it's such a slog!!

part 3 has way fewer jokes and fun historical anecdotes than the other parts :<

more of a civics and history book than Coney Barrett's thought process. Good read so far

so far so good. the description of the old Chinese neighbor was spot on haha. He sounds like my grandpa

The tone of this book reminds me of "the artist's way", which is a self-help book that helps people become more creative. I listened to about 10% of the artist's way but didn't finish. Both of these books are 20+ years old and well known in their respective fields. Both are slightly spiritual in their approach to improving the skill the book focuses on

these people are SO toxic

so far this seems like Generational Trauma, the book

innocuous cover contains grenade launchers and lots of necessary homicide.

SOMEone put it on hold at the uni library...I have to give it back!

frantically reading books before they must be turned in to the library--using bobby pins as bookmarks

Bought in Vancouver for one Canadian dollar. Something to fill up the time on car rides when tour-visiting. The book gets slow at times; I think it's too detailed. It took quite a while for things to set up. Still waiting for the exciting bits. When does Lisbeth meet Mikael?
