The baby and bright just got into poison ivy…new newborn fear unlocked 🤦‍♀️

Funny and gruesomely descriptive! Great audiobook so far! It’s narrated by Elle Fanning who stars in the show version!

Sometimes more money does mean more problems.

I saw a video talking about Henrietta Lacks but it didn’t go into much detail other than her being the reason we have the HeLa cells. Yesterday I found a book at the library about her. It’s just been very sad. Her childhood reminds me of my granny’s. She was raised by her grandparents from the age 4 with a gaggle of other cousins. She passed away from cervical cancer at 29 after having 5 kids already.

I’m listening to this on audiobook while I clean or workout right now and it’s sooooo fun! I’m still in love with Nat lol!

Just through the intro and first chapter but already learning such cool stuff! I’m particular excited about the chapters on male nutrition and vegetarian/vegan nutrition.

I love this book! I found a free audio book on YouTube to listen to and it's been endlessly entertaining! The descriptions of "holy smells" make my skin crawl but I'm also super curious...what did that smell like :/

“JUDAS” has so far been my favorite quote lol!

"Let us pray that the Lord will grant us a pope who doubts, and by his doubts continues to make the catholic faith a living thing that may inspire the whole world. Let Him grant us a pope who sins, and asks for forgiveness, and carries on." This speech was wonderful in the movie and given by my favorite ralph fiennes and its pretty word for word from what I remember. This speech has lots to chew on!

I wanted to read this book after I saw the movie in theaters late last year. I am enjoying it so far because it has had just as much gossip and beautiful scenes as the movie!

Chap 1-2
No body told me Dracula had a mustache…and he twirled it sometimes!

Umm also Jonathan saying his breath was rank 🤢🤢🤢…he’s literally rotting on the inside!

So far such an engaging read/listen! Ive been leaving earlier for work in the morning so I can listen to more!!

Taking off his spectacles, as was his habit before enunciating general truth, he looked into them sadly, and remarked that the darker races are physically attracted by the fairer, but not vice versa-not a matter for bitterness this, not a matter for abuse, but just a fact which any scientific observer will confirm.
"Even when the lady is so
uglier than the
gentleman?"


I audibly gasped 😱.

I’m finding that Forster does dread really well. Like this and Howard’s End almost make my stomach queasy for some of the characters…it was for Len and this time around it’s for Aziz…..
