Edgar says I am not journaling right now about the best book I've read so far this year. I've read several books (both fiction and nonfiction) by Sarah Moss, and damn, can she write! This was definitely her most vulnerable, and if you choose to read, proceed with caution. It's a hard subject, but she handles in well. She's sharp, intense, and brutally honest even questioning her own unreliability as a narrator of her own story.

TrishB I thought this was amazing. 3w

Kari Ferrell was known as the Hipster Grifter in NYC after articles published gave her this moniker after the discovery of some of her scams around 2009. In her new memoir, she recounts the scams she ran on friends and family, from elementary school in Utah (after being adopted from Soith Korea), through young adulthood in Brooklyn. Terrell‘s scams targeted those closest to her. Though I typically love to read about scams, this missed the mark.

fredthemoose I‘m in the middle of this and feel the same way! A list of crimes just isn‘t that compelling. I think it‘s going to be a bail for me. (edited) 3w
Chelsea.Poole @Suet624 right??! It‘s like I should have seen this coming 😝 3w

Loved my #bookspin book for March!!!! It's a middle grade memoir of a girl growing up in Bosnia just before the war. She is just about the same age as me, so even though it was in a different country, it felt nostalgic. It was a perfect blend of personal, family, and national issues. I love how her culture was portrayed and was saddened by many turn of events. Now I need to read her YA account of the war years...

Uber Eats was like, “You haven‘t had delivery in a while! Here‘s 60% off!” but they‘d only let me use it at the poke place 8km away instead of the location 1km away. So I just went and got takeaway poke for very slightly more money.

Then I ate it and read an enormous chunk of HOW WE MET, which is one of those memoirs so clear and absorbing it practically reads itself. Gonna settle in and finish it this morning before I start my day. #MFMarch
