Reading with 4havo/students, rereading to make a new and improved test

if my loyal followers are concerned by a lack of reading this week, please know I am reading tons, just nothing I can put in Goodreads (it’s all fanfic yay)

men are the fucking worst

This was a blind buy for the “Blind date with a book” series my bookstore offers.

Book club #5

Kristin Hannah: let’s traumatize these characters
Also Kristin Hannah: now do it again. and again.

yep I’m doing Kristin Hannah again.. I never think they’re good yet I can’t stay away lol

book club #4

what a depressing book!!!! so many manipulative people yet I also think they’re like this bc of trauma but it depresses me so much

Reading again for book club with my students

why has a 10 year old been offered wine TWICE already?? by her DOCTOR aunt?? wild

what better to comfort oneself with than the beloved genre of the teen years?

*audio - pretty easy listening and enjoyable so far

wtf again

I fucking love this movie and Keri Russell in it. Figured I’d give the book a go for my cozy Christmas reading.

These people are a MESS. Love it.

First chapter ends WILD. Wonder what this will be like. Was influenced by an actress I like to read this lol

Fuck this book is doing things to me. Feel the urgent need to cry.

“But when I see others walking with confidence down the sidewalk, as though they are free completely from terror, I realize I don’t know how others are. So much of life seems speculation.” - this is going to be good!

Victim blaming at its finest “it is partially your fault” (…) “if you didn’t smell so appallingly luscious, he might not have bothered”. lmaoooo this book is toxic as fuck

easy flowing narrative, good, but at this point I just want to know how it ends

Pleased to find this little snippet of migraine support in the book: “the truth was I wanted to die right there on the stairs and have done with it. Are there people who have such headaches not just occasionally but frequently? If so, God help them.” We do, Mr. King. Thanks for your support!!

Not sure why but I hear the narrator’s voice in a Southern accent..

*listening to Meryl Streep 😍
