Did I spend allllll day in town waiting on my car being serviced? Yes I did. And I also have to go back as my maintenance contract won‘t pay for something that needs replacing. BUT all is not lost!

I am behind the times but today I discovered there is a fruits basket sequel and the shop I was in had all 4 🎉

Heaven, by Mieko Kawakami (2009, transl. 2021)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: Two bullied Japanese teenagers form a tenuous friendship.

Review: This was a very hard read. The descriptions of the bullying the two main characters experience are vivid and intense, and increase in severity as the book goes on. ⬇️

Mattsbookaday The protagonist is uncertain at how to understand his experiences, while other characters provide chilling alternatives, from complete nihilism to an almost religious significance. The book rejects such perspectives but without offering any ideas of its own. It does however leave the protagonist in a place of discovery and enhanced agency, suggesting a bit of hopefulness at the end of this otherwise bleak novel. 5d

Born in the wrong decade —
awkward, out of place — ready
to travel through time.

Been feeling this way since high school. Where‘s my time machine? 🤔

AnnCrystal A time machine would be lovely. I've been obsessed with time machines since I was a kid. I even wrote one into my duology. When a teenager, I once worked on dollar store clocks until I figured out how to make them tick backwards 😂. 👏🏼🐝👍🏼☺️🐝💝. 2w
JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal that is so cool!! I‘ve been obsessed with time traveling since watching Back To The Future when I was a kid (over and over and over again 😵‍💫) — that and when Steve Urkel made a time machine and became Stefan Urkelle 😆😅😅 And now I get my fix with Outlander and Kelley Armstrong books. Nerds unite!! 🤓📚🤓🤗♥️♥️♥️ 2w

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🤩 love the “Back to the Future“ movies 💝💝💝... love almost any time travel movie and story.

Some time ago, I was excited about the Outlander series showing reruns on TV. When I started watching it...it took way too long to figure out that I was actually watching Highlander 😂 which I used to watch as a kid, so don't ask me why i was so easily fooled 😂🎬💝...

AnnCrystal I will catch Outlander one day...😂...or I will stumble across a book. 2w
JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal lol you just made me snort!! 😅😅😅 I can so see myself doing something like that. Outlander will scratch all of your time traveling itches. I love Diana Gabaldon‘s spin on time travel. Very clever and high stakes, smack dab in the middle of all of these major historical events. Very spicy if you don‘t mind such things! 2w
AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 😂👌🏼 I can't wait to be able to watch Outlander 🤩👍🏼🎬💝...I searched clips in the past, and it seem oh too good indeed ☺️💝. 2w
dabbe I feel the same way! Oh, and OUTLANDER. I have all of the (ahem) interesting sections marked for rereading purposes. 🤩😍🤩 2w
lil1inblue I often feel that way! What a great expression of it! 💓 1w

A typical Jilly Cooper romp, but at over 1,000 pages, it felt way too long for its genre!

As a member of the mixtape generation, I am compelled to say that this playlist is a work in progress. There's some "transitions" I need to fill in yet. ?

If everyone yells,

Food for thought.
