Attempting to read a physical book with a needy pug, who always wants to be in your business, is truly an accomplishment. 😂🖤

Spending some time this morning taste testing some books on my physical shelf that I‘m thinking might be a DNF & Donate. Normally I‘ll know within 100 pages is I want to read on, or give up. Next up: Mount Pleasant.

This is a book everyone should read! David Graeber dismantles the myth of barter so effectively that he makes it looks easy to unriddle centuries of lies about money. I‘m surprised this isn‘t on the top of the banned book list; the ideas are revolutionary and refreshing. But maybe most people aren‘t interested in reading a 500+ page book about money and debt (they should!). Worth it in every way!! 💰 💸

These were so good I need more!!!😭 They are very reminiscent of Studio Ghibli‘s Spirited Away but with a romance as a major theme (which I‘m dying for it to develop a little faster…). I love the characters, especially the Ōdanna and I can‘t wait for Aoi to catch some serious feels because the Ōdanna‘s flirtations are cracking me up! I know the anime was never completed so I‘m desperately hoping the same fate won‘t befall the manga. I‘m obsessed!

This was first published in 2010 but was just re-released yesterday. Audio narration was excellent and the story had a lot going for it. Towards the middle it lost some of its charm but ultimately the book proved to be satisfying. The story of a family dealing with financial, emotional and spiritual challenges that continue to ripple over the decades. Writing was fresh & clever in some spots, but at other times it became more of a challenge.

Did anyone know a new Gabrielle Zevin novel came out today?? Apparently I preordered this audio( and another) and I couldn‘t be happier!!! This one is GREAT so far ☺️ #TreatYoSelf
****UPDATE***** This book is apparently a re-release 🤷🏼‍♀️but I‘m still enjoying it 💕

Ahhh, I'm so excited for my #fridaycomics read! I picked up a manga at Barnes and Noble earlier this week and have been saving it for a cozy Friday moment! Cozy Socks? ✔️ Cup of tea? ✔️ Soft couch? ✔️ I really like this series a lot and highly recommend it!
