pickI‘m late to the party with this….but this book is fantastic. I don‘t think I‘ll ever forget Demon Copperhead. It‘s touched on so many devastating social issues but remained uplifting!
Brilliant writing ❤️

pickHilarious & heartbreaking.
Omg, that took a lot of doing! Am very proud of myself to have received my 200 reviews badge on NetGalley.
My rating, however, has fallen from an already pitiful 30% to 21% so I've still got a lot of work to do !

pickThe author covers a year in his life as an anti-social behaviour officer in a very similar style to Adam Kay's accounts of being a junior doctor. His stories range from bizarre and hilarious to some that are desperately sad. I thought he walked the line between compassion and humour very well.
Despite the warmth and humour it is largely written with the subject matter is tough, including real accounts of drug use, homelessness and abuse.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Loving this one so far and enjoyed seeing this passage from when the author was talking to a co-worker. It's the exact same 'why would you do that..?' tone that I have had from some family and friends when they hear what I've done with my spare time.
'So you just sat in on Friday night reading a book...and that's it?'
1. Just be yourself and don‘t worry about whether people like you.
2. I like to dress as my cat for Halloween, even at work.

So I've blogged on Wordpress for over ten years. Recently, they switched to the Block Editor, which I absolutely hate. You can kind of use the Classic Editor but it's a hassle to get to. Today when I logged on the entire dashboard has been completely “updated“ & is an absolute nightmare. For instance, I have individual pages to link to books I've reviewed by specific authors. Those are now listed by which ones have been most recently updated ⬇
This was good, but not sure I was in the head space for such a research focused book. Book club pick.
