3.5/5 stars. I had such high expectations for this book and they weren‘t totally meet. I loved Shrill (both the book and the tv show), so maybe my expectations were a bit too high. Even though everything in this book is so on point, I really feel like it‘s just preaching to the choir. Nothing Lindy says is really adding something new to the discourse that is already out there. That said, I still 100% recommend this book!

I‘m only two stories in and I‘m already obsessed with this book! I‘m already predicting it‘s going to be my favorite book I read this year!

Daisy Jones & The Six was a wonderful book. I highly, highly recommend listening to the audiobook. I‘m not sure I would have enjoyed it nearly as much if I had just read the book. All the narrators added so much more to the story!

In the process of cataloging all my books, I‘m rediscovering all of my signed books. I especially love David Sedaris‘s signature!

My cat insisted on making an appearance in the photo of my library book haul 😸📚

Sunday reading

Pretty strong start to the year. This graphic novel exploration of conspiracy theories is timely and made me feel uncomfortable (but in a good way). 4/5 🌟

Spent my morning reading in front of a roaring fire, cuddling with my cat, and enjoying Christmas decor 🎄😺📚

If I hadn‘t been reading it for a book club, there is no way I would have finished it. I found none of the characters likable, which isn‘t necessarily bad. What is bad is that I disliked them because they were all cliches. It‘s been a while since I read a book that cause me to eye roll so hard that I gave myself a headache.

So excited to finally dive into this!

Finally getting around to organizing my books (most of which have been in storage since January)!

I‘m loving this book! An excellent summer read!

After spending the whole day moving and unpacking, I‘m so grateful I can dip my feet in my pool(!) and enjoy a drink and take a reading break.

I‘m moving in 2 days and this is the lone book I haven‘t packed. I still have to read something during my lunch break at work tomorrow!

Has anyone had any shipping issues with orders from Tin House? I placed an order back in April and the status of my order still says “processing.” I‘ve sent to emails to the order support address listed on their website and haven‘t gotten a response. I decided to send them an Instagram (since I don‘t have Twitter) message to see if they would respond. I‘m a big fan of Tin House‘s publications, but not a huge fan of their customer service 🙄

Treating myself after a long day at work. A bit of reading a beer while waiting for Deadpool to start!

My book purchases might have gotten a little out of hand this weekend😬

When your favorite wizard rock band makes a surprise appearance in the book you‘re reading...(But seriously, Harry and the Potters are amazing and my nerdy little heart will never stop loving them)

I couldn‘t decide what to read, so I‘m just switching books every 20 minutes. This doesn‘t seem like the most effective way to read...

Is anyone else already kind of over this game? I was so exited for it, but so far I feel like I only get like 5 minutes of play time, then I have to wait for ever for my energy to build back up. It‘s definitely not what I thought it was going to be...

Soooo I think it‘s a pretty safe bet that we aren‘t going to get the next Song of Ice and Fire book anytime soon...😒

This is honestly unbelievable! I thought for sure the killer would go the way of Jack the Ripper or the Zodiac Killer. If on Michell McNamara was alive to see this! She played such a large part in finding the killer.

So excited to finally get my hands on this bad boy! I‘ve been waiting almost a month for it to arrive!

So incredibly accurate.

I am here for an all dog remake of the lord of the rings

When your book matches your monochrome color scheme 📓

My ideal apartment layout

So excited for both of these books! And those covers are to die for! #bookhaul

After driving from Ohio to California in a little over 48 hours, I‘m so ready to read and enjoy this view for a few days before I move into my new apartment.

When you are moving across the country in a week and a half and you should be packing but all you want to do is read and enjoy beer at your favorite local brewery.

First book of 2018! This book of poetry was a little strange, but also wonderful. “Rape Joke” is such a powerful poem that everyone needs to read! 3.5/5⭐️

Starting out 2018 with a book purchase.

Not a bad year for reading!

I really loved The Martian so I had high hopes for this book. After 50 pages, I still had no interest in the story, so I‘m DNFing it. I have to many other books on my TBR that I would much rather read instead.

Trying to enjoy this view until the last second before I leave for the airport and go back to cold, depressing Ohio.

Making some Friends themed holiday cross stitch!

Not the greatest graphic memoir I‘ve ever read, but enjoyable nonetheless. It follows the lives of the author, her mother, and her grandmother. Most of the book is about the grandmother surviving the holocaust, which I thought were the best parts. I also really like the illustration style. 3/5 ⭐️

A snowy day seems like the perfect day to read a graphic novel about Agatha Christie!📚❄️

The best books of short stories I‘ve read in a long time! It took me a while to read because I wanted to savor it. Yes, the stories are very bleak, but they are written absolutely beautifully! 5/5 stars
