pickArnie Yashenko, 8th grader, has all the panache of a modern #superhero. He‘s tall, quick, agile, good student, good at any sport he tries, not to mention already plays on a high school football team. Korman‘s new book is clever and amusing, published this year.

Quirky story about a man who tries to find his way in the world after his mother dies. Soft pick. #sundayfunday
Not really a coincidence that the movie is on TV right now, but it is a surprise to read these words: "Almost every moment of her life she lives in the moment where she is. It's like the guy in Memento. It's like every day is Groundhog day."
Identifying with the author as she's looking at ways to maintain her own brain health by reading, writing, and relearning math. Tagged another of her books as this one is not in the database. #groundhogday
panI started this book, and liked it. Then a little less and little less, and when Junie started to be mean to the dog with no real reason, this book turned out to a Pan. No, the characters were unlikeable from the beginning, but then I thought them interesting because of that. But more and more they all turned out to be nothing more than annoying. Guess Marjorie Kellogg is no author for me.

bailed⭐️⭐️
At least 10 “R-Words” in this read before chapter 5.
If that doesn‘t piss you off or turn you off to reading something, well, it should.
So instead of posting the cover to this book, I‘m posting the only lesson I‘ve learned from today. It‘s been a hard one.
I do not recommend this book to anyone, I expected better from the author & was disappointed this one had been on my TBR for so long.
Leave it on the shelf.
2/2 bails for 2020.
Yikes.
6 times with the “R-word” by the middle of the second chapter.
Not bailing yet, but I am close.
Tempted to start tallying and posting that since everyone would know what it means by now!
Even in a work of complete fiction, it won‘t stop bugging me that I found this so early.
End the “R-word”, PLEASE!!! 😞🙅🏻♀️😔
panI did not enjoy this book it was a very slow read and didn‘t move very far. It is about this kid named Jonathan and he goes to prison and it goes from there. I didn‘t read the whole thing because it didn‘t intrigue me to read anymore.
The MC is an odd one. At first I didn't like the way you learn his inner thoughts--through letters to Richard Gere. But Bartholomew is growing on me, as are the other interesting people who are entering his life.
The narrator is very good EXCEPT when he does some of the women characters. 🙄
