Natasha.C.Barnes Just wanted to say I like your bio--definitely something to brag about! 😄 7y

Tessy Scrolling through your posts I am excited to find someone who reads after my own tastes. Have been looking long and hard for inspiration and it is all here. We have read many of the same books and most of the remainder look intriguing enough to go search for. Thank you for sharing with us. 6y

AnimalRiotPress Love this book & this author! She read for our series and was amazing ❤️ 6y

I really wanted to like this book... But there's no action and no discernible plot. It's just this woman waxing poetic about her acquaintances who are way more interesting than she is. It's all telling and no showing. It's the kind of thing MFA programs live and die by, but that the rest of us find insufferable. I wish I could think of something good to say, I really do. I hope other people enjoy it more than me.

I really want this book to get better because right now it's agonizingly boring. So far it's ALL telling, not showing. I'm 55 pages in and have fallen asleep 4 times while reading. I want to support small presses, which I normally enjoy, but this one is sadly underwhelming. 😕🙁☹️

Notafraidofwords Ahh that sucks 8y

Chelsey Bummer. And such a pretty cover too! 8y

Got a sicknasty collection of books at #reparama in Minneapolis. Some creepy & odd books, some that sound just beautiful, v relevant nonfiction, and one Japanese scifi novel. How do I decide which to read first???
