I'm not sure I like the blurb for #TheMotherInLaw - it feels like it's trying to sensationalize an extremely moving story about the power of bitterness and the effects it has on families. I am a Diana, not a Lucy, and I felt #seen by her struggles as a #singlemother. I also understand how difficult it can be to love someone who is endlessly practical, doling out the right kinds of #toughlove. #booknerdreads

Enjoying some tea while dear daughter scrambled to get out the door and to her bus stop on time. I refuse to help on days she doesn‘t get out of bed with her alarm.

To her credit, she didn‘t get mad at my nonchalance. 😂 #toughlove

This choose your own adventure book is fun!

Bkwurm Woo Mama, it‘s hard not to help sometimes! But good for you, you‘re doing the right thing in the long run! Is that the book the Lost In Austen miniseries is based on? I never knew it was CYOA!! 5y
alisiakae @Bkwurm it‘s not easy! No, this book is unrelated to the tv series. It turns the original story into a CYOA. I just married Mr. Collins and then proceeded to accidentally kill him by throwing a book at his head. 😂 5y
Bkwurm @4thhouseontheleft I think you just partially lived every P&P reader‘s dream! 🤣🤣 5y

My first skipped month, ever. I'm tired of seeing unread #botm selections pile up month after month, so my new policy is that I'm allowed to choose as many books as I read the previous month, minus one. Since I didn't get around to reading any botm books in May, I'm sitting out the June selections.

Cinfhen Oooh, #toughlove I like it!!! 6y
2BR02B @Cinfhen Not gonna lie, it was easier to skip this month because I'm not really dying to read any of the selections. Next month I might not have the willpower! 😆 6y
Lovesbooks87 That's a good idea. I told myself that I can only buy as many as I read the Month before. 6y
Reviewsbylola I love your self control! I don‘t have any. 😂 6y
2BR02B @Reviewsbylola Thank you! It took nearly two years and 60ish unread books to establish! 😆 6y
