Audiobooked and skipped a few chapters; needed a “female leader” for the #AsheCoNCReadingChallenge. #June2025 Book52

ChaoticMissAdventures I hate when people say this but I found her lack of humility throughout this book a bit jarring. I felt throughout she was saying never in her career has she made any mistakes. It is a biography and she can portray herself however she wants but I didn't think it was done with much self reflection. 1d

BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - I actually was cognizant of your thoughts on this as I listened. I could agree and yet I also didn‘t get an impression that she was over boastful. And she is right about the current regime wanting to wreck tradition. 1d

BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - reading your comment again: “I hate when people say this” What do people say? Do you mean being critical of women being TOO humble or NOT ENOUGH but men don‘t get the same criticism? 1d

ChaoticMissAdventures @BkClubCare yes, totally, I hate to hear or say that women should be humble, men never get that criticism. I think in general women need to be more loud and proud about their work, but I also think we should own our mistakes. I am glad to hear you don't really agree. I might need to read some of it again. 1d

BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - well, just know… I am not a close follower of her at all. I am newer or lapsed follower of congresspeople in specific. So I really came to this wondering why, for example, my father hates-her-with-a-passion. So I was inclined to like her version of things , ifyouknowwhatImean 😏 1d

ChaoticMissAdventures @BkClubCare ha! Yes the more certain people hate some politicians the more I like them. My big complaint with her is she needs to pass the torch fully. But that is a bigger general political issue. 1d

Uh. . .

What WAS that?!

Cannot wait to discuss this! #CampLitsy2025
#June2025 Book51 (and yes, the plant is called Mouse Barley (aka Foxtail) which the bane of dog paws 🐾 everywhere and it is horrifically prolific this year in my neighborhood!)

BkClubCare Notes to self: really impressed with the writing, the style, the sentence structure and vocabulary. It felt like either 2 versions of a story, or unreliable narrator, or delusions vs exploring alternate realities, or two different stories!! But wowza. Never bored (tho I could imagine a few of my reader friends HATING it 😂) 1d

Ruthiella My backyard is full of foxtails. It‘s a never ending battle in the summer and the weeds usually win. We‘ve been to the vet already once to get Penny‘s ears checked. 1d

ChaoticMissAdventures Foxtails are a cure!! I am really curious for people on this book... Have you ever read Mona Award? 1d

squirrelbrain I‘m looking forward to the discussions, and hopefully some answers too! 🤪 1d

BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - yes! I have read 2 of Awad‘s, I think. She seems more straightforward or I plugged into her whacky more? All good. I liked Kitamura‘s prior book - similar vibe. 1d

BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - the stickers get into Copper‘s paws like magnets. 1d

ChaoticMissAdventures @BkClubCare I meant curse! Silly autocorrect. I don't have dogs but I walk my bff's often and learned about them when she got the dog. Awful things! I just found the dream like quality of Audition to feel (to me) similar to cannot wait to discuss!

One Dark Window | Rachel Gillig

“‘There once was a girl,‘ he murmured, ‘clever and good, who tarried in shadow in the depths of the wood. There also was a King-a shepherd by his crook, who reigned over magic and wrote the old book. The two were together, so the two were the same: the girl, the King…and the monster they became.‘”
