897 pages later, and I am a better person for it. Masterful, brilliant, heart wrenching, full of anger and sadness and wit and humor. I absolutely loved it. And yep, I know this much is true 😉
(Side note: Wally Lamb lists Mrs. Piggle Wiggle as the first book he read that inspired his writing life. I LOVED Mrs. PW 😊♥️).

Ruthiella I too adored Mrs. Piggle Wiggle as a child. I re-read them a few years ago and still found them delightful. ❤️ 1d

AmyG I love Mrs Piggle Wiggle! My Mom used to read those to me. 1d

CBee @Ruthiella @AmyG ♥️♥️♥️ I might need to find them and read them again! 1d

so-so

Grabbed this at a sale because I'd seen it mentioned in my fb book groups. Started reading it and thought it was giving David Sedaris kinda vibes. Less than halfway through, I figured out what was going on and had an inclination of how it could end. Definitely a Fight Club type of vibe book. Not stellar, but good. 3 star

Natural Disaster | Ginger Zee

Our house got hit with the major storms that came through West TX over the last couple of days. Unfortunately, my office took the worst of it. I managed to save all the books that got wet and, with the major help that you see here, found the bright side and rearranged my shelves while I was putting them back up. Now, I just have to finish cleaning & wait for insurance to replace windows, roof, paint, etc… It could have been much worse, though.

Men Have Called Her Crazy: A Memoir | Anna Marie Tendler

A portion of the tagged book made my eyes all sweaty. She was talking about the loss of her much loved dog.

Most books won‘t make me cry but portions will get me teary eyed.

The Fake: A Novel | Zoe Whittall

Page-turning! Two people, a newly divorced 40-year-old straight guy (Gibson), and a 30-something lesbian (Shelby), whose wife has died recently and unexpectedly, get drawn in by a charismatic pathological liar and only figure it out after they meet. Femme dyke, anxiety, and grief representation with Shelby are extremely well done. I love Whittall's #queer characters, because they feel so much like the queer people I know IRL. Great #audiobook!

The Fake: A Novel | Zoe Whittall

Oof I forgot how real Zoe Whittall's descriptions of anxiety are, so real it is hard to read sometimes as someone with anxiety. You can tell she is so familiar with it.
