She's Come Undone | Wally Lamb
post image

This book has been on my #tbr for about two decades. Finally cracked the spine and, three chapters in, it‘s entertaining and depressing. I can‘t help but feel sorry for the traumatized, smart-mouthed pre-teen protagonist.

Looking at reviews, this seems to be a novel that people either love or hate. If you‘ve read it, did you love it or hate it?

BarbaraJean I read it years ago, but I still remember it vividly! I don‘t know if I could say I loved it (lots of it was very difficult emotionally)—but it was absolutely amazing. I remember being blown away that it was written by a man! 6h
AmyG I couldn‘t tell you what it‘s about. I only remember loving it. 5h

Currently reading this historical fiction ghost story about a 1950‘s reform school for boys in Jim Crow Florida.

Hard to put this one down!

@OriginalCyn620 thanks for the tag!

So, back in the early 2000‘s, my three favorite movies were probably:

- Under the Tuscan Sun
- A Walk to Remember
- Joy Ride

I graduated high school in 2002 🤷‍♀️😂

1. My reading goal for 2024 is to read 40 books because I turned 40 this year. (I‘m currently at 36/40 🙌)

2. I‘m such a moody reader that I rarely stick to the plan lol. But I‘m totally okay with that.

3. It‘s opened my mind and heart, allowing me to better empathize with other people‘s experiences, perspectives, and challenges. Also, reading is just so much fun!

readmyeyes @Eggs Exactly! My future retirement goal of basically just reading books all the time aligns perfectly with this haha. 1w

It‘s pretty great when a new audiobook has you cracking up and you‘ve only listened to 1% so far. 😆

This workplace dramedy has some dark comedy Office Space vibes for sure! ☎️🖥️ And a great narrator!

Weekend Reads question - how do you all do that cool background with pictures of the books you‘re reading? Im technically challenged lol 🤦‍♀️

julieclair This sounds great! Stacked. As for the book posts, I use the PicCollage app. It‘s pretty easy to learn. I used the free version for quite awhile, then finally upgraded to the paid version because I wanted more options. 2w
readmyeyes @julieclair Very cool, I‘ll check it out! 😁 2w
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Canva is also a great editing app. I only use the free version and have never run out of options. 1w
readmyeyes @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Ooh thank you for the tip! 1w

I‘m really enjoying this gothic fantasy novel I checked out on Libby. It took me a few chapters to get into it and now I can‘t stop listening. 🎧📖🏰🃏
