June 2025 Book#2

This one is going #offmyshelf @wanderglynn It didn‘t work for me. I found it so exaggerated and even histrionic in the way situations were managed or explained. What about menstruation it was like the topic is something out of this world🙄I still don‘t know why this book was in so many awards lists. I know mine is an unpopular opinion🤷🏽‍♀️2⭐️Almost bailed it.

BarbaraBB This is such a dividing book. People either hate or love it! 16h

CarolynM Not an unpopular opinion, as many people hated it as loved it, me included. Pretentious twaddle. 16h

Texreader I did bail. Ugh. I didn't even make it past a few pages. So I'm impressed. 9h

Texreader @CarolynM Amen!! 9h

Gissy @DieAReader Yes! 🙌 9h

Gissy @Texreader I should bail it too but I was trying to understand why so many people like it, why this book was in so many awards consideration lists. Maybe I was doing a reading choices research 😂🤣🤣🤣 9h

Texreader @Gissy I really wanted to do the same, and hoping for a gem. There had to be a reason why it hit all the lists. But I couldn't stomach it. 9h

Tamra Love the word “histrionic” - big turn off! 8h

TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list!! 3h

dabbe I have tried audio many times, and I just can't--unless it's a story I know well. So last December (as I was cleaning before people came over), I listened to A CHRISTMAS CAROL narrated by Tim Curry. I absolutely loved it! His reading was stellar! (of course, then I had to go watch “Sweet Tranvestite“ on YouTube, but that's for another day!) ♥️💙💚 2w

Dive | John David Anderson

pick

Dive is a double meaning title for this middle grade novel. #1 (13) is a diver, on a parochial dive team. #2 she meets a teen (17) who dumpster dives as a means of survival. The friendship is kept in secret and that leads to some tense moments and understandable concerns from her parents. I remember being that age and wanting some atomomy but also having zero understanding of the wider world and that not everyone has my best interests in mind.

I'm not just sad by the murder of the genius Rob Reiner and his artistic wife. I am ENRAGED by this ignoramus's reply. It is beyond despicable. It is psychologically sick and heinous. Every single person who voted for this maniacal, delusional narcissist as our president needs to take a good, long look in the mirror at yourself. Because how you can live with your choice is beyond me. The asshole is PURE EVIL. #ranttime

Librarybelle Seeing this response made a bad day even worse. I just cannot fathom horribleness right now. 😡 2w

dabbe @Librarybelle I am sorry to have added any pain to your day. 😢 That's why I use the hashtag #ranttime. You can block all rants if you block that hashtag. 2w

Librarybelle Oh! Not your response! I meant a certain someone‘s response to the tragedy. Yours is spot-on in my opinion. 2w

AmyG I am livid. This man is beyond evil, beyond vile. How anyone can still support him says everything about such people. 2w

Readergrrl I have no accurate definition for the filth occupying the White House. It has pervaded everything. Keep strong. It‘s what Rob Reiner would want. 2w

Aims42 Just when the bar seems to hit the floor for what that man will say, the bar falls into a gutter 😡 The Grim Reaper is taking the wrong men!!! 2w

Hooked_on_books I think he‘s doing 2 things here. One is that everything has to be about him, of course. But I think part of him, before it became clear that it was the son, assumed one of his followers did this and was trying to deflect. How do you have to feel about your own supporters to jump to that conclusion? It says so much about the state of our country right now. Bad, bad, bad. 2w

Thatbooknerd Completely disgusted! 2w

Leftcoastzen I didn‘t think there was much more that narcissistic sociopath could do to make me think even less of him but the disgraceful & disgusting post about Reiner is beyond everything. He was asked about it by a reporter a bit ago and doubled down on his hate & cruelty. 2w

CBee Just so angry 😡 2w

Hooked_on_books @AmyG It‘s completely insane. I‘ve been wondering for so long how on earth we got here. When did people get so hateful? It‘s such a toxic environment for everyone. 2w

GingerAntics That sums it up. The only Trump derangement syndrome that actually exists is whatever is wrong in the president‘s head. 2w

dabbe @Thatbooknerd 🎯💙🎯 2w

dabbe @Leftcoastzen “Sociopath“ is spot-on. He has absolutely no capacity to feel for anything or anyone except himself. He's one sick psycho with the evil intent of inflicting the absolute cruelty on anyone he thinks has hurt him in any way. And I still just stand in dumbness and numbness for the people who voted for him. 2w

dabbe @CBee YES! 😖😠😤😡🤬 2w

dabbe @GingerAntics BINGO! 🎯💙🎯 2w

marleed The definition of vile 😖 2w

AnnCrystal Thank you for posting this. I had heard about something cruel that had been stated, but not the details. It fails to surprise me, yet my rage at the disrespect is renewed. Mr. And Mrs. Reiner were genuine heroes... superheroes 💝💝💝. 2w

Some Stuff About Me
#AuldLangSpine

1. I tripped Queen Elizabeth II when I was 9 years old. True story.

2. I hate coffee. Yes. I said it.

3. My favorite color is green.

4. I‘m a New England native who can trace my family‘s roots in Massachusetts and Connecticut back to 1627.

5. I‘m a genealogy buff. I started doing research when I was 12 and haven‘t stopped. And boy, have I found some interesting skeletons by shaking that family tree… ⬇️

monalyisha, fredthemoose

Amiable 6. I married the guy who lived next door to me in college. We just celebrated our 34th anniversary. We have two sons: one is a Marine helicopter pilot and the other is a rocket scientist. (edited) 3w

Amiable 7. I‘ve worked as a writer/editor for my entire career: at a daily newspaper, a university and a hospital health system. But I always wanted to be an astronaut. (Thank you, Carl Sagan!) 3w

Deblovestoread #1 What a memory! Love this ❤️ 3w

Amiable @Deblovestoread when she died my father immediately called me and said, “Do you think they‘ll mention in her obituary about that time in 1976 when you tripped her?” 😄 3w

dabbe I now want to hear the whole story where you tripped Queen Liz! Loved learning more about you, too. ♥️💙💚 3w

Amiable @TheKidUpstairs I‘m a die-hard tea drinker! 🫖 3w

Amiable @dabbe In 1976, Liz and Phillip visited the U.S. for the bicentennial. On July 11, they sailed from NYC to New Haven to catch a flight at Tweed Airport. My parents took us kids to the docks to see them. It was hot and I was bored, so I sat down on the curb and stretched my legs out. As they were traversing the wharf, the Queen stumbled over my legs. 😬 Thankfully she didn‘t fall. But it‘s a family legend now. 😄 3w

Bette Fascinating and fun—thanks for sharing. The jokes your son, the rocket scientist, can make. 😊 3w

monalyisha Great list — and hi! 👋🏻 3w

marleed Not me coming back to the post a day later to see if you continued the story of tripping Queen Elizabeth ❤️👑 3w

Amiable @marleed Ha ha! I didn‘t want to assume that there weren‘t others out there who had also tripped the Queen and were like, “ho hum, boring!” 😄 3w

Chrissyreadit wow!!! 🎉🎉🎉all of it! 3w

CSeydel Wow! 🤩 2w

CSeydel Love the tripping the queen story, but I want to hear more about the family tree drama!! 2w

Suet624 So fun to know more about you. 😊 2w

Amiable @CSeydel Well, one of the stories is that I‘m a direct descendant of the only person ever executed in New Haven Colony … for bestiality. William Potter, who was part of one of the founding families of New Haven, was hanged in 1662. He was my 7x-great grandfather. 😬 You can actually Google him and read all about his court case! 2w

CSeydel Oh my goodness! 😬 2w
