Anyone else hate how this book makes you feel? Aka skeezy and uncomfortable?

Nothing like waking up at 4 am to finish a book because you can‘t bear to work another day without knowing the ending. 😭 and then subsequently crying all morning. I haven‘t cried this much since The Book Thief.

That‘s me, I‘m everyone. 😂

1. I love snow; especially the way it makes everything feel, so new and fresh.
2. Staying inside and looking at it? What I mean when I love snow is that I like to LOOK at it. No part of me wants to be outside in it.

Kurt Vonnegut will forever be my favorite. **

@Moonprismpower it‘s the best I could get 😹 She is not about photos.

I made my cat a bed and it‘s legit the funniest thing I‘ve seen all year. (Is my life sad or what?)

I‘m home in bed with what I hope is a sinus infection 🤞I figured why not do some knitting whole I listen to this quirky book.

I FINALLY got a Dalmatian Crested Gecko. I‘ve been wanting one for so long. I named him Pongo. Get it… 101 Dalmatians…? Hahaha.

Ew. Ew. Ew. 1/2 ⭐️

It‘s like she‘s trying to teach a lesson about “boys being boys.” But she only uses her last breath to say “don‘t do that.” The whole book follows jerk characters doing jerk things. Described as a slow burn but it was more like someone rubbed my eyes with IcyHot.

New house. New town. New library.

It‘s tiny, but it‘s mine (and you know, the whole town‘s)

1. My kids go back to school 🤪
2. Chi tea. But I drink it all year.
3. I haven‘t had it yet. This week had been a challenge and that‘s putting it nicely.
4. My friends. That have pulled me through so much this year.

She lives! …I live? I‘m alive… still. Again.

True story. This summer was hard. I missed Litsy. I missed my pen pals. I missed it all. But I‘m back for now (at least until the next mental crisis).

Hi friends. 😌

Weird af, man. But I liked it (just not as much as hitchhikers)

Happy Mother‘s Day to me!

It has sides y‘inz. They‘re see-through but I swear they‘re there. It just needs some shelves and a door and we‘re done!!!! Well. Some decorations too.

I‘m so excited that I‘ve already gotten another newspaper box to make one for our campground!

3/5

So thankful for this light, quick read after all the heavy stuff I‘ve been reading. I went into expecting a fan fiction feel, so I wasn‘t disappointed by it like some people. The humor and love was strong with this one.

This was a good, fast read. I‘m pretty surprised that the reviews are so bad! Good characters. Crazy plot. I sped through this one.

Starting our little library adventure!! Hopefully this abandoned newspaper box will become our family‘s contribution to reading this summer!! 📚

This one is a slooooooooowwww read. The payoff wasn‘t there to finish it. It may be a good story, but I‘ll never know. 1/3 in and all I know is no one knows anything and Axl looks like somebody that somebody used to know. The author doesn‘t drop enough breadcrumbs to make this interesting enough to follow.
(I will say the art for the book on google makes it seem a lot more interesting than what I read...)

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Autism ACCEPTANCE is hella important to me 24/7/365/eternity. With two boys on the spectrum, I feel like I spend so much time explaining (read: defending) behaviors and quirks to the world. While we might seem ‘lucky‘ that they‘re both high-functioning, that just makes their disability that much more hidden. Autism isn‘t always obvious. You never know what‘s going on in a family, so please just be kind and compassionate. 💙💙

I couldn‘t decide what to read next... so Instagram picked for me. Woman 99 it is!

All packed for my mini-vacation!

Legit the most fun I‘ve had reading this year. This book was so fast paced and although I guessed some stuff early on, I NEVER would have figured out how it tied all together. 5/5. Highly recommend for a quick, fun mystery.

3.5/5

Right between a so-so and a pick. Not my favorite novel by the author. Definitely some good twists, but also some loose ends that bugged me.

This haul might have been excessive... whoops.

I freaking love page holders. Why didn‘t I get one sooner?!

I‘ll be real, it was a painful read. I enjoyed the story, but the language was so overwhelming. You could drown in the ocean of adjectives used in this book. I liked the back door look at Shakespeare. I love Agnes. I appreciated Hamnet and Judith‘s relationship. I‘m just not sure I‘d pick up another Maggie O‘Farrell novel.

Help me choose my next read!

Amazing story with red herrings galore. I really enjoyed this book and finished most of it in one day. I couldn‘t put it down. I HAD to know how it ended. Highly suggest for anyone who needs an easy but entertaining suspense.

Hamnet was getting a bit tedious (good, but slow), so I grabbed one of my go-to genres to break it up. #suspense #thriller #murder #crimejunkie

I got another new plant 💁🏻‍♀️ might have a problem.

Taco hates everything today. So we‘re cuddled up on the couch reading 🥰

(He has a vascular tumor that he keeps scratching and getting blood everywhere. Harmless but terrifying)

New book. New bookmark. Living my best life.

p.s. one of my husband‘s coworkers noticed my new sign before he did 😂😂😂

#audioknitting a baby blanket! 🧶

I am usually not a soapbox kind of person. But everyone should read this book. Whether you have a child with special needs or not, you will laugh and cry, and hopefully understand. Sometimes having a child with a hidden disability makes me feel so alone... and judged... and crazy. But this book actually makes me feel normal for once. If I could buy a million copies and hand them out on the street, I would.

Shut Up About Your Perfect Kid!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It probably didn‘t need to be quite so long, but it was a good suspense story. I‘ll be grabbing more D.D. Warren novels!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Willow Chance is an inspiration and uniter of lost souls. I loved every second of this novel. It was lyrical and perfect in its simplicity. She tackles a main character on the spectrum respectfully and with grace. Highly recommend this quick read.

My #botm box came!

I needed this. 😌

I got what I hope ends up being a funny and insightful book at the library today. I need it. With everything still in limbo from covid, my little guy with autism is really struggling and so am I. 😒 I also got a heart cactus just because it was cute. I shouldn‘t be allowed in a greenhouse unsupervised.

So. I went into this book without reading the book-blurb or any reviews. I grabbed it based on its cover really. I don‘t know what I was expecting, but it wasn‘t this. Once I got into it, I finished it pretty quickly. The unnamed girlfriend, Jake, the brother I‘m still not sure exists 😳 it‘s a crazy, but good read. I think I‘m going to have to read it again to get all the details I missed.
