so-soUgh, I really wanted to like this one, but the MMC was whiny and pathetic. Sure he has some nice qualities, but overall I think he‘s sub par. You don‘t tell someone you‘re soulmates and then fall for the closest hot girl and then get mad when you realize you squandered 15 years away. I saw the ending surprise from a mile away and the last bit in the book was so cheesy and unrealistic it hurt. Book #81 in 2024
pickThis is one of my favorite memoirs this year! 5⭐️ all the way!
Gagne realized she was different than other kids early on. She had a deep need to act out against other kids and break laws, but yet she felt apathetic emotionally. She found a checklist for sociopathy and realized she fit it to a T. With her deep intellectual curiosity, she began to work out ways to self-treat her condition. This led to a PhD and work with other sociopaths.
so-soI wanted a fun read after reading a few deeper books lately. I don‘t mind a well written sex scene but smut isn‘t really my thing. However in this book, the main female character called her vagina her “sex” several times and it was really weird. I did like how Declan and Nicole allowed each other to take the chance they wanted.

I read this book today as self-directed PD. I love Moore's YouTube channel, 5 Moore Minutes, and this book incorporates her insights, storytelling, and clever way of developing elaborate metaphors for education. I most enjoyed the final two chapters, which focused on the importance of seeing more than just a "snapshot" of your students, and UDL (using a sweeper van metaphor).
so-soI love Backman but this one was just so long and drawn out. A great story that could‘ve been half the length. I don‘t even have the energy to write a good review, I‘m sorry. Book #81 in 2022
pickThe latest installment in the Bookmobile Cat Mysteries is just as amusing as the series had grown to be. Minnie is a little more settled in life, but it doesn't mean she'll stop getting into trouble trying to help right wrongs. #81-2022
