Omg this is an incredible read. Thank you to the person who ask me to read this. I am in the heads of these disabled people. The thing is I know these people. The writer as well. I spent 28 years at a place like Upward Bound.

This is brilliant. But I can’t stop crying. I worked with these people for 28 years. We had good non verbal communication with iPads, picture pads, etc. To be trapped in your body…

Brilliant. OMG. I know these people. I worked at a center based program for 28 years. I know my non speakers were brilliant. My life is better because of them. Being the odd duck that I am I was appreciated. They knew I could never be as smart as they were. Perfect pitch, trigonometry, memory.

It is just nuts! Not as good as her last book.

Last Matt Haig for me. Just not my style. I have to finish this because I bought it. And for Pop Sugar. Ugh!

So WWII. Nothing new here. Unreal conversation between perfectly shallow people.

🎧 OMG? How is this our book club pick? I don’t read books with gorgeous perfect people. So shallow.

Brutal chapter.

Horrific. In Cosby’s own words.

A few pages in. OMG. Listening. The readers voice…

Quirkey is a good descriptive for this book. So odd. Slightly crazy.

I like this author but the reader’s voice is hard to listen to. Also I don’t like teen angst.

This is a tough read. Walking through the desert into America is so harrowing. For this child.

Who doesn’t love this murderbot?

I love this book.

Read first 1/31/16–2/22/16

I am only reading this book because I have to read a middle grade duology. It is killing me.

Gen X is blowing my mind. To be so willing to upend a comfortable life so you for sure live every moment of this one life we have.

So I am depressed. I never am-but losing my connection to any kind of social life when my husband died has sent me down a path.
Then I start reading this book. I now know all the reasons we all should be depressed…

I am listening to the author read. This reminds me of Sally Rooney’s style of writing. Modern, tell all.

I have to read this in small doses. Middle grade is not my jam. Ugh!

This book is killing me. It is soooo adolescent. And teen boys. I am forcing myself to get a page down.

It is quite fluffy. But some angst. I don’t know any real people who are so sweet.

Oops! I did it again. Teen boys at boarding school are the worst. Ugh! Reading this for a challenge. YA is a little (a lot) immature for me.

Read Harder#20 Read the first book in a completed young adult duology. Well, here I go again. More teen boys. Private school. This is gonna hurt.

I am enjoying this book. I love this stuff! Witches and vampires and ghosts. Aha!

Chapter one and I love this already. I have both book and audio🎧

Just for the record, I don’t like even one character in this book. I want it to be done with it so I can read something else. More tragi than comedy. Really not funny at all…

The book is getting better. The POV is so masculine it is hard for me to get my head around the story. My husband of many years was raised by strong women so I don’t feel prepared for this viewpoint. Male dominance and misogyny. 14 year old boy humor etc.

It is a very little better. I just screamed shut up at Ruptecht. But pages are turning.
