#Ironic

This book is exactly what you think it would be: a book about quitting; quitting at the right time. A person named Sandy recommended the writer‘s blog to me. He included a thank you to Sandy, whom he does not know, because he asked me how I heard about this book and I told him through Sandy. About a year, after the signing, many of us discovered that Sandy was quite the toxic person. And, we all “quit her”. Thanks for the book req Sandy. #ironic

Well-ReadNeck 😂🙌🏻 7y
Texreader Wow that‘s quite a story. I take real pleasure recalling the toxic people (the relatively few of them, thank heavens) I have “quit.” There‘s little worse than a toxic person in one‘s life. 7y

"probably more precious than his wife, even though he'd chosen her with the same care as he'd chosen his mule."

Loving the tone of Lydia Salvayre's writing. #ironic #Augustgrrrl day 26 catch-up ? #womenintranslation #witmonth #Spain

I had no idea this book existed!! I love her music and this song! 🎼🎤

#ironic #augustgrrrl

WarpedSweetness I love her music too!! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @WarpedSweetness what happened to her?! I miss her!! 7y
WarpedSweetness @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Me too! According to Wikipedia she is still active. I know she's released music in the last several years. But she's basically faded from the spotlight. 7y

Cinfhen Who knew?!? @dariazeoli mentioned that Alanis has a podcast and just had her second child 👶 👶 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @WarpedSweetness I was just listening to her a couple of days ago wondering where she was!! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen great!! I'll have to try to find it!! 💛 7y

It's a bit ironic as I have listened to The Lost Symbol, the third book in the Robert Langdon series, but own the first book through a book exchange, which I haven't read; yet. Lol

Cinfhen It's ok! Who needs to follow an order?!? 😉 7y
CrowCAH @Cinfhen I agree! The Lost Symbol sounded more up my alley, taking place in DC. 7y
Ms_T In my opinion that's the best book of the trilogy so you chose well! 7y

kezzlou85 Ooh enjoy. This is personally my favourite of the 4 well soon to be 5 books. 7y
jackilynn The 1st book (Angels & Demons) was probably my favorite. I think I read that one all in one day. I do remember actually reading the Da Vinci Code 1st though. It introduced me to the series & the author and I will always be thankful for that. I have now read/own all of his books and sit here eagerly awaiting the next. Enjoy. 7y
kezzlou85 @jackilynn ah yes angels and demons was the first book not da Vinci code. I'm looking forward to origin the new one bring released. 7y

#AugustGrrrl OK, since it's been a crazy week & I'm behind, 😬I'm going to catch up with this musical photo challenge by doing 3 days of prompts in one post. 🤔I think it's #ironic that I've read some of #thebest (in my opinion), WW2 novels the past few months-all with very #brave characters-but I have yet to read any of the bottom 3 hugely popular & acclaimed WW2 books in my #TBR pile.📚Whew! (Drops 🎤wipes brow & walks offstage) 😆#multitasking

Crinoline_Laphroaig Well Done! 7y

It is #ironic that I continue to read this book, even though I've already decided I won't be implementing her KonMari technique to tidy my home the way she suggests. It does have some good suggestions, but she lost me when she said that if you don't read a book as soon as you get it, throw it out. Nope! #augustgrrrl

julesG Well, either she doesn't read much or she has too much free time so she can read a book immediately after she got it. 7y
TrishB Ha ha, nope. 7y
julesG PS: I still haven't read this book, been on my TBR for quite some time now. I think I need to chuck it out. 😝 7y

AmandaL @julesG Ha! That would be ironic! 😆 7y
AmandaL @TrishB Exactly! 7y
Karkar Throw it out 😵😵 7y
AmandaL @Karkar Even the thought of it is shocking! 7y
Sace 😲😲😲😲😲 oh heck no! 7y
AmandaL @RestlessFickleBookSlut I knew my fellow Littens would understand! 7y
Sace @AmandaL I'm all about the life changing magic of surrounding myself with books. 7y
Louise I tried the audiobook and found it a bit too "OCD" for me. I agree with @RestlessFickleBookSlut! ? 7y
LauraBrook For me there were several things I didn't like and couldn't deal with, and it was more about getting me pumped up to clean out the crap that's hidden all over my house. Also, if you live in a house and/or have more than one season, a good chunk of her stuff is just ridiculously wasteful. (edited) 7y
AmandaL @RestlessFickleBookSlut That's magic I can believe in. 7y
AmandaL @Louise Yes! I was thinking that too. I'm not sure if she mentions it in this book, but in the manga version she talks about how her tidying gave her a nervous breakdown! 7y
AmandaL @LauraBrook I completely agree! Not everybody has the luxury of throwing away a winter coat because it doesn't bring them joy. I get not holding on to things you don't use, but the whole philosophy was so wasteful! 7y
Louise @AmandaL I can easily imagine that! I found it so sad to hear about her always organizing her things as a little girl. I wanted to take that little girl outside to play in the mud and climb trees and make friends! Just listening to the audiobook made me a bit nervous for freedom. I just turned it off. My house is a cozy, bookish jumble. 😊 7y
AmandaL @Louise Your house sounds lovely. 😊 7y
Louise 😊Thanks! 7y
Cinfhen Blasphemy 7y
elkeOriginal Guess which book I threw out? This one 😏 7y
AmandaL @elkeo 😂 7y

It's #ironic that when I Googled irony Lemony Snicket and Jane Austen were the literary examples. Happy dance 💃 I have those authors in my home. I would never have thought these two had anything in common! Can you picture Lemony and Jane at a book talk discussion?

#augustgrrrl #ironic Tough one today, so here goes!
I 💗 the 3 'Trip' movies. 2 comedians playing themselves in a kinda faux documentary- Michelin ⭐️food, gorgeous scenery and literary pilgrimages (Coleridge in U.K, Shelley in Italy, & Cervantes in Spain) with 2 middle aged men trying to out do each others celeb impressions! In Italy, they have only one CD in the car- Alanis Morrisette! Funny scene where they critique & singalong to ''Ironic'. 😊

LauraBrook Wait, there's a third movie? How did I miss this?!?! What's the title? 7y
KarenUK Just came out @LauraBrook I went to see it yesterday... 'Trip to Spain' 😊👍 (edited) 7y
LauraBrook @KarenUK Thank you! Will have to see if it's playing near me. 7y
Ms_T Well played! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y
Cinfhen Missed this post - glad I'm playing catch up today 💋💋💋 7y
