How to Read a Book: A Novel | Monica Wood

so-so

Honestly, I don‘t quite know how to feel about this book which is why I gave it 3 stars.

This book started off so slow. It took me a while to get into it. It just felt like the story was meandering and that made it boring.

By the second half it got more exciting and it low key got a little horny, which I typically don‘t mind but in this case it felt random.

Prairiegirl_reading I was hate reading by the end. Lots of people love it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2h

oddandbookish @Prairiegirl_reading I didn‘t hate it but I definitely didn‘t love it either. It got such great reviews and I was expecting more from it. 2h

June so far. Slower than May, but I managed a #bookspin book (Little Lies) and the next in the series for #EBBR.

I‘m so behind on a lot of buddy reads and Litsy happenings.

How to Keep House While Drowning: 31 Days of Compassionate Help | Kc Davis

pick

(This is maybe going to be a long post)

This is totally a #blameitonlitsy - it just kept on appearing and appearing and appearing in my feed. So who am I to fight Reading Destiny? And yes, it was a good thing to listen to it. RD knows what I need.

Because I so, so needed that book. It's short and easy to read, and it has to be. It's written for people in very dark places and those often don't have the strength and energy to read big books. ⬇

Jari-chan You can skip and browse as you like and need it.

The way of deconstructing what makes you unhappy about your cho- I mean, care works, is basically the same as the one I did when I was fighting my ED. But it never occurred to me that I needed to this with my relationship with care work as well.

Even though my therapist told me to go easy on it, to think that it‘s okay that not everything‘s done, it only ever worked a little bit. ⬇ 3d

Jari-chan It still stressed me out. A lot. That‘s why I read this book. I never realized how much shame I connected to it. That I have to learn to see my dirty floor as neutral. That it doesn‘t make me a bad person or a failure.

Wow, so much learning. But it‘s already starting to do it‘s wonders. I‘m more relaxed, more accepting. And it feels wonderful.

AmyG A good book to read. I was the same. Then I began what I called “triage”. What was the most important thing to do first and so on down the line. I also learned that I am my best friend so I talked to myself with kindness and compassion-and I learned to trust myself. It all gets done eventuallly. Your “care works” are not you. 3d

Jari-chan @AmyG I'm happy to hear that you've learnt so much and are hopefully better now 🫂💖 3d

AmyG Thank you….I am so better. 2d

MaleficentBookDragon I‘m glad this book is helping you. My therapist recommended this book to me after I read Divergent Mind (another she recommended). They both have really helped me with understanding myself and to start letting go of shame. It‘s a work in progress.

Zen Bender: A Decade-Long Enthusiastic Quest to Fix Everything (That Was Never Broken) | Stephanie Krikorian

pick

I‘ve read my fair share of self-help books (and swear by several of them), so this was an amusing adventure into the world of healers, clairvoyants, coaches, numerologists and spiritual gurus. Too bad the author spent a boatload of big bucks only to discover the inner gifts she had all along. The hilarious chapter on “Marie Kondo-ing” moved this from a so-so read to a pick! 😂

Guardians Of Glyndor: The Disappearing Creatures | NicoleClaire C.

pick

This was such a fun YA fantasy!

First off, the world building was fantastic. It was simple to understand their world and how it related to our world. Everything was explained gradually which made grasping the world easy to digest. Sometimes fantasy novels can do a lot of info-dumping, but this book did not.
