What a gem of a book!

I am personally not a fan of positive affirmations. They‘re just not my thing and I find them overly optimistic. Disappointing affirmations are more up my alley so I ended up loving this book.

I enjoyed the first two in this series but somehow never seem to get very far in this one. Gonna add it to my #BookSpin list.

I went to do a Dog Jog this morning with friends. Gatsby slept in but got a new kerchief anyway. Now I‘m starting this one with her on my lap. I figure I‘ve earned couch time after two (slow) races this weekend.

AmyG You did 2 races!!! 👊🏻 1d

3.5/5

This is a very interesting look at language used within Black culture. I really appreciated the context that was added to different phrases, and the intersectionality with the language within Black LGBTQIA+ culture. The book also touches on how these phrases have been used within American culture without the underlying cultural context.

I‘m not quite that bad, but I get the sentiment. 😆

These are the books (and tchotchkes) that were in front of my books on my bookshelf.

My goodness I have a lot of books to read to “fit” in my bookshelves.

They‘re not even a small bookshelves!!

Very silly, funny, & OTT. This, about the menace of the quaint English village, is not to be taken seriously at any point. The Gorey-esque illustrations add to the charm. The village police station being described as "just a mug of tea in a cupboard" nearly made me choke on my coffee. Those of us who love our little English village mysteries will enjoy this tongue-in-cheek bit of fluff. Danger lurks everywhere & I failed the Manor Quiz ?

CarolynM Sounds like my cup of tea. Stacked 1w

BookWrym Sounds really good I wouldn‘t want to move to Midsummer as you are going to get murdered and it seems this is a spoof on this. 1w
batsy @Ruthiella @LeahBergen It's very short, a picture book really, and perfect to unwind with in one sitting! 7d
batsy @BookWrym Yes, that's exactly what it is! It's made me want to rewatch all of those early Midsummer episodes 😆 7d
Cathythoughts This looks great. The pictures must be fun. Would you look at the two legs sticking out 😂 7d

Tons of witty lines that don‘t add up to much of a story. Adams must have amused himself quite a bit.
