We do not care that we have seen all of the episodes of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel many times. After watching the news lately, we need some Midge and Susie time. It‘s either this or Someone, Somewhere or Ru Paul. . .

1. We do not care that our face gets especially rosy at night. It‘s nature‘s makeup 😂
2. We do not care that we do not care about shaving. Our back hurts and we don‘t feel like doing it.
3. We do not care that there seem to be more mean people in the world now than kind. We do not care that empathy seems to be a bad word. We‘ll keep being kind. #wdncw @dabbe

CatLass007 1. ? 2. I totally agree I totally agree! 3. I do care, but I will continue to be kind and try not to be sad. 2mo

dabbe #1: Santa approves! 🎅🏻
#2: Who said we had to be hairless? #itsamyth #youdoyou

AnnCrystal 👸👏🏼🥳👌🏼💝... empathy 🙏🏼... kindness can bewilder evil. 2mo

LiseWorks I agree. People have no patience anymore. They get upset or offended over the smallest thing. Sometimes, I just don't want to be around people. My books are more friendly. 2mo

CBee @CatLass007 it‘s difficult to say that I don‘t care about #3, because I really do care? I guess what I mean by that is, I can‘t control the mean people, but I can control myself (mostly 😂). I won‘t allow myself to be anything but kind, because I don‘t know how to be anything else. 2mo

CBee @dabbe hahahaha luckily I‘m not quite as rosy as Santa. Get me out in the heat though and all bets are off 😂😂♥️♥️ You rock my world too!! 😊😊 2mo

CBee @LiseWorks I 100% agree!!! 2mo

Sace I‘m with you on 3. But I‘m gonna keep on being kind. 2mo

CBee @Sace we‘ll kill em with kindness ♥️♥️ 2mo

CBee @Eggbeater right back at ya ♥️♥️♥️ 2mo

CBee @lil1inblue you‘re right! Thank you for reminding me of that ♥️ 2mo

CatLass007 @CBee a wonderful response! @lil1inblue kindness is most definitely resistance! 2mo

Books! Books! Books!: Explore the Amazing Collection of the British Library | Mick Manning

#WDNCW that I bought 4 books last week while on vacation & came home to 2 more that I had ordered before we left. The TBR pile grows bigger. Trying to focus more on reading & learning rather than being on social media & watching the sh!t show.

dabbe

Aims42 Were the 2 books you ordered ahead of time pre-orders? Those definitely don‘t negatively impact you 😆 Either way, I fully support you in this “we don‘t care” post because readers gonna read 🤓 And to quote Sebastian from ‘The Little Mermaid‘, “The human world is a mess” 🦀🧜🏻‍♀️🔥 2mo

KadaGul @Aims42 Nailed it 🎯 2mo

Aims42 @TheBookHippie @KadaGul #Justified 👩‍⚖️👍 2mo

ncsufoxes @Aims42 they were not but one I‘ve been trying to find (All in Her Head) & a book by Jill Lepore. But I was ordering a cookbook that I had found at the library & wanted to buy a copy for home. So that was my justification to buy 2 more books. The books I bought on vacation were my souvenirs, 3 of the 4 were also signed by the authors. I did give my sister a pile of books, so I got a few out of the house. 2mo

Aims42 @ncsufoxes Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice 😎 #justified 2mo

AnnCrystal 👸👏🏼🥳👌🏼📚💝. 2mo

dabbe OMG! Beyond L😍VE this!! I embrace the extra books and escapism from it all! #youdoyou! ✊🏻💙✊🏻 2mo

1. We Do Not Care if you do not approve of pitbulls. Our dog happens to be a squishy marshmallow who thinks she's a pug dog. We could not love her more. #pitbullsoflitsy

2. We Do Not Care that we have to hire people to clean our home every month. We are disabled and it would not otherwise get clean. Also, we always tip well. We Do Not Care that we can't afford it. We are a princess, damn it!

