I wasn't sure what to expect of Samantha Irby, but I loved this. Funny jokes, self-deprecating humor and crazy situations, followed by unexpected tenderness and the relatable pains of being a woman. I did especially laugh out loud about her devil cat!

Sigh. Depressing.

Another super slow reading month in October, but I have some different kinds of reads lined up for November. Hopefully, I can get through more books than usual.

Actually, super interesting. I'm trying to remember all the details...

"I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think death as the same state."

The one where Claire's personality becomes Jamie. My least favorite, so far, as was this season of the show.

A very slow reading month...hoping to pick it up and finish more in October.

Finally read this one...very good, very sad.

Not the usual genre I pick up, but it was a quick, easy read.

Much more than I expected, in a good way. Delicious descriptions of food combined with the difficulties and loneliness of being an American living in France, gives this memoir depth.

The best kind of day ❤️📚📚

August round-up of completed reads: I inadvertently made it a month of women authors...love that! The tagged book was my personal pick.

Last book of the month!

Surprisingly relevant to my life right now, I found this very touching and relatable.

Vacation book #4

Beach vacation book #3

Beach vacation book #2

Beach vacation book #1

New books (for me 😁)!

My favorite so far...This season of the show was also my favorite.

I. Loved. This. Book. I loved it so MUCH.

Sad, and creepy, and dark.

Sunglasses Day...this cover immediately popped into my head!

Flying through this series mostly thanks to the audiobook.

Pink flamingo day!

Very interesting travel memoir.

And in honor of Father's Day, Mr. Atticus Finch.

I...liked it, I think. At times, I felt it was boring, mundane, ugh Charlie (W.) Blackwell. But I think I liked it.

Cat weekend. 😻

Quick, follow the money thriller.

Switching between the audio book and the big paperback.

Lots of bath time reading lately...this was a fun one!

Has this book been turned into a movie yet? How has this book not been turned into a movie?! I couldn't stop reading. It was beautiful and painful.

I finished this book in a day...I can't remember the last time that happened.

I can't find the book we read, but why not celebrate multiple donut books! We read so many children's books in my house that I would never be able to keep up with them on here, but this book is soooo cool and made me sooo hungry for a pink frosted donut with sprinkles.

It's been a while since I picked up and read some short stories but this was a wonderful reintroduction. The title story is heartbreaking.

I love this book.

I did NOT end up agreeing with the review someone left in the title pages (previous post). In fact, I really liked this book and I was a little sad it isn't part of a series.

I opened up my copy and saw this note on the first page...this is a library book, ma'am (or sir)! 😂

I needed a light, entertaining book like this to read right now. Hit that spot!

Lovely Sunday morning reading ❤️

The history of ballet is very long, so this book is long, too. I am glad that I read it, but also glad that I am done with it.

Taking the opportunity to read outside on this nice day (in the shade). 🌞😎

Final sandy beach book...not completed on the beach, but this book brought some sand home!

Second sandy beach book DONE 🩴🐚🏖️

My first Joan Didion.

I wanted a little more at the end, but it satisfied my craving for a twisty, creepy mystery.

This book reminded me of this poem (from where I'm assuming it takes its title 😀)
