Part one of my book haul from my library‘s book sale. I was intrigued by the cover of the showcased book.

Mehso-so

I took the title literally and thought this was about “stuff clutter”, not family dysfunction clutter. The author exposes a lot of ugliness, but does it with tasteful humor. It was a quick read, but I was starting to tire of the endless drama at the end. One of the later chapters addressed her own romantic relationships and her learning moments. That chapter alone should be given to young women to read...best part of the book! A 3/5 ⭐️so-so.

Wife @lapreader Hi. I noticed that you stacked this. I don‘t usually keep my books unless I plan to read them again. I would be happy to send it to you if you‘d like. 🌹 7y
LapReader Same with me. I am in Australia but if you are still keen then yes please! 7y
Wife @lapreader I just noticed that you are in the #JB group. I should have your address at home. I‘ll be happy to send it to you!🌹 (edited) 7y

LapReader Yay! Thankyou. 7y
ReadingRover I got a signed copy of this at BookExpo. I‘m actually pretty excited about it. It sounded good to me! I‘m sorry you didn‘t like it 😢 7y
Wife @readingrover I didn‘t dislike it, it just wasn‘t a solid “recommend”. The writing was very witty and filled my downtime at work Friday. 🌹 7y
KateFulfordAuthor If you need another recommendation, may I point you to my People‘s Book Prize nominated debut? Sassy female narrative, laugh out dialogue and a pacy plot. Check the link in the bio for 2 free chapters, reviews and more. 7y
Wife @LapReader Hi. I‘m not sure how long it will take, but I sent this book on it‘s way today. Enjoy !🌹 7y
LapReader I will let you know when it arrives @Wife Thanks again. What a lovely thing for you to do for me xo 7y
Wife I‘m a little concerned that the package I sent is lost. It was mailed 6/15/18. Would it normally take this long? I don‘t have prior experience with mailing to Australia. Hope it gets there and hope you are having a great day!🌹 7y

After renewing two books from the library twice I realized I wouldn‘t get to them before 2018, so I returned them yesterday. Of course, I couldn‘t leave empty handed. I may squeeze this short read in before the ball drops on NYE. Anyone heard of it? #libraryhaul

Eyelit Sounds like an interesting read! 7y
