Books update 🤓
Still finishing Sept‘s #cbbc, but up next is the tagged (a 2nd‘ary choice for #reallifebookclub) then the Cleo Coyle, my Sept #SeasonalCozies selection. I‘ve been meaning to check out their other work for a long time & I‘m finally doing it!
I also happen to be listening to their 20th (!) in the Coffeehouse Mystery series - definitely one of the better ones! ☕️🩸
Also rec‘d my #fffs package! Thank you @PatriciaU -I‘m so excited!!
Just started and already enjoying this one. I see mixed reviews here. I‘ll try not to read them so I can have a fresh experience. 📚
pickWhere to begin? This book felt like a car crash in motion. You felt it the entire time. The central character is infuriating, willfully destructive, sometimes pathetic, sometimes woefully misogynist/ageist. She‘s always on the verge of seeing her behavior for what it is, blinks, and continues doing it. But isn‘t that life for some people?
Frustrating? Yes. Thought-Provoking? If you can stomach it, yes. The Litsy rating makes sense. 🤷🏻♀️😅😤
pickEungyo & Mujae work in small shops in a market slated for demolition & redevelopment. It‘s a difficult time for those living on the margins as they do—people are disappearing, following their shadows, which have started rising up & leaving, & life is never easy. As they fall in love, the young couple asks seemingly small questions which actually have a lot to say about capitalism, materialism, community & more. A quiet, intriguing read.
pickThis is a weird book. Initially I was not impressed & almost put it down, then I got kind of swept up. Then it was just too much information, too much emotion, too much sex. But inside my head is too much sometimes, like could I just fucking shut up & give it a rest. That‘s what MJ wrote 🤯 her weaving of perimenopause into this was perfect and I had no idea about ghost baby syndrome. This is totally a book that has to be finished. I like Jordi
The Interrupters opened for Sum 41 Friday and I liked it! Love being exposed to new to me music which is why I love #TuesdayTunes. Here are a couple songs. The first Take Back the Power for tonight‘s debate and the second Kiss the Ground about gratitude.

@TieDyeDude
I‘ll be honest, this started slow for me but has taken an unhinged turn and I‘m seated and here for it.
I went into this book cold solely because it was named the Book of the Summer by a local bookshop since they sold an unprecedented amount of copies. I‘m getting why…and I‘m also slightly concerned/suspicious of my neighbors. 😅
My library hold came in for #camplitsy #betterlatethannever
