Pickpick

Un libro trovato per caso in un book crossing, dove è raro trovare qualcosa di valido, raro ma non impossibile. Questo libro l'ho trovato molto toccante, con delle descrizioni tenere e malinconiche ma dettagliate che sono state come delle carezze e hanno facilitato a immaginare e sentire. Succede tanto e niente allo stesso tempo, ma non importa perché in questa storia guidano le sensazioni più che i fatti.

This was quite fun! I never connected as much as I hoped I would, but I still appreciate the adventure, camaraderie, and silliness.

Arnie Yashenko, 8th grader, has all the panache of a modern #superhero. He‘s tall, quick, agile, good student, good at any sport he tries, not to mention already plays on a high school football team. Korman‘s new book is clever and amusing, published this year.

Quirky story about a man who tries to find his way in the world after his mother dies. Soft pick. #sundayfunday

Not really a coincidence that the movie is on TV right now, but it is a surprise to read these words: "Almost every moment of her life she lives in the moment where she is. It's like the guy in Memento. It's like every day is Groundhog day."
Identifying with the author as she's looking at ways to maintain her own brain health by reading, writing, and relearning math. Tagged another of her books as this one is not in the database. #groundhogday

I started this book, and liked it. Then a little less and little less, and when Junie started to be mean to the dog with no real reason, this book turned out to a Pan. No, the characters were unlikeable from the beginning, but then I thought them interesting because of that. But more and more they all turned out to be nothing more than annoying. Guess Marjorie Kellogg is no author for me.

⭐️⭐️

At least 10 “R-Words” in this read before chapter 5.
If that doesn‘t piss you off or turn you off to reading something, well, it should.

So instead of posting the cover to this book, I‘m posting the only lesson I‘ve learned from today. It‘s been a hard one.

I do not recommend this book to anyone, I expected better from the author & was disappointed this one had been on my TBR for so long.
Leave it on the shelf.

2/2 bails for 2020.

Yikes.
6 times with the “R-word” by the middle of the second chapter.
Not bailing yet, but I am close.
Tempted to start tallying and posting that since everyone would know what it means by now!

Even in a work of complete fiction, it won‘t stop bugging me that I found this so early.
End the “R-word”, PLEASE!!! 😞🙅🏻‍♀️😔

Caffeinated_Reader One of Karen Slaughters books pissed me off because of this. It used the R-word so many times it left me feeling so angry and in a fog. The book is called Broken book 4 in the Will Trent Series. It was great plot and suspense but she used that word an ungodly amount of times. 4y
Chelseabillups30 @Caffeinated_Reader, okay so I will not be reading that one!! Thanks for the heads up!! This just pissed me right off because it was in the first chapter. I‘m not bailing yet because it‘s a creatively written book ,I can tell already, but I hope that‘s the only time I‘m going to see it. I‘m gonna piss off some Littens if I keep having to post about it just to get my frustrations off my chest!! 4y
Caffeinated_Reader @Chelseabillups30 yeah I‘m with you. It‘s one word that authors need to stay away from. I definitely should have bailed on Broken but I really was invested in The Who done it, but I didn‘t feel good about it. Let me know if it‘s more in your book I will cross it off my list if it is (edited) 4y

Chelseabillups30 @Caffeinated_Reader, yup! We‘re on the same page. I agree. I‘m a proponent for everyone staying away from the R-word. I will be sure to keep you posted if I keep seeing it in this one so you know if it got worse, but for now I‘m just gonna cross my fingers that it gets better!! So far I like it otherwise.🤞🏻 4y
Catherine_Willoughby Any book pre 1980s will use this word. In contents its part of the time, "common usage" reasoning . Modern authors don't need to use such insulting words . If they are no longer part of common usage , they are now discriminating . 4y
veritysalter I‘ll let it slide if the book was before the 1980s, but growing up with an aunt with Downs Syndrome, it has always been a major no-no for me and my family. There is no reason, ever to use it now, unless in relation to time. 4y
Chelseabillups30 @Catherine_Willoughby & @veritysalter, this book was published in February 2014, so the author had no reason not to find another word. 4y
Catherine_Willoughby @Chelseabillups30 I saw that after my comment. Very bad choice of words to use. 4y
Catherine_Willoughby @veritysalter my younger sister had a seizure when two , brain damaged. She is nonverbal. Wheelchair bound for years. She has lost muscle mass over the years due to the heavy drugs she takes , can't walk anymore. Ran like an lightning bolt as child/young teenager . The only time she ever said "ma..ma" was at my mums funeral. Cried it out. She will be forever two ? I remember the bullying growing up because of her condition. 4y
