Getting there…kind of feel like this could be wrapped up by now.

I feel like I should be much further (farther…why can’t I ever get those two words straight? For as many times as I have googled it, it should be stuck in my darn head.) along in this book. It seems like a lot has happened but I have quite a bit left.

Oh gosh, what a horrific story. I don’t have words. How can people be so damn evil. It’s beyond comprehension to me. Like I don’t get it. At all. How does so much evil get inside of so many people? How do they think it’s okay? And how can it be stopped because this should not be anyone’s story.

This may end up being a DNF for me. I will try again tomm, but tonight I can’t handle a kid being the victim and being there for it….just can’t tonight.

This is a random thought, but the mention of brussel sprouts made me realize I have never had them. I didn’t even know what they looked like until I just googled them🤷‍♀️. I feel a little vegetable uneducated right now.

In 2019 Fertile, MN was named the nicest place in MN by Readers Digest. Random factoid for anyone who cares. The name of the city made me curious (not sure why this particular name out of all the random city names in books piqued my curiosity, but it did) if it was a real or fictional name and it’s real.
