A few years ago it dawned on me that everybody past a certain age — regardless of how they look on the outside — pretty much constantly dreams of being able to escape their lives.

I'm posting one book per day from the ever growing unread stacks in my personal library. No description or explanation, just books I own and plan to read. #tbr
Day 37
Reading for Book Club. Setting is an office supply store (Staples.) Roger is a middle-aged guy and Bethany is twenty-something. Roger leaves his diary in the break room, and Bethany reads it to find out that he is writing about her, so she writes him back. Interesting and quirky so far.
This book was really cleverly written with a story within a story within a story, but I don't think I was in the mood for it. I ended up skimming my way to the end.
"Wouldn't it be great if stars turned black during the day--the sky covered with dots like pepper?" So Far this book is really good. Summery snack is peaches, honey & vanilla yogurt.
Seriously LAPL? I suggested you purchase this book? Me???🤔The description doesn't sound like my kind of book. But, since you sent a second email saying it's ready to download, I did.
I track my reading on my own spreadsheets (yes, plural 😐), but today I got the email saying I was behind on my reading challenge numbers. So I spite-typed all my books in for the past 2 months. And then this started happening. Goodreads nooooooo. #whyilovelitsy
pickI heard about this Canadian epistolary novel on Get Booked! Fair warning: it's DARK. Dark and bitter. (I had to spend a few minutes staring at my Pusheen pencil case to recalibrate.) I love a risky novel, which this one definitely is. I'm not sure all its risks succeed, but I found at least one of them-- the bitingly funny novel-within-a-novel-- an excellent lens into the main characters. Definitely recommend-- if you don't mind a sharp tongue.
