Pie I made yesterday (Figgy Pudding Pie - actually a custard) and the book that just came off hold from the library. Now, I was assuming that the author is the David Mitchell that wrote Cloud Atlas, but some reviews say he is a comedian. Same guy? Are there two different David Mitchells? I know, I know; I could just google it …

I've already been posting quite a bit about this book and how much it got to me. I wonder what would've been if I had read this before my diagnosis. I think I can't thank Fern Brady enough for her honesty, for being open and vulnerable. Most people still don't really know what Autism is and how autistics feel and think and react. Here we get the whole thing.

peaKnit I had an elderly gentlemen swear me to secrecy when he asked me to put a hold on this for him at the library. It was precious. He was returning White Christmas and Miracle on 34th Street ❤️❄️ 4d

Itchyfeetreader Sorry I have bene a bit delayed in responding - this is an awesome list @Born.A.Reader Its clear @Monalysha wins again as #5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 18 and 19 are alll also true for me! And on number 4 one of my fun facts (not on my list) is that I got married at the chapel at the Tower of London - starting marriage where Anne Bolyn is allegedy buried may not be auspicious but we seem to be holding on in! 1d
Born.A.Reader @Itchyfeetreader That is such a neat fact! One day I'd like to make it over to England, and the Tower is on my list to visit. Medieval England is my favorite era within historical fiction. 23h

Brilliant! I wasn‘t expecting this book at all. I thought it would just be hilarious, but it made me love Miranda even more! It really spoke to me because I have just authored a workbook for awakening your wild woman and the language Miranda uses really aligned with me. The way she spoke and wrote felt like an intimate conversation with a close friend. It was helpful, comforting and hilarious. Thank you Miranda! I will gallop with you anywhere 💕

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🥳 Congratulations on your workbook 📚💝. 5d
SarahBookInterrupted @AnnCrystal thank you! At some point I‘ll put it up on here. I‘m waiting for my authors copies now. 🥳 4d

At 89% and I had to pause - again - or I might would've started to cry. I mean, I did read about about shutdowns and autistic burnouts, but hearing her talking about them that openly? That hits differentky, again. I'm the one who goes nonverbal and got in trouble for that not only as a child, but also as a grown-up. Finally I know, why this happens. I think I need to feed my ADHD side for a while before continuing this.

Always reassuring when a long running series has a particularly good entry in a later volume. As has happened in the past, this one shone not because it was particularly zany (though the comic quality of this series is to be treasured) but because it managed a multi-episode narrative that was semi-serious in tone, and, as has regularly appeared in the series, commentary on how war affects people as individuals.
1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Because half the book focused on characters that have never had the spotlight before, it was engaging to read their backstory, but it does mean that we get less time with other characters. This volume still had a lot of time for Anya and her school shenanigans, and even space for a short-lived closed circle mystery with possible supernatural serial killer that I honestly would happily have read a whole graphic novel about, but Loid and Yor 2w
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 definitely got short shrift as a result. Hopefully we get more of their combination of badassery and hijinks in the next volume.
