On a personal note, I have an exit interview today as I leave my elementary school library job and move to a new position in a high school library. I‘m excited to try a new challenge (and to read all the YA!), but ugh - I am so not looking forward to today. #staystrong #yougotthis #movingon

Avanders Congrats and good luck with the transition! 🙏🏽 3y

Welp, I am officially bailing on this audiobook. I may or may not pick it up again in the future, but I found myself checking out while listening. I struggled to read the book 20 years ago. Apparently, it‘s the book I have issues with, not the format. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #movingon

It isn‘t often that I bail on a book. And I waited so long for the hold to come in! But I‘m just not into this story right now. So, I‘ve returned it to the library and placed it on hold again. Sigh. #movingon #dnf

Eggbeater I didn't get that far into it either. I was bored. 4y
PurpleyPumpkin @Eggbeater Glad I wasn‘t the only one. I only got to Chapter 6! And I‘d heard many good things. I think it just wasn‘t the right time for me. 🤷🏽‍♀️ 4y
AceOnRoam I wanted to bail, but I kept reading. I should have bailed!!! 4y
Princess-Kingofkings I listened to it as an audiobook and loved it! 4y
BridgetteM I didn‘t like it either. It‘s been so popular this year that I was surprised by how how much I didn‘t like it. 4y

Ehh, I may be giving up on this one. My book club picked it. I gave it about 50 pages, but if we‘re being honest, I‘m kind of over the unreliable narrator who‘s been accused of a crime that we don‘t know if she committed or not because we only get her account of the story. I have so many other books waiting for me. #movingon 🤷‍♀️

cathysaid Yes!!! That sort of narration has bothered me for a while. It‘s been done. And done. And done again. Enough! 5y
KT1432 I hate the unreliable narrator trope. I really liked this one but I think the audio version really enhanced it. Not sure it would have hit the same in print. 🤔 5y
Erinreadsthebooks @lele1432 I think you‘re right. My coworker really loved the audio version, too. 5y
Erinreadsthebooks @cathysaid Yes, preach!!! 🙌 And they‘ll keep publishing and marketing these books, and BOTM will keep choosing them as options...It‘s a vicious, never ending cycle. 5y

Well, that's done. Mostly, we see how accessible we are via social media, everyone has secrets... oh and lots of sex. So uncomfortable... I don't get the whole #TeamJoe thing. Those people have a lot of issues to work out!!! This was kind of like American Psycho Lite.
Finished out my prompts for:

@Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

BarbaraTheBibliophage Good job on making it through, despite the discomfort. 👊🏻📚♥️ 5y
Cinfhen I thought this book was really disturbing BUT I couldn‘t put it down!!!!! I loved it although I couldn‘t get through the Netflix series 5y

Tanisha_A I watched the series, and yes I hate that man! 5y
Soubhiville Yep, I‘m with you and @Cinfhen ! 5y
Cinfhen Did u watch the series @Soubhiville ?? Joe was too likable and Beck was kind of annoying me 😬so I thought I should just let it be and live with the book. Also did you read 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m really debating ... this one is on my shelf and I wonder what I‘ll think. Maybe after Mr. B comes back from his upcoming trip. Wouldn‘t want to read it alone in my house! Right? @cinfhen @soubhiville (edited) 5y
Soubhiville @Cinfhen I tried! I think I watched 3-4 episodes before I was too creeped out to continue. And I didn‘t feel it gave quite the same impression of Joe as the book. I haven‘t read any of her other books yet. Worth it? 5y
Soubhiville @BarbaraTheBibliophage I would not read this when home alone! 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Soubhiville 👊🏻😱 Thanks! 5y
Cinfhen Hidden Bodies was not as good as YOU but I‘m happy I read it. I hated her newest book @Soubhiville 5y
Cinfhen I was gonna say go for it @BarbaraTheBibliophage because you‘re my #RebelReader 😎♥️ 5y
Soubhiville Lol @Cinfhen and @BarbaraTheBibliophage , I may be wimpier than you! If I‘d read You while home alone, I would have been incredibly paranoid that someone was following me or especially trying to watch me through my windows! 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Soubhiville @Cinfhen I dunno. This one might make me #lessofarebel. And it‘s no hardship to wait a week. 🤪 5y
IamIamIam If you guys have anyone in mind I can pass this on to, I'm happy to snail mail it out!!! @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen @Soubhiville And I really didn't like Providence at all. It had a lot of potential and a good build up but it fizzled out quick. It was creepy but low level creepy for me. I'm more comfortable with dismemberment than dirty sex talk so I was just squirmy a lot of the time! 😂 5y
Cinfhen You‘ll always be my #rebelreader @BarbaraTheBibliophage 🙌🏻 I‘m so glad I‘m not the only one who thought Providence was a train wreck @IamIamIam @Chrissyreadit was looking for a #socialmediafocus book... maybe she‘ll want to read your copy!?? 5y
IamIamIam @Cinfhen Oh great!! I have a box of books to send her already so this will be my push to actually getb to the post office!! LOL, @Chrissyreadit I'll stop in on Monday and send that off. I made the kids go through their shelves last week too! 💓 5y
Chrissyreadit @IamIamIam @Cinfhen I do not think I would like You. I think it would also stress me out a ton. Thanks for your books for my #freelibrary I can‘t tell you how much these books are supporting a community. 5y
Cinfhen Awww, I love that @IamIamIam has gifted books to your #LittleFreeLibrary @Chrissyreadit 🧡🧡🧡 5y
IamIamIam @Chrissyreadit No worries! I'll post the book & see if anyone bites. I'm sure it's going to be tough to pass on around here... 🤣 I love passing on our books!! We donate through the school but they get redistributed through different communities. Keeping up with Chrissy, I can see the impact we're making. 💓💓 5y

Alright, I'm giving up at 1/3 of the way in. I like YA, but not YA that toes the line of being silly. There were some bright spots in this book (chapters narrated by Grant and the idea of a store selling contents of left behind suitcases) but most of it (especially chapters narrated by Doris) was too juvenile for my taste. I like my YA to not realize it's YA. ✌🏼#movingon

Moving On: A Novel | Larry McMurtry
post image

I'm moving to Houston, TX, next month! I read McMurtry's Terms of Endearment and The Evening Star when I was just out of high school. This time, I'm starting with the first of the Houston novels. This came today, the day my husband headed for Houston to start his new job. I'll be following with our son after school is out. It's an exciting time. #movingon
