#halloweengoespostal #fallbookexchange @Meeko93 I got my box!!! It did however show up pretty crunched so I'm opening the box to make sure everything is ok! Tali gave it a thorough sniffing!

Meeko93 Wow! Haha I'm so glad you got it and I can't wait till you open everything up on Halloween. Yes the box is safe to open and I hope it's all intact. 7y
Mdargusch That is some rough handling. 🙀 7y

Mehso-so

Koren's memoir of her use of alcohol to cope with crippling social anxiety is well-written and often poetic. She came from a loving, financially comfortable family. Until she started drinking to the point of blacking out, she doesn't seem to have experienced any particular trauma. So I kept thinking, #whitegirlproblems.

Marlena,
holding up the universe.

After you,
everything everything
smashed.

Leave me
almost somewhere
the opposite of loneliness.

All the ugly and wonderful things.
All the bright places.

I was cleaning out my bedroom closet this morning because the toddler and I are in cleaning mode. She dusts...the dog. Totally helpful. Anyway, I found this book in a box and I have no idea who gave it to me or when they gave it to me. It was a little surprise! Surprise books you don't have to spend money on? Does anyone need their closets cleaned???

Gayan Yes. Come to Kentucky. 8y
Josie On my way!!! @Gayan (edited) 8y

I can't finish this book! I've tried so many times!

But in college, we can wear our alcohol abuse as proudly as our university sweatshirts; the two concepts are virtually synonymous.
