Myhometownandbeyond I am only a third of the way through, but I can let you know once I am finished with it. @AkashaVampie (edited) 4y
Myhometownandbeyond I finished the novel @AkashaVampie and I enjoyed the book for the most part. My favorite chapters were the ones that focused on Parenthood and Gilmore Girls, however there are also chapters that dive into writing, Graham's career beginnings, and the people Graham looks up to (which is 50% of the book). I didn't enjoy these chapters as much, but if you are interested in knowing more than just her time on show (GG) than this is the book for you. (edited) 4y
AkashaVampie @Myhometownandbeyond thanks sweetie. Good to know! 4y

This is my first Listy post in over a year! During the past year, I have spent less time on social media due to being busy with work, family, and grad school obligations. However, I decided now is the time to get back into posting. I might not post on Litsy frequently, but you can also follow me on Instagram @my_hometown_and_beyond .

Thinking about setting this book aside.. It is hard to follow both storylines (Marie snd Werner)...plus the shifts between timelines (past snd present) don't help either... Has anyone had a similar feeling when reading this book and should I keep going..(I am only 140 pages in)? #conflicted #mightdnffornow

Myhometownandbeyond I am going to take a break for now and go back to it later 7y

alisiakae I've never played Phase 10! I also love to hike and bike. 😃 (edited) 7y
Myhometownandbeyond Phase 10 had kinda become a family tradition... We usually always play that or scrabble at family gatherings. In the game you have 10 ish rounds of cards to complete.... And you are creating runs (1234) and sets (2222) each round. My family makes it really competitive. (edited) 7y
LectricSheep The Nancy Drew PC games are amazing! I never knew about them when I was a kid, but I played a couple of the older ones last year while screensharing with friends and had a blast. 7y
Myhometownandbeyond Nancy drew games are so much fun, I just wish they came out with them at a quicker rate, so I can keep playing. My favorite Nancy Drew game is Danger by Design. @LectricSheep (edited) 7y