Lesliereadsalot Hurrah for princesses! 👑👸 2mo

dabbe #1 Dogs behave based on how they're treated. Doesn't matter if their a pit bull, a Doberman, or a toy poodle. What's your pup's name? Sending squishy kisses! 🖤🐾🖤
#2 Even if you didn't “have to“ hire people, to hell what anyone thinks! And #youdoyou, Princess! 👑 2mo

Eggbeater @dabbe Her name is Latte Tallulah SpiderMonkey. She was a rescue. She came with the name Latte from the foster home because of her markings. I gave her a long string of names like a show dog. She sends squishy kisses back. 2mo

DGRachel #1 Pitties are the best. #2 how you spend your money is nobody‘s business but yours and you deserve to do things that please you and make your life easier. #princesslife 2mo

dabbe @Eggbeater 😍🐾😍 2mo

ElizaMarie Pitties are the best! 2mo

AnnCrystal 👸👏🏼🥳👌🏼💝 Latte Tallulah SpiderMonkey 🐾💝...my aunt had a pit bull mix, was a sweet baby!!! 2mo

kspenmoll Here‘s to your sweet squishy dog! Agree with @dabbe it‘s in how you love & raise your pets. I hate cleaning so please ignore the cobwebs in my house! 1mo

dabbe @kspenmoll And this English teacher used the wrong “they‘re”! Holy smokes! 🤦‍♀️ 1mo

#tlt #threelistthursday

Well, I hit the 2000s and pretty much stopped going to movies. 🤣 Only 12/116 on this one! I decided to list three movies that I can't believe I haven't seen and would like to:
1. GRAVITY
2. BARBIE 😱
3. THE IMITATION GAME

peaKnit I loved all of your picks also! Lots of great ones for me this week! 5mo

Mollyanna I was even worse… I only got 2. Lots on my TBW. Guess I need to start watching some movies. 😉 5mo

DGRachel I was surprised to get 17. I have to blame my mom for dragging me to at least half of those. 😂 What this whole sequence has taught me is that I clearly have minimal interest in “award winners” or even nominees of major awards - both books and film. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5mo

See All 10 Comments

dabbe @Mollyanna I'm sorry if I made you sad! I'm not much of a movie goer since about 1995-now! 🤣 I now have TONS on my TBW, and if I get to them, great. If not, there's always another gorgeous book around the corner ... Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙💚🩵 5mo

dabbe @peaKnit YAY! 🤩😍🤩 5mo

dabbe @DGRachel And what does that mean? Absolutely NOTHING! So many lists from so many people everywhere, and the only list that matters is YOURS! #youdoyou 👊🏻♥️👊🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙💚🩵 5mo

Mollyanna I am in total agreement. With streaming it‘s become easier to watch movies, but I tend to read instead. I haven‘t been in an actual movie theater for over 15 years 😆. My TBW list is a decent list but not anywhere near the length of my TBR. 5mo

dabbe @Mollyanna You and I sound quite a bit alike. I haven't been in a movie theater since the original INSIDE OUT. 🤣 5mo

TheLudicReader Barbie is pink fun and Ryan Gosling! 5mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader I tried to find a studly and adorable picture of RG just for you. 🤩 5mo

TheBookHippie @eeclayton This is why I love Brontë ? 2y

BarkingMadRead I‘m so glad you‘re all having as much fun as I am 🤣🤣 2y

Allylu You make reading these selections a blast! I look forward to the hashtags every day! 2y

BarkingMadRead @Allylu @Bookwormjillk @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread @Ruthiella thank you!! 2y

mcctrish #allswellthatendswell that was a frantic wrap up 🤣🤣 and @eeclayton I had that EXACT thought 🤣🤣 2y

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I enjoyed this one, but didn't LOVE it. Too many characters for me to really feel like I got to know anyone, and I'm honestly not totally convinced about the long-term happiness of any of the three main couples 😂 But still a fun little romp! 2y

julieclair Okay, full confession… I just could not get into this book, so it was a DNF for me. But I loved reading the hashtags and looking at the memes each day! Always good for a laugh! Great job hosting, as always. Thank you. 👍🏆🙌 2y

BarkingMadRead @julieclair #youdoyou 2y

rubyslippersreads I enjoyed this, but what made it really fun was reading it with all of you. 😊 2y

BarkingMadRead Thank you! @rubyslippersreads 2y

DebinHawaii This was cute & I‘m glad to get it off my Kindle TBR FINALLY! I‘m going to give it a soft pick for being early fan fiction & for sentimental reasons but I think a chapter-a-day with #hashtagbrigade & #PemberLittens was definitely the way to go as I don‘t think it had enough oomph on it‘s own. Thank you for the stellar hosting & all the fun @BarkingMadRead 😘 2y

Cuilin I really enjoyed reading along and seeing your posts, thanks @BarkingMadRead It was a delightful like not love for me. 2y

