Feels like commentary on the scoreline... Poor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

ChaoticMissAdventures Rugby? I haven't started the game yet I have friends coming this afternoon to watch but I LOVE South Africa ?? so much, and feel like I am going to be saying "Poor Wales" a lot? I do feel like they held a bit to the amazing ?? last weekend 1d
charl08 @ChaoticMissAdventures yes, sorry! I didnt think anyone else would be watching. Should have put a spoiler alert.⚠️ 1d
ChaoticMissAdventures No! Not at all. I go into every game assuming my team is going to win! I usually check the score before I watch, I am not good with anticipation 😂 1d
LeeRHarry My brother and nephew went to the NZ match last weekend - great atmosphere as always but yes poor Wales - I‘m always supporting them from afar but they aren‘t doing well. 1d

This is just not for me. I am not a fan of teenage narrators - especially outside of YA. Also their dialogue is so out of the realm of how actual young teens speak. #dnf #hailthebail
A #roll100 off the TBR!

A touch boring! I did lots of skimming with this one. Not horrible, not great. (39)
⭐️: 3/5

This is a quick, tense, haunting story about the weight of grief, the emptiness that remains after a death, and how some things refuse to let us logic our way out of them. The story is told from Iðunn's perspective and the author does an excellent job keeping us in the dark as much as Iðunn is.

Photo is from nearly as close to Iceland as I've ever been (the coast of Maine. I've been to PEI, which is even closer, but it doesn't look as moody).

I just totally bombed at a piano recital, so I think I've earned a book and some cider. (If I'd done well (i.e., not completely choked on stage) I would also have earned a book and some cider. The book-and-cider was pretty much a given from the get-go.)

ImperfectCJ So far in the hour or so I've been reading this novella, I've searched "55 kilos to lbs" and "Panodil." And then imagined that I'm from a place where these would be the norm, and I'd have to search "121 lbs to kilos" and...whatever US brand names other countries don't use. I do wish that the US used the metric system, though. 3w
Ruthiella Sorry to hear that. Hope the book and the cider do the trick . ❤️ 📚 🍺 3w

This is a very disturbing little horror novella. The writing is very good, but in the end the book was just missing something for me. It also includes violence against animals, which is a tough one for me. 3⭐️
