so-so

I love the inspiring message of this book, but it had just a tad too many YA tropes for my liking.
I think if I read this as a teenager I would have been much more impressed.

The Slob | Aron Beauregard

so-so

Um. Ok. So…I decided to try this one, since it was nominated for a splatterpunk award and I‘ve seen people talking about it. But like…wow. Ok. I feel a little dirty after reading it. I did laugh a couple times, but then the author uses#d the “r” word and I was upset. But then…just the sheer audacity of the sexism and homophobia was…a LOT. Not sorry I read it, but would not recommend.

Reggie Kudos to you for trying something outside your comfort zone. I love horror but splatterpunk and extreme horror is not my jam. 2y

Lauranahe Yeah, it was my second foray into extreme horror, but my first into splatterpunk. I think I‘m going to write more of my thoughts about it on goodreads, because I have things I want to say. I don‘t think I‘ll be reading more of Beauregard‘s books tho. 2y

The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland | Jim DeFede

pick

I first learned about this book when I saw the musical that was based on it. Love the musical and I love this book. This book kept giving me goosebumps for remembering the events of 9/11 plus for reading how kind the people of Gander were to these stranded passengers. An incredible book (and musical)! #booked2021 #relatedto911 #litsyatoz #d #littenlisten #4points

4⭐️ A really cute Christmas story. A fairly easy read that surprisingly had a little more meat on the story than some of the other #christmasfiction I read this season. #2021 #fiction #bookreview #bookstagram #dogfiction #litsyatoz #d
