean.

I got my copy signed today and chatted with Cat. She’s the best.

Look at this cover. It’s a masterpiece.

This book is a broad survey of practices, but it has beautiful photographs and is well-designed. It’s a great starting point to explore these ideas.

I listened to the dramatized full cast edition of this on my long drive back to Colorado - it was my first full-cast audiobook with sound effects and it is so much fun (though the sex scenes can be really awkward). I’m finishing the last couple of hours at home - it’s better while driving but still super fun. I enjoy this one like I enjoy divergent - without the rest of the series to bog it down.

Rereading this one on audio - I love the way she narrates her life. Also I’m pretty sure I (and the internet) have figured out “John’s” identity, so that reframes a few things for me (like mentions of actors and sets and plot lines of shows)

If you’re new here, I have severe ADHD, and Ive been shamed my whole life for being “messy”. I’m (finally) coming out of a serious depression during which I had to quit everything (including my job). This book is amazing and I wish I had read it before now. Everyone should read it - to help those who struggle and to show those who don’t struggle why others might not present perfect pristine homes.

I really need to go back and read physical copies of these. There is so much action, I get swept away in the audiobook and if my mind wanders, I miss so much!

This one was different from the others of hers I have read. I felt the two love stories could have been two separate books, with more time to delve into both. But, overall, it was sweet and fun!

I’m just kind of sad right now and I’m quietly weeping my way through this book. Also I’m having spaghetti for dinner and M&Ms for dessert.
