Fates and Furies was probably a little too pretentious for little ole silly me, so I wasnt a huge fan of Groff‘s other book, but this one is going well so far. Read by the author.

When you think you made a lot of progress on an ebook and then you get the physical copy and realize you‘re not even halfway through 🤨
I didn‘t finish this by the time it was due back at the library, so my hold finally came through and we‘re picking up where I left off! 🍂
Finished Fangirl. Onto the next YA. Has anyone read this? Yay or nay? Didn‘t they make a movie of this or did I make that up?
for the weirdos & the dreamers
Cath is so fucking difficult; I almost can‘t stand her. Everyone bends over backwards for her and irl ppl would be done with her shit.
Finishing up the last few pages of this book. Funny, but a little caustic. That‘s right up my alley though. 👍
Seems like Im getting a short story fleshed out into a novel with this book. But I love Frances‘ musings at times and am overall enjoying the story (and even the “white people problems” characters).
Soooo I‘m lucky to know a couple who color comic books. She lets me borrow some of their collection sometimes! This one is about a guy and girl who rob banks after they figure out they can stop time when they orgasm.
I am loving this book. It‘s definitely one of the best I‘ve read the year!
pickGreat intro to the benefits of meditation.
“What you make from a tree should be at least as miraculous as what you cut down.”
Ted Chiang‘s short story "Story of Your Life" (in this collection) was the basis of the film Arrival (2016). The stories are precise and I feel like he is a brutal editor of his own work (like he cuts a lot of extraneous writing out during his process). Definitely a fan, I wish he had more work out there.
I‘ve had this book from the library so long, I probably just own it at this point.
“he was fat and he was drunk and he‘s in the right place.”
Kitty helping me read. Something good, something bad, or nothing going on? Take a drink 🍻
This book is okay. A little *too* much j/k #hashtagthisisalonghashtag lolyoudumfuk.com stream of consciousness blathering but I love her honesty (especially about money, I realized while reading this that everyone is very tight lipped about money but will overshare their sexcapades at the drop of a hat).
pickGrease. Once. A Star is Born. Daisy Jones & The Six. (Also, I think it‘s really cute they have a page dedicated to the book font.)
I didn‘t realize Game of Thrones co-creator wrote books before his tv showrunning gig 😳
I got The Library Book from, where else, but the library. Have heard terrible things about the narration (read by the author, ouch). But I‘m about one cd in and it‘s totally fine! Which I‘m grateful for bc my CD player doesn‘t have a 1.25x speed like the audible app does.
I‘ve been trying to not drink off and on for the past year. And I haven‘t read Bukowski since college. Saw this at the library and thought I‘d give it a spin
I really am enjoying this book! Working on the movie casting in my head. I keep thinking Hailee Steinfeld for Daisy. Jake Gyllenhaal or, I can‘t stand him, James Franco looking dude for Billy. Simone would have to be Zoe Kravitz obv and ugh Reese needs to make this into a miniseries ASAP (HBO plz, not Netflix).
Huge fan of Camila (Billy‘s wife). Huge fan of Daisy (Billy‘s bandmate). I feel like they‘re going to come to a crossroads soon though 🥺 Also don‘t read this right after you watch A Star is Born unless you wanna be humming Shallows while they‘re talking about Honeycomb 🍯
Have no clue what this book‘s about but have seen other ppl read it and so now I finally got it from the library 😎 #copycat
Beyoncé in the background and ravens in the front? Excited to finally start this one. Nonfiction. This guy does something with ravens at the Tower of London.
Copy Editor for Random House has some writing tips 4 u
pickThis book is not for everyone, but this book was for me.
I love this author. The time period feels genuine (except for the progressive characters but THATS THE POINT), and Felicity, the main character, is so feisty and tired of men‘s bullsh*t. The narrator is good too. #youngadult
#libraryhaul what should I read first
My library holds came in! #libraryhaul 📚
I will always like Charles Bukowski. Some people crap on him bc of his many personal faults. But he introduced me to poetry and I don‘t think I would have ever found Mary Oliver and Billy Collins if I wasn‘t sucked into Bukowski‘s view of how pointless everything is.
I‘ve mainly heard the protagonist is horrible but people “liked the book anyway.” It‘s reading well so far. #overduelibrarybooks
pickCool, more books for my TBR pile 🥴 This book wasn‘t AMAZING or anything, but it did inspire me to buy a domain name so it was definitely an influential read 4 me! Get this if you‘re a blogger or Tweeter.
Does what we try most to avoid come after us because we paid too much attention to it with our worry?
This book is SO overdue at the library. But I‘m just gonna pay the fine and finish it bc it has holds on it. Sorry #21 in the queue, I have reading needs.
A lot of graphic novels in today‘s #libraryhaul. But I‘m gonna stop my current audiobook for my commute and switch with Harper‘s Force of Nature. Coworkers, retreat in the woods, someone doesn‘t come back .... my body is ready.
so-soThe book started off promising, but I found the main conflict to be something hard to care about bc it‘s just a high schooler kind of overreacting about something. But it‘s not bad! You got a plus-size lesbian main character so that‘s fun.
