I‘m really enjoying this so far. I have watched a bit of the show and was surprised how many stories were directly from this book.

Just started this. Really loving the “reporter” type format with this book. I‘ve heard that this others other book also utilizes interviews as framing devices so I might have something else to add to the TBR pile.

This one is really making me reconsider my digital habits! Of all the social media though Litsy is definitely a more positive place!!

Men carve meaning into women‘s faces, messages to other men.

No one wants to die before the end of the story.

So I have to mark this as a pick because it really is brilliant. I still find myself thinking about it. But I also have mixed feelings. It was difficult to get through and started out seemingly quirky before getting progressively darker. About 3/4 of the way in the circular reasoning was grating but maybe that was the point! I‘m curious about the women in the story though and I‘d love to read something like a Wide Sargasso Sea for this novel.

Almost done with this one...no good character can catch a break in this one!!

Started listening to this audiobook at work! Enjoying it so far!

This is by far the longest audiobook I‘ve ever listened to (20 hours long)! So far it‘s top notch satire but it does drag a bit in the middle. I‘m struggling to keep going!

“Life will not answer to reason. And meaning is too young a thing to have much power over it.”

I read this in one day. I couldn‘t put it down. It was engrossing, heart-warming, funny and tear jerking. The real star of this story is Trevor Noah‘s mother who has such inspiring courage.

A very readable book (found some typos though!). A lot of the manifesting talk reminded me of The Secret along with the vision board ideas. I also strangely enough got some Eat Pray Love vibes from it (if a little more realistic and less like a story). It was quick, pretty fun, and I‘ll definitely be applying some of this to my life.

This was a very touching book. It took me by surprise. It captured the way it felt to be a teenager and just a little bit different. I was also surprised to learn that it is set in Omaha. Being from Nebraska it was really nice to see the area represented in fiction. I think it‘s often overlooked.

This was a quick read (two hours give or take) that was definitely entertaining. I will say though I‘m not sure how I feel about it. I vacillated between amusement and frankly a bit of contempt. It‘s fun to imagine what a certain writer might have thought about one thing or another but her actions were really reprehensible. Perhaps it‘s unkind to say but I couldn‘t help but think: it‘s no wonder people aren‘t taking your calls. Verdict? So-So
