Cuilin I‘m not sure I want to read anymore but I will. It‘s triggering something. Can you get secondhand melancholy from a book? 2d

ElizaMarie The part - “It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash again the next. It made me tired just to think of it.“ - Made me so so sad for her!

@Cuilin I feel a bit of the blahs too after reading this chapter. (edited) 2d

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin @ElizaMarie for sure! It‘s gloomy and snowy here in SC and she‘s definitely got me feeling the blues 2d

mcctrish This might not be the best book for February blahs - I went outside for the first time in days today. I was putting on a bit of a protest against winter and left to my own devices I could have held out longer but my husband was grousing that we had no apples left for his lunch. Or bananas. Or berries. Anyways I went to the grocery store and I survived. I feel Esther‘s pain. Adulting is hard. I don‘t think electric shock is the answer 2d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish we have like zero food in our house 🤣 I have hated the grocery store ever since Covid, I‘m scarred for life 2d

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead I want to know why the cashiers don‘t bag groceries for you anymore?! It just makes me lose my mind with rage! I‘m spending $260 on groceries in a store, I could go anywhere, I‘ve chosen this one, appreciate my business UGH 2d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish you need to move to SC 🤣 they bag your groceries and will push your cart to the car and unload them too 2d

willaful @mcctrish They found out how much they could get away with during lockdown. 🤬 I'll never forget the gas station that had closed down its public bathrooms “for your safety“ but of course didn't require masks. Security theater, so much of it.

This was definitely a depressing chapter. Esther seems pretty seriously mentally ill to me, but damn, shock treatment is a lot before trying something else, *anything* else! 2d

mcctrish @willaful or how little 😡 2d

Bookwormjillk This chapter was really hard to take. 2d

dabbe How does this doc only see her TWICE before recommending shock therapy? Was that the 1st answer in the 60s? A very difficult chapter to read. She reminds me in so many ways of Holden Caulfield. 😞 2d

Ruthiella @mcctrish The supermarket doesn‘t bag your groceries? They do here in Southern California. We do have to put them on the conveyor belt ourselves. When I was a kid, the cashier also emptied the cart for the shopper. (edited) 2d

mcctrish @Ruthiella 🤯 I‘m conducting a poll on FB of what stores bag or if anyone even cares 🤦🏻‍♀️ my usual store does bag but I went to a store close to home today instead of the one on the way home from school and no bagging, even though I gave her my bins to load 2d

mcctrish @dabbe RIGHT? 2d

ElizaMarie @mcctrish @dabbe @willaful yeah I don‘t think she really needs ECT (I have treated patients pre and post ECT and—- try something first! ) like 2 doc appointments and they already gave up!? (edited) 2d

Clare-Dragonfly Yikes, as I expected—the shrink sucks. Going straight to electric shocks is not wise! Do you really think she‘s going to Chicago? There was something about a stop two blocks from her house. Sadly I just don‘t think she has the chutzpah to do something so bold. 2d

CogsOfEncouragement I finished this chapter after a short walk in the sunshine. Very helpful. 15h

julieclair This chapter made me so sad. Her depression, the shock treatment, the overall feeling of flatness. Just sad. 8h

Clare-Dragonfly I was really hoping Theresa would ask for an explanation, Emily would give one, and V would go “wait that‘s not accurate!” We only have a few chapters left, guys, get it together! 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish on a daily basis due to brain fog I say “is this Covid, ADHD, or menopause?” I‘m now going to add in “or was I bitten by a vampire?” 🧛‍♂️😝 4mo

mcctrish @Cuilin I‘m going to say vampire from here on out, makes my life more exciting 4mo

CatLass007 🧛‍♂️ 4mo

rubyslippersreads Lucy certainly had a lot of beaux. And three out of the four actually wanted to *give* her their blood. 😂🦇🩸 4mo

Bklover @Cuilin I blame everything on menopause, but maybe I should switch to 🧛‍♀️😂 4mo

BarkingMadRead @bklover @Cuilin 🧛🏻‍♀️ is so much cooler, IMO 🤷🏻‍♀️ nobody would dare come at you for symptoms of being a vampire 🤣 (edited) 4mo

Bravey: Chasing Dreams, Befriending Pain, and Other Big Ideas | Alexi Pappas

pick

"...essential guidance to anyone dreaming big dreams" sums this book up nicely. I enjoyed this and learned a lot more than I expected to, both about Alexi and about myself. And I feel more inspired to show up and put in the hard and mundane work to chase some of my dreams that I've decided are real.

So I'm one of those out of sight out of mind types. So this year I did my #popsugarchallenge book prompts into a 3rd grade sticker chart type situation. Tacked it above my bedside table so I remember to follow it (as best I can) this year. 😂🖤☺ #artproject #notmyforte #muchlove #goals #2019 #icandothis #maybe #chickenscratch

Reading Corner: Where are my Glasses? | Anne Adeney

Fighting a cold sucks, so when you can't breathe/sleep, getting up and reading in your 'springtime' chair works. I may be useless at work today, but got a few unexpected hours in already today. #hellovitaminc #goodbyecold #maybe

RebelReader That chair is spectacular! 💕 I hope you feel better soon! 7y

CuriousG That's sweet of you @RebelReader - I'm sure some vitamins and a lot of tea will do the trick. And I thought the same thing about the chair. Bought 2 matching ones the second I saw them! Surprisingly it is from Home Hardware (so if you are Canadian that will mean something to you. Lol) 7y

RebelReader @CuriousG I live in Minnesota which is close to Canada! 🤣. I‘m guessing Home Hardware is similar to our Menards! ❤️ 7y

AmyG Feel better. I love your reading spot! 7y

CuriousG Thanks @AmyG - this chair is actually waiting to go into my backyard 'reading shed' in the spring, but I didn't want to wait that long to use it! I'm not good with delayed gratification 7y

A Strange Scottish Shore | Juliana Gray

so-so

This book was well written but I was disappointed. I expected a smart mystery with an intriguing MC and supernatural elements. Instead I got a half-baked medieval romance where everyone told the MC that the love interest was violently in love wih her. As the first book of the year, it was lacking. Still I liked it enough to continue the series.

dragondrool You're ahead of me. My last stall-out was p.409. I find the peace parts very readable, but the war parts are a slog to me. 7y
