mcctrish All of a sudden the randomness has a Lark Rise vibe #iykyk 3d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish it really does 🤣 3d
willaful Man, what a depressing chapter. I hope Esther is going to get some help but I kind of doubt it. :-\ 3d
BarkingMadRead @willaful I‘m worried that she will think she doesn‘t need it 3d
Deblovestoread Mrs. Kravitz! 3d
Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead Same! Or that the shrink will be terrible… 3d
Bookwormjillk I‘m with you all hoping she gets the help she needs. 3d
tpixie @Deblovestoread 😝 @BarkingMadRead Mrs Kravitz!!! 🧙 I LOVED Bewitched 3d
willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I think it's almost guaranteed that the shrink will be terrible. 😞 3d
Deblovestoread I loved Bewitched, too! @tpixie I was glad the family doc didn‘t just throw more pills at her. Hopefully her referral is a good one! 2d
dabbe Esther has never had anything below an “A“ in her life. She wins contests, too. Not getting into the summer class was her complete undoing. I'm almost scared now to read more.

BTW, do they live in a house in Boston? If so, why do the mom and Esther share the same bedroom? Or am I wrong in that assumption?
2d
TheAromaofBooks Waaaaaayy too casual about eating raw hamburger + raw egg 😂 2d
ElizaMarie Buddy !!! #RunForYourLifeNurse !! Hopefully he doesn't seduce that poor nurse who he “falls in love“ with. I mean. poor girl to be sucked into him! I am #proud Ester put her foot down with that one! 2d
julieclair @mcctrish Maybe the Lark Rose vibe was why Esther got on my last nerve in this chapter! 😂. But then I reached the end of the chapter and felt guilty about her getting on my nerves. She does need someone who can help her. I do hope the psychiatrist turns out to be a good one. But I'm fearful 8h

Sorry campers, but I‘m out. I made it 1/4 of the way through and even switching to audio is not helping. It‘s so uncomfortable to read and the MC is insufferable. Fingers crossed for the next one. #camplitsy24 #allhailthebail #nope

TheBookHippie I just bailed I cannot .. 7mo
dabbe #allhailthebailindeed! I'm not even gonna try! 😂😂😂 7mo
BarbaraJean Thank you for reaffirming the decision I made a couple weeks ago to pass on this one!! 7mo
TrishB Agreed 👍🏻 7mo

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie that would change everything 🤣 13mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie I'm thinking we'll definitely need it for the next chapter because Dmitri ain't finished with his speech. 😳 13mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe #sendhelp 🤣🤣 I feel like we are being set up for disaster 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ 13mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead I think you're right! 🤩😍😃 13mo
Bookwormjillk I knew that we were in trouble as soon as it said “In verse“ 13mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe 🥃🥃 cheers 13mo
Cuilin @dabbe @TheBookHippie My ADHD is screaming Mitya get to the point. I may join you with the cognac. 🥃 13mo
mcctrish @TheBookHippie I think drinking in general is recommended 13mo
mcctrish @Cuilin “I will explain everything “ and yet say nothing at all despite All Of The Words being used 🤦🏻‍♀️ 13mo
mcctrish I have to say the little house at the back of the garden is my favourite character so far (edited) 13mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 13mo
Cuilin @mcctrish yes! He used All the words. And we are none of the wiser. Grrr. 13mo
5feet.of.fury @Cuilin same thoughts 13mo
5feet.of.fury I skimmed this chapter, got to “To insects- sensuality!” Really questioning my life choices here haha 13mo
dabbe I just love this group. 🤩😂😍 13mo
Ruthiella Glad that I am not the only person who has no clue what Mitya is getting at. I have a feeling if I knew Russian even and could read it in the original, I‘d still be none the wiser. 😆 13mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig ?"I‘m not drinking, I‘m just relishing,....I‘m not drunk at all. Cognac is cognac, but I need two bottles to get drunk"— ? 13mo
Aimeesue @TheBookHippie Can confirm: bourbon def helps. It also makes me want to dress up penguins, so that explains that! 😂 13mo

Because no one has ever heard of “Hickory Dickory Dock,” “Little Miss Muffet,” “Jack and Jill Went Up The Hill,” or even “There Was an Old Man from Nantucket,” we have to have this sappy... I don‘t even know what to call this. Was she drinking (as she suggested - liquid courage and all) when she wrote this?

• Sadly, a #DNF for me. I was in over my head trying to understand what Neitzsche was writing. Shame because I like #philosophy and would like to explore his work. Maybe I'll try another of his or revisit this one in the future, but it's not for me right now •

3 / 25

2 / 5 ⭐️

• Oh yeah, I forgot to mention how random and pointless this story seemed to me 🤨 2 / 5 ⭐️ for being Stephen King and that's probably not a good enough reason •

Bailedbailed

• Bailed at 20% on audiobook. I had really high hopes for this one but it missed the mark for me completely. I was hoping for a mature, reflective memoir of the impact and importance of books in the author's life, not a sarcastic romp through the stacks with unnecessary vulgarity and a pleading attempt at humor. I guess the author's tone wasn't respectful enough for me. Maybe audio wasn't the right format •

AmyK1 I read the physical book and felt the exact same way. Very disappointing. 5y
bibliobliss @AmyK1 So much potential but indeed very disappointing 5y
Bette I had to bail on the book as well. I had the same expectations as you. 📚😐 5y
bibliobliss @Bette ☹️ I really didn't want to bail but I couldn't continue 5y

NOPE!

I remember my daughter used to have these books but I never read them first. I should have. Junie B Jones irritated me to no end and it was all I could do to get through it. This is a kid I would probably slap

#WinterGames #JingleBallers #Nope #HolidayReads

21pts

LibrarianRyan That was a popular opinion when the books were hot. For parents who thought Junie B was too snotty, we would recommend Clementine. Such cute books. They are the same reading level where Romana is a few levels ups. 5y
TheLudicReader I loved Junie. I could barely get through them, I laughed so hard. 5y

Sorry, unknown numbers do not get answered by this girl.

While the phone call set up is a bit of a stretch in this day and age I‘m really enjoying this so far.

Just NO! This is a definite no for me. I did not like this book. Let me say I had no issue with the taxidermy or the suicide. But the descriptions about how dirty Jessa was were too much along with Brynn. There were too many details and not enough aha moments. The characters are all confused leaving the reader confused. Jessa treats her mother as a non person. She‘s sleeping with her brother‘s wife.

kindergartenkat I was wondering about your rating of this one. It‘s been on my TBR. I wondered why you didn‘t like it. I‘m glad you shared here! 6y
jb72 @kindergartenkat Yeah I was unsure how I was going to rate it at first (1 or 2 stars). I haven‘t really thought of my full review yet for GR. I normally don‘t like to “hate” on a book, but honestly this book is just not very good. 6y