This was fun and funny, and at times incredibly moving. A compilation of stories from the LGBTQ community. Stories of love, and pride, and family, and human triumph. It‘s a fast listen, and one I would recommend to just about everyone. #PrideMonth

Little Fires Everywhere | Celeste Ng

bailed

I‘m just gonna have to go ahead and break up with this book via a post-it note (since this book is set in the 90s and pre-texting). I couldn‘t care less about any of these characters. I‘m sorry but I can‘t. Don‘t hate me! 😀https://youtu.be/dDxmooLg1IM

Suelizbeth I applaud your abandonment! I have found abandoning books to be extremely freeing. Too many books, too little time for clutter. 8y

Tamra I'm in the minority a lot too! 👍🏾 8y

Dolly It's okay, really it's okay. 😄says the person who has not yet read the book🙄 8y

AmyG Never force a read when there are so many other pefect book matches out there for you! One person‘s 5 star book is another person‘s bail. ;) (edited) 8y

HKGirl 😲😢 Jk, I haven't read it yet so I have no idea if I'd like it or not. I did really like her first book though. Have you read that? If so, how do you think it compared? 8y

SheReadsAndWrites I haven‘t read it yet but I am SO with you on “if I don‘t care about the characters, I‘m out.” Too many books out there not to bail when you dont gel with the characters. #mytwocents 8y

Kshakal I love the reference to sex and the city... my favorite episode!! 8y

LauraBeth @Suelizbeth agree! I did make it to page 150 before calling it quits 😀 8y

LauraBeth @Tamra I guess we can‘t like every single book! 8y

LauraBeth @dolly I think this is a case where it‘s me and not the book 😀 8y

LauraBeth @Amyg very true! 8y

LauraBeth @HKGirl I read it forever ago and remember liking it and thinking it was sharp for a debut novel. I think this book is quality fiction - I‘m just not in the head space right now for it 8y

LauraBeth Exactly @SheReadsAndWrites. For me this just seemed like the author really wanted to write a New Yorker article about interracial adoption more than actually wanting to flesh out and inhabit these characters. 8y

LauraBeth @Kshakal you can‘t go wrong with Sex And The City 😀 8y

HKGirl @LauraBeth That makes sense! 8y

Tamra @LauraBeth 👌🏾 8y

Kshakal @LauraBeth so good!! One my all time favorites! 8y

TheLudicReader Oh dear, I was really looking forward to this book because I loved her first book. LOVED. 8y

Reggie I like this episode because later on they go to the new club BED where she sees 🍔‘s friends and makes a crazy show of herself. Lololol 8y

Reggie We missed you lots @LauraBeth. I‘m glad you‘re back. 8y

LeahBergen And I hope you actually slapped that post-it right on the cover? 😂 8y

Cinfhen Life's too short to wort about a bail! #YouDoYou 8y

LiteraryinPA I did that (bailed on a popular book) last week with The Secret History. Life's too short! 8y

bio_chem06 Did you read her other book?

Everything I Never Told You: A Novel

emilyhaldi I had to do the same thing yesterday with Sleeping Giants after getting to page 200. If you don‘t care, why waste the precious reading time! (edited) 8y

katrrosee Have you read Commonwealth? It‘s kinda the same theme - suburban drama - but the characters are a little different and have all sorts of weird motivations.

Commonwealth

Lmstraubie OMGosh! This post was fantastic! Seriously, I needed that laugh!! 8y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Thanks for that video though. I loved Sex and the City @LauraBeth 8y

LauraBeth @TheLudicReader oh hey - don‘t take my opinion of this too seriously! I can tell this is quality fiction 😀 I‘m just not in the head space for this type of story right now. 8y

LauraBeth @Reggie you‘re kind to say 😘 and YES! the BED episode 😂😂 8y

LauraBeth @LeahBergen 😂😂 8y

LauraBeth @Cinfhen exactly! 8y

LauraBeth @LiteraryinLititz It took me a long time to get comfortable with bailing on books everyone else loves! 😀 8y

LauraBeth @bio_chem06 I did read her first one and liked it! 8y

LauraBeth @emilyhaldi exactly! I think when I continue to read a book that I‘m not enjoying - then it tends to put me in a bit of a slump if I do actually finish it. 8y

LauraBeth @KatrinaRose I haven‘t read this and I love the premise! 8y

LauraBeth @Lmstraubie 😀😀 8y

LauraBeth @Joyfulmimi me too! 8y
