bailed

ANOTHER DNF!!! I had this one in audio. 23 hours of petty complaining and making mountains out of tiny mole-hills. He thinks he has mother issues? Pull up a chair buddy! I made it to CD #4 of 19. The end of the year is near and I cannot spend it suffering through a bad audiobook experience. 😣

Kaye Amen. Life is too short. There are millions of books waiting for you. 😁 7y

Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Kaye Right on! 😂👍🏻 7y

All while reading this book I kept saying "Wow" out loud. Thats exactly what I said at the end. I really loved this perfect depiction of a dysfunctional family, dysfunctional people and the eventual lesson that most of us are out here just doing our best to make it. "Love is the medicine" as Theroux says. We all need to work towards loving hard and loving deep. "Shower the people you love with love." -James Taylor #lyrics ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is so very good. I have some work to do but have not been able to stop reading. Psychologically intense, to say the least...

Jazruiz.2014 So that would be a no read for me? 7y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads It would be OK @Jazruiz.2014 7y

Jazruiz.2014 @Joyfulmimi ok. Good too know! 7y

It was time for a novel and, thankfully, I LOVE it. I have never read Paul Theroux before but I am already a fan.

Here is another book I want to read but cannot renew. I selfishly do not want to turn it in...Don't want to pay the fines either...What a dilemma...

DrSabrinaMoldenReads I think I am going to keep this book until I finish it this weekend. Its only a quarter a day, cheaper than purchasing the book. 😂 I am making a library donation. 7y

LauraBrook I'd do the same thing too! 7y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Thanks @LauraBrook 😘 7y

Jazruiz.2014 What's that about? 7y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Basically a family with a bad mother @Jazruiz.2014 7y

Jazruiz.2014 @Joyfulmimi hmmmm....not a good fit I'm guessing. 7y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads I am unsure @Jazruiz.2014 I will need to read it first. 7y

#TBRtemptation post 4! Released in May. This is a dark comedy about a family held together and torn apart by an elderly matriarch. To her Cape Cod neighbors, she's seen as an upstanding pillar, to her husband & seven children, Mother is seen as a selfish tyrant. An eclectic cast of characters make up this family struggle that touches on family and loyalty, respect and tolerance, and asks if blood is thicker than water. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

#bookhaul from a used bookstore in Upper West Side coined "Westsider Books". Been eyeing these books for awhile so I was happy to get such good prices!

Ah...a long awaited library Book Haul. #libraryhaul

valeriegeary Listen To Me is a trip! I read it last month and still have very very conflicted feelings about it.

Listen to Me

cathysaid @valeriegeary I just finished it last night. Conflicted is a good word. As for the prose itself, I enjoyed it. And the plot was original and engaging. The ending, though.... That's the part I'm having trouble processing. 7y

valeriegeary Yep. Those were pretty much my exact thoughts too! 7y

I enjoy reading well written book reviews. Stephen King' s review of Mother Land in the NYT expresses his mixed thoughts on this book. I appreciate that he gives no judgement as to whether or not someone should read it. But, instead relates his own reading experience.

melbeautyandbooks I love his reviews. I have found several authors that I really enjoying reading thanks to him. 8y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads I am surprised. I do not think he got this book. At least, it did not seem so from his review. 7y
