Fantastic!!!!!

Starting on this blustery Chicago Saturday morning.

Excited to start.

Loved it! So lyrical. So poetic. So painful.

Spine cracking then vacation bringing! Hoping for some hot stuff!

Still a Highsmith fan.

And we're off! Already feels like it's going to be a wild ride. Better hold on.

As beautiful as expected. I want to see the universe through her eyes. #mermaidtail #naughtydog #saturdaynight

Picked up steam a third of the way in. Compelling but slow.

Who writes sex better? Tell me! 5 billion stars, and then some.

Look what just came in the mail! Yes!

Starting.

Bel Canto still my favorite Patchett. Despite some slow pacing, I enjoyed this.

Night. #crackingspine

Unique narrator/perspective.

Early morning read in my mermaid blanket! So cozy.

Cracking the spine! So excited, but it looks like I need more wine.

Looking forward to THIS story ;-)

Starting.

Loving the humor with which Marquez writes.

Cracking the spine.

More than halfway through this series on audio. Its despicable characters are solidly holding my interest.

I want this shiny new thing! #ooh

Reading Pond by the river in my mermaid leggings. #allwater #pond #imamermaidbytrade

Just starting but already hooked!

Perfect amount of lightness and humor.

Too Manson-like to be unique.

I read Helter Skelter in the front row of Geometry class sophomore year of high school (1976, if you care to know). It scared me sh$tless because it really happened. And the pictures! Yikes! If The Girls wasn't so reminiscent of this crime/era, I might have reacted differently. Anyone else? 3-stars

"Life a continuous backing away from the edge." Isn't it true? The Girls by Emma Cline

Who doesn't want a fresh start like shaking an etch-a-sketch screen? Remember those? This book was light, fresh and exactly what I needed. Lots of laugh out loud moments. Some cringeworthy, too. Great on audio. 4-stars!

Good company.

The calm before the storm. Fourth of July weekend is lurking...

Running errands is FUN!

Now.

Slowly filling beach balls while being entertained by "The Girls".

It turns out I am not a huge e.e. Cummings fan. But I do love me some erotica!

This one is a little dicey to read at the hair salon. Graphic drawings abound!

An hour and a half into listening to this! So far so entertaining and funny!

Just made an evening cocktail! I'm slightly addicted to "The Girls".

Just now starting. Road trip read!
