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!

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.

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

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.

Vacation book #4

Clwojick Oh my gosh! I totally forgot those candies existed! I used to eat those like crazy as a kid, but I haven‘t seen them in a couple decades. The strawberry ones were so good too. Over here drooling now. 😅 4mo
Clwojick Just checked Amazon, and they‘re $18 for 3 rolls or $40 for a 6oz bag! Whyyyy. 😳😳😳 4mo
LaurenAsh @Clwojick Right! I stumbled across them at a dollar store and grabbed a couple of packs, strawberry included. I can't believe they're so expensive on Amazon! 😫 4mo
Clwojick I‘m going to be hounding all the weird hole-in-the-wall stores for them now! 😂 4mo

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 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.
