I found something very puzzling while reading Rilla this week. I often switch between print and ebook when I have both and one is more convenient. I was reading the ebook over lunch and was mid-chapter when I switched back to print. In scanning through to find my place, I discovered sections in the ebook that aren‘t in the print version. I checked it against both print copies I have—both are missing the highlighted passages above. What?!? ⤵️
Never did read these but somehow managed to keep them safe for 35 years (and 6 moves!) #kindredspiritsbuddyread going to give me that push

Lori Lansens has written a few books and one of my favourite things about her is every book is different. Many authors stick to similar topics when they write fiction, but with Lori Lansens each book is so unique.
Did you enjoy reading Lori Lansens? Would you read any of her other books?
To live life as a conjoined twin would bring challenges - yet Ruby and Rose are such strong characters that live their life. One of the most beautiful things about these characters is that they are glad they are joined together forever in life. Uncle Stash and Aunt Lovey are also something.
What did you think of the characters in the book? How do you think you would feel if you had to live every part of your life alongside someone?
The Girls by Lori Lansens - A fictional book about conjoined twins told in their voice. Different, strong personalities for each twin in their own way.
Thoughts on the book and the autobiography style the author chose to use? Did you find the story flowed well? Any general thoughts on the book?
So I looked at the solutions to the clues on Reddit (generally someone has them there by the third ones) and was on the fence about Original Daughter. Of course I got it! 😂😂 Four from #botm plus three from #aardvark plus whatever I buy at Parnassus today. (I already have three staff picks I like.) 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😂 I‘ve lost my mind in the best possible way!!!!
pickBook review catch-up post 4 of 5:
This one didn't resonate with me as much as I expected it to, but it was engaging. There were a few loose ends that I wish had been explained. I would read more by Lansens, so overall I liked it. #ohcanada
Now I kind of want to read print and ebook side by side for comparison!! 7h
