A sweet book that introduces grief at a first grade reading level. It illustrates the changes in sorrow and cheerfulness and how a friend can help. #underthedustcover

1. Charcuterie with meats, cheeses, crusty bread, red grapes, and apples. Served with a bottle of my favorite red wine, of course! 🧀🍖🍞🍇🍏 🍷
2. The Electricity of Every Living Thing by Katherine May would be a good choice. I would also take Weyward by Emilia Hart.
Thanks for the tag, @TheSpineView! This was fun! #Two4Tuesday

I dip my brush into the surrounding light and begin to paint, erasing the cold blackness bit by bit, replacing it with warm, bright light. I get all the way to the far edge, until there‘s only a sliver of black remaining—
And I reach up with my brush and paint it white.

Oh Evan, I‘m sending you hugs! This is such a wonderful, heartbreaking story, and I get how easily a tragedy 🎭 such as this could go awry with unexpected tangents in a high school setting. I haven‘t seen the musical but listened to the soundtrack (thanks Alexa!) as I neared the end of this book.

Welcome to the world of Eleanor Oliphant where everything is fine! But it‘s not….What a quirky character Eleanor is. She has no friends, has had only one relationship and is laughed at by her coworkers. An unfortunate incident brings her and a coworker Raymond together where we begin to see the layers of Eleanor peeled away and a healing journey begins. Sad, funny, hopeful and quirky read. 😊

CatLass007 I loved this book! 5d

CatLass007 I hope the author makes good money from the movie. I probably won‘t watch it because, in all likelihood, it will be a disappointment. I don‘t want to be pessimistic but an adaptation almost never holds up when compared to the source material. 4d
Bec_lectic @CatLass007 I agree! Movies always ruin the book. 2d
CatLass007 About 99% of the time. The only exceptions that come to mind are The Princess Bride and Tales of the City. Wonderful books, wonderful movies! The movies are not better than the books but they definitely are at the same level of quality. 2d

Dark, brutally honest. Expressive and impactful art. Thorogood uses a variety of styles and images to depict her struggles with suicidal depression and finding her way as a young adult and burgeoning artist/author.

TieDyeDude So good. And so layered! 7d
jlhammar @TieDyeDude I think your wonderful review put this on my radar - thank you! 7d

It‘s a pick for the right reader. There‘s a valuable message about inherent worthiness and the moral neutrality of a tidy home (no “cleanliness is next to godliness” here). Plus, some practical tips for how to start, or even just tackle the most crucial things, when overwhelmed. But it wasn‘t exactly what I needed, at least not beyond the reminder of how much work I need to do in shedding my perfectionism and separating my motivation from shame.
