Earthlings | Sayaka Murata

pick

A surreal, dreamlike read about childhoods full of abuse - emotional, mostly, but not exclusively – and how that shapes the future of the people affected.
Natsuki is a pensive child who feels she doesn't fit in – into her family as a child, into society and human life as an adult. The childhood friendship/relationship with her cousin Yuu and her family's reaction to an occurrence on a summer night affects & alters her whole life.
...

Yuki_Onna Disconnectedness, aliens, humanity, sexuality, escapism, pressures and expectations of society, family ties gone wrong, fertility, different ways of perception, dreams, murder, detachedness, pure concepts of life on this planet, delusion, cannibalism all blend together in this brutal disgusting gorgeous gem of a book. Dark, brave, gritty.
4,5****
(check for your Trigger Warnings before picking it up - there are tons of them!!!)

The Tao of Pooh | Benjamin Hoff, Ernest Howard Shepard

Wow, into stereotypes much?! This sounds like Sheldon Cooper, not the vast majority of real life academics. So being a jerk about mental illnesses and disparaging anyone who isn‘t just like you is Taoist now? Ugh. 😣 Is Benjamin Hoff a Republican? (Yes, I went there.)

GingerAntics Now I‘m supposed to believe that Winnie the Pooh knows and uses the word “desiccated”? Seriously. Maybe Pooh Bear can tell this pompous, self righteous writer that paragraphs cannot start with BUT!!! 🙄 2y

Chrissyreadit Maybe this is not a good book ?😫 2y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I heard such good things about it, but this entire week‘s chapters seem to be nothing but bigotry and stereotypes. I‘m with you on this. I don‘t think this book is as good as it was made out to be or we thought it was after last week. 2y

Didn't See That Coming: Putting Life Back Together When Your World Falls Apart | Rachel Hollis

bailed

Won‘t be wasting my “dumb” earned money on this book! How could she bite the hand that fed her MILLIONS?! To call network marketing dumb, after speaking at events and supporting women in this industry....THATS dumb. Praying for the millions of women in DS who looked up to her and prayed for her, that are now heartbroken and disappointed. Definitely wouldn‘t want to be her waking up today. I bet she “Didn‘t See That Coming” #Disgusting

ItsAnotherJen I wasn't a fan of Girl Wash Your Hair, so I definitely won't be reading this one! I felt like she talks down to her reader. Not impressed. 4y

Alora @ItsAnotherJen Oh I agree and this one is way worse. Her followers are going to drop drastically lol she reallllly messed up. 4y

ItsAnotherJen Oh..shoot! I messed up that title @Alora 😅😅 its 'Girl, Wash Your Face' not wash your hair 🙃🤦‍♀️ 4y

Amandajoy 🤦🏼‍♀️. There‘s really nothing else to say. 4y

GingerAntics @Amandajoy right? I‘m not sure I have words. Just... 🤦🏼‍♀️. And maybe “I want my money back.” 4y

Amandajoy Yes. There‘s something I‘d really like my taxes not to go to. 4y

GingerAntics @Amandajoy I‘d like to have my tax money not go to some other things as well, but this just about tops the list. 4y

The Golden Compass: His Dark Materials | Philip Pullman

The church in this story is separating children from their SOULS and Christians all over are saying this book is bad because people want to stop this practice. Blindly following the church is more important to both Protestants and Catholic‘s. That‘s just disgusting.

Boy Erased: A Memoir of Identity, Faith and Family | Garrard Conley

This is disheartening. How many men, how many boys, have been assaulted by this jerk, by “David” simply because no one was willing to speak up?
