#Aprella #CruelWorld #SingleLadies After my catch up trifecta of ?prompts, I'm just combining 2 today. (Busy week!)?Bridget Jones is the ultimate single lady in book & movie & she knew what a cruel world it was for a singleton to be surrounded by so many smug married couples. Luckily she had some great single 'ladies' as friends since it took a while for Mark Darcy to put a? on it even if he did say he liked her, "very much, just as you are."?

O Caledonia | Elspeth Barker

Janet is born into a dark & dreary #cruelworld where she is unwelcome and for the most part, ignored. She finds comfort and a sense of humor in the form of nature and animals, but has a distaste for most humans...I highly recommend this beautifully written gothic tale 🖤

The Devil in the White City: A Saga of Magic and Murder at the Fair that Changed America | Erik Larson

My #currentread is about the #cruelworld of Chicago leading up to the 1893 world‘s fair.The weather is dreadful, the stock market is crashing, the buildings for the expo keep collapsing, and young women are disappearing. This true story of a serial killer on the loose while the architects prepare for the world‘s fair has been fascinating so far. #aprella

Lcsmcat My whole book club loved this book (which is rare) but most of us liked either the fair or the serial killer part but not both. I was one of the few who liked both. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y

Mdargusch Great book! It‘s so hard to believe they ever had that fair. 7y

Cinfhen It‘s on my soon TBR as this book was gifted to me by @Bklover & @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ❤️❤️ 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen ❤️❤️ 7y

Bklover @Lcsmcat I liked both as well- thought the whole thing was fascinating! @cinfhen ❤️❤️ (edited) 7y

SaturnDoo This reminded me of: my youngest son went to a friend's house for Thanksgiving dinner last year. They have a pet pig in the house. They were feeding the pig leftover ham from dinner. Son was ? and asked," Isn't that cannibalism?" ???? 7y

rubyslippersreads 😱 7y

emilyhaldi OMG I witnessed this EXACT scene in our backyard when I was 12. We kept catching frogs from a local pond and putting them in the fountain in our backyard. They kept disappearing and we couldn‘t figure out where they went until ONE DAY I walked outside to see the biggest, fattest bullfrog of all sitting on the edge of the fountain with legs sticking out of his mouth!! 😵😱🤯 I will never forget it!!!! @Mdargusch @Reviewsbylola @Meredith3 @AnnieD 7y

Reviewsbylola How did I never hear this story before?!? @emilyhaldi 7y

Meredith3 @emilyhaldi 😫😫😫poor lil froggies 😿 7y

DivineDiana Horrors! 😬 7y

LeahBergen @Reviewsbylola @Mdargusch @rubyslippersreads @DivineDiana 😂😂 7y

LeahBergen @SaturnDoo That is TOTALLY cannibalism! 😆 Your son is right! 7y

LeahBergen @emilyhaldi OMG. 😂😂 That is a a complete childhood trauma!!! 7y

A Woman in Berlin: Diary 20 April 1945 to 22 June 1945 | Anonymous

A true diary account written by an anonymous woman living in Russian Army occupied Berlin spanning from April to June 1945. So much brutality and fear that I couldn‘t even begin to imagine but the author writes down all she, and other women, experience with such strength and resilience. Highly recommend it. #cruelworld #aprella

TricksyTails YES! Battle Royale! 😍🖤 Love this edition! Agree with @dragondrool , Battle Royale is so much better! 7y

Reggie Lol, I loved the movie and believe the part at the lighthouse is a small microcosm of how women act in the real world with each other all the time. 7y

Mother's Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy | Sue Klebold

Listening to this, and I can‘t help but think what a #cruelworld we live in, when school shootings excist, when parents forever doubt themselves, and when kids hide things they can‘t handle alone...

#Aprella

Cinfhen, Reviewsbylola, emilyhaldi, Mdargusch

IamIamIam I found this very powerful. It wasn't an easy read. 7y

Reviewsbylola Is was so glad Sue Klebold wrote this. It is very necessary. But I agree, what a #cruelworld when the child you love and adore does something unimaginable like this. 7y

BookNAround This was a tough book to read but fantastic for all that. 7y

Jabberwocky I‘m working on the tagged book, and I definitely want to read Sue‘s account.

Columbine

Kalalalatja @IamIamIam definitely not! I‘m only 2 hours into it, but I have had a lump in my throat multiple times already! @Reviewsbylola I can‘t even imagine, but it most be the ultimate nightmare for any parent.. @BookNAround I‘m pretty sure you are right! @Jabberwocky that‘s on my tbr, too! I have heard so many great things! 7y

L_auren Ugh such a great book!!!! 7y

Cinfhen I was so impressed with this memoir! I thought Sue showed genuine sympathy and empathy for all involved and she didn‘t write the book for selfish or monetary motives 7y

Reviewsbylola I agree @cinfhen. I think she has handled the whole thing so well. I know it is in our nature to point fingers, but I honestly believe they had a loving, “normal” family, and I can‘t imagine having to face that your child did that while also grieving that same child that everyone hates. She wasn‘t able to grieve in the way the other parents were. 7y

Suet624 I agree with you all. I cried a lot while reading it. Sue did a great job with it. This book is a must read for any parent. @Reviewsbylola @Cinfhen @Kalalalatja (edited) 7y

Cinfhen Agreed @Reviewsbylola @Suet624 a must read FOR EVERYONE truly heartbreaking 7y

emilyhaldi I so want to read this book... but.... 😢 7y

Meredith3 This book is beyond tragic 😿 7y
