Yesterday‘s op shop purchases. Grand total 🟰 $62.15. I did use my credits. The coloring castle is to use with my nieces and nephews. I think I‘ll wear the dress out on Sunday for lunch to celebrate what I hope is are great performances at Showcase. It will be nice to rest after a good party. My body is starting to worn me it‘s had just about enough.
• I know this one is going to break my heart. I just hope it puts it back together. •

so-soJessica Simpson was honest and open, true to the book‘s title. I gave this book 3.5/5 stars on Fable, which is so-so for me. I can‘t say I would recommend the book unless to a real fan (which admittedly, I couldn‘t name a single song of hers before reading and I‘ve possibly already forgotten the names of her hits). I will say, I never liked John Mayer before, but now I have reason to dislike him. What a misogynistic kook.
We stopped by the Harland Sanders KFC Muesum in Kentucky today and found this gem. Anyone happen to have read Tender Wings of Desire? And why do I think I might need to? 🤣🤣
so-soI wanted to love it, I really did 😔 it was just so childishly written to me. It almost seems like she wasn't ready to write this as it's so rushed.
I am still Team Britney, though!
pickI know this has gotten mixed reviews but I liked it. At an exclusive island resort for A-list celebrities, a place where they can party and unwind without the eyes of the press or randos on them, bodies are found, but who among them has been killed? Pretty much all the characters are awful, and they all have secrets, which slowly unfold as it‘s learned who has met their end.

pickOk, so I‘m on a celebrity memoir, author-read audiobook tour (of my own making) and I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this book. Paris is unbelievably honest and vulnerable. There is so much to unpack and I don‘t know where to begin unpacking. I wish I read this as part of a book club.
I didn‘t get to do a huge amount of outdoor sit-n-read earlier because it was kinda cold, with impending rain. (Three cheers for my superlight umbrella!) I did start another Jackie Lau novella in front of this ruin, though! The wall was part of a 16th century townhouse that was destroyed in the 1940 bombings. Behind me, a post-war building has incorporated the townhouse‘s chapel, which looks mostly intact.
pickI listened to the audiobook and loved it because Pamela read it. I‘ve always been a fan of her, always, so maybe I‘m biased. I also just saw her in The Last Showgirl and that was fantastic. She‘s an incredible woman and I feel so lucky that she shared her memoir with us.
