My boss is actually a fine human being. He‘s kind, intellectually curious, and a devoted family man. As #theboss though he drives me crazy. He‘s constantly overwhelmed and thoroughly disorganized. I try to help, but I can only do so much.

I‘m not looking for a new job. That ship has sailed. But when I was, I found the tagged book to be insightful.

“Here I am playing detective games,snooping among dead bodies, while there are genuinely important things to be done at home!”
I hope you all have as much fun as I am reading this novel!
Zofia is thoroughly enjoying her “snooping”, but the ingrained cultural and social expectations of women at the time creates internal conflict and a little sense of guilt.

sprainedbrain Definitely looking forward to this! 4y
Butterfinger Can't wait. Love the cover. 4y

I read a fictitious account of Stalin‘s daughter - liked it - and yet feel disappointed it wasn‘t truer to the original story. #conflicted FAR preferred Rosemary Sullivan‘s non-fictional Stalin‘s Daughter #applestooranges Photo from https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3496532/Tank-Girl-Josef-Stalin-s-tattoo...

Damn you, Sherman Alexie. This book is brilliant, with the honesty and profanity and grief and humor that will resonate with teens and anyone who was once a teen. It does the important work of reminding people that Native Americans aren‘t just historical figures we read about in our white-washed American history classes, but real, actual human beings with problems and joys and tangible lives.

Krisjericho And then Alexie turns out to be an asshole who harassed women and is a jerk and now I hesitate to recommend it and I hate that. 5y
merelybookish I know. 😔 😡 Why did he have to be a jerk? Of the public figures who have been called out for their misogynistic behaviour, this was the most disappointing. Because his work is so good and it speaks to kids. 5y
britt_brooke I loved this book, too. It‘s a real shame he is the way he is. So disappointing. 5y
CollapsingLibrary Whoa what?? How did I miss hearing about this? I‘m so disappointed. And after reading his memoir, I liked him but 😕 5y

#AbbaInAugust Trust me, ain‘t NO #AngelEyes on these pages...definitely one of the craziest books I read but I didn‘t like the “twist” at all!!! Her newest book CROSS HER HEART is a #BOTM Sept spoiler according to @felinesandfiction 🙌🏻💕

TrishB Another on my kindle until the hype goes!! 6y
JennyM @Cinfhen no crazy twist in this new one. Very clever I thought - I sped through it 6y

Mdargusch Dang! I was going to use this today. You beat me to it! 😁 6y
Cinfhen Hehehe! My 7hr time difference gives me an advantage @Mdargusch 😘😘 6y
Reviewsbylola I don‘t think I‘m going to read her new book and tbh I am getting annoyed that BOTM has been recycling authors. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 6y
Cinfhen I agree @Reviewsbylola about the recycling of prior authors 🙄I was pretty sure I wasn‘t going to read her new book either @emilyhaldi but im seeing LOTS of good reviews 🤭 6y
BarbaraBB @Lola I feel you, I was sooo angry when I came to that twist 😬 6y

This book was a fun zombie book read! I enjoyed it and it makes me think of #higherground #getmovin

Cinfhen The publisher blurb sounds good but zombies worry me #conflicted🤔 6y
Roselyn_Reads I love Jamie McGuire‘s Beautiful Series and I‘ve had this one for a couple of years now but have been afraid to read it, but I may dig into it soon. 6y

#conflicted I thought BearTown was excellent and I didn‘t think it needed a sequel...This book felt indulgent and unnecessary at times....very SLOW buildup to a pretty unoriginal ending..... I liked some parts, shed a few tears but was also frustrated and bored at times. Somewhere between pick & so-so. Using as a sub for #MarchMadnessChallenge #GoNova

TheBookgeekFrau I may skip this one; the more I think about it, the more I‘m sure a sequel wasn‘t needed😕 6y
Sophoclessweetheart I‘ve been meaning to read Bear Town. Is it very good? X 6y
DivineDiana Curious about this, but agree a sequel was unnecessary. #GoNova (edited) 6y

emilyhaldi Hmmm yeah I just finished Beartown and I think the story is probably left as-is for me 🤔 6y
britt_brooke I don‘t think I‘m going to read this one. Beartown was excellent standing alone. 6y
Cinfhen If you guys want “spoilers” let me know.... @C.Perone @emilyhaldi @britt_brooke 6y
Cinfhen I read Beartown before any hype @Wanderingwithwords so I was completely blown away....I‘m not sure after all the hype if I would have LOVED it as much but I would still strongly recommend 6y
auntie_jenn i‘ve learned to stay away from sequels. they‘re never as good as the original. 6y
Cinfhen I think that‘s the truth @auntie_jenn 😁 6y
Reviewsbylola I didn‘t love Beartown enough to get excited about a sequel. Now I‘m definitely sure I‘ll be skipping this. 6y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Ok... tell me how you read so fast!!! Even if I wasn‘t on Litsy too much I could never read as fast as you and @Eggs My inspirations!! 💕📚☺️ 6y

I‘m going into this with a open mind. I have very conflicted feelings. On the one hand I think she is incredibly Brave to speak out the way she has about her own experiences, I also think that she has promoted and relaunched her career off the back of it with a tv show, a book and an album- feels uncomfortable. But then others in the industry put a halt to her career for many years- so is she just making up for lost time? #conflicted #brave #rose
