Read on this recommendation...but now I understand why it was at the Dollar Tree. Finished it, still with no idea what it was actually about 🤷‍♀️ #DisappointingRead

This is summer book club‘s August book. Anyone here read it? It‘s definitely offbeat so far.

Pickpick

Bittersweet and cleverly done. The ending is a bit abrupt. I would say read in a couple of sittings. I took a bit too long to read this one. Alex, the 13 yo protagonist is precocious and likable. Def a few chuckles in this book. 3.5⭐️ tough book to rate.

JanuarieTimewalker13 Certain passages in this book were profound. I think maybe I‘m not clever enough to get the full gist of it all. I may have underrated this book due to ignorance on my part. I‘m not sure. 7y

Started Ostrich last night. Anything blurbed by Matt Haig has to be good! Xena enjoying the little bit of sunshine we have- the geranium blooming is at least hopeful! Bring.Spring.Now.🌼

MicheleinPhilly I‘ve resigned myself to the idea that we‘re just going to move straight into summer. No warning, no gradual easing. It‘s just going to go from 45 to 95 in a week. 😒 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @MicheleinPhilly I agree, it seems for the Northeast there is no Fall or Spring anymore🙁 7y
Beckys_Books @MicheleinPhilly i fear the same for Missouri. Snow yesterday! 7y

JanuarieTimewalker13 @Beckys_Books ughh, we‘re supposed to get a wintry mix tonight, which, for a minute, was called snain in the 80s...lol..guess it never caught on. (edited) 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 I do miss the 80s, at least we had seasons, and if that didn‘t work, the big hair kept you warm. Hahahahahaha 7y
MemoirsForMe Awww Xena! 😻She must be named after our favorite Warrior Princess. 🙌🏻 7y
MinDea She looks a little like my Chloe! #TuxedoKittiesOfLitsy 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 I was just thinking Leigh Bardugo should write a book on Xena!! I still have to read Wonder Woman Warbringer! 7y
MemoirsForMe Oh, I'd definitely read it. 😁Leigh's gotta be a Xena fan too! 7y

I'm child free on a day off with no agenda for maybe the second time in 2 and a half years, I've painted my nails, the house is reasonably tidy and I'm taking some me time, soaking up the November sun on my lovely bed and just about to start this one!

Dollar store buy....has anyone read this? There aren't any ratings on Litsy.

Rusty88 Did you read it? I just picked it up at the library was intrigued! 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @Rusty88 Not yet, I do that...purchase a book and then it takes me awhile to read it. Weird, I was just looking at it on my shelf today. I'll be happy to see your review! 7y
Rusty88 Haha Im the same! Will tag you when I read it x 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @Rusty88 Thanks!👍🏽 7y
