I can’t do it. I’m bored as hell.

I love Maria Bamford. She has all my mental health issues and I love the way she depicts them as stream of consciousness writing. Glad she has been able to find the humor in OCD and intrusive thoughts .

This one is a gift from a boss I actually like. I don’t prefer nonfiction but it sounds like a solid concept, at least.

Shit I’ve heard so much about this one. I can’t wait.

Couldn’t get through the sample copy Amazon gave me. I’ll try again later.

I’m stuck again. SJM creates these silos of text that I truly snoooooooze through, and I’m fighting to keep going in light of the next book drop on January 30…

I love everything else Maas has written, so I’m continuing the pattern. Fae baes all day ;)

I really like this! Looking forward to Kel losing and the rest of the series being them having to actively defend themselves, and hopefully beat elitist asssssss

I don’t believe in astrology at all, but what the hell - let’s see what happens in this one.

Really enjoying this world - glad there are plenty more in the series!

Man… starts off very sad. Princess Diana’s death was hard for Harry. I get it, in the months after my father’s death…I get it.

THE DRAMA OF IT ALL - I can’t wait.

It’s good to know I’m not the only one.

Starting a fresh book on my new Kindle!

Idea: Rename this series Thirty Shades of Dickmatized

These books are trash but I need that right now. Also, to whoever knows EL James: take the thesaurus away immediately. Mama needs help cuz Merriam-Webster says she’s too far gone.

12.21.22: Book 2/3. At this point, I’m expecting that the rest of the Grey series will be straight trash 🚮

On the other hand…it’s such good trash. The loose character-building, mindless plot, hilariously out-of-date language for this 22-year old woman! I can’t wait.

…I think I like this ridiculous, poorly written story.

Shit. I just remembered there’s two more…

This is a lovely but painful story of grief. I couldn’t keep going with it (reading about losing her husband were all too real to me in my own tragedy), but others certainly should.

This is my first Didion read and it’s excellent. Feels like she’s right there with me in her grief, which I haven’t felt in most books about losing someone close. Looking forward to reading her novels.

I really tried and couldn’t.

It helps that I am real life friends with Dani P, but Dani also got me Leigh Bardugo’s autograph for this book! I’m dead ☠️☠️☠️

This has been so helpful for dealing with my father’s death. I feel like it’s been my touchstone for remembering that I’ll be okay as I grieve, and the humor is just enough to remind me to relax a little.

I’m abandoning this book because it’s too depressing for me right now…life is hard enough fam

So far I’ve already experienced such thoughtful language in definitively appreciating ‘love.’ I’m fairly unfamiliar with hooks (outside of the usual wild literary success she’s had) so the personal anecdotes are a lovely infusion in the discussion so far.

So far I’m enjoying both protagonists, Rae more than Ruth obviously. Looking forward to seeing how Rae’s biography on her grandmother goes.
