Through the Grinder | Cleo Coyle

I like this book so far, buuuuut… I absolutely despise passages where someone describes themselves like they‘re in love with themselves. Thanks for mentioning your lovely “Italian-roast brown hair” (coffee-themed, I get it) and your “C-cups.” It‘s annoying and would be unacceptable in anything but a cozy. Does this annoy anyone else?

radesilets It is almost like trying to describe it from the other person‘s perspective, which definitely does not always work. C-cups. Eesssh. 3y

bibliobliss @radesilets My thoughts exactly 😬 3y

Happiness Becomes You: A Guide to Changing Your Life for Good | Tina Turner

I daydreamed about growing my own wings so I could fly off to a happier place--a home where nobody fought and I could be loved for being myself.

Transcendent Kingdom | Yaa Gyasi

Only 29 pages in, very different from Homegoing but I am glad the author can write in such different ways. I am starting this while I wait for a library copy of Homegoing to come back in; then I will continue with that one and see which book holds my attention the most! 😝 I'll probably still finish them both. I look forward to whatever Gyasi publishes. Good night!!

Tell me all about this one. I am also currently reading "Homegoing" by the same author. Her writing is beautiful.
