My kids say, “You've got to read it!“

Will this be my kids' favorite of Judy Blume's books? Without having started it, they think yes.

Not my kids‘ favorite as there‘s a lack of Fudge.

We read this as a family last week and our kids loved it.

Thank God for kids‘ sporting practices which allow me to sneak in extra reading. Loving this one so far.

Perhaps my favorite of French‘s series.

A lovely book.

A damn near perfect book.

I‘m 100pp in and I cannot recommend this book enough. Especially if you grew up in The Church in the 90s/early aughts.

Enough book people I follow/admire/trust recommended this that I finally picked it up.

I‘m a huge fan of Special Topics in Calamity Physics, Pessl‘s first book, and I was surprised to find I loved this one (her third) almost as much.

We do not speak of her second book.

I checked this out from the library a couple years ago but only got halfway through before it was due. Finally bought my own copy.

I‘ve been saving this one for when I really needed it. The time has come.

Loving this.

This book, y‘all. Three days later and I‘m still thinking on it. It made me equal parts sad, enraged, and uncomfortable. A great look into desire and the ways in which women contort and betray themselves to get what they need from men.

Feeling judged by the library, y‘all.

Taffy throwing out some truth.

Finallllyyyyyyyyy!

This book is so freaking delightful. So glad I picked it up when I was in Austin.

Picked this up to read a chapter before bed and got halfway through before noticing it was way past bedtime. So far, real good.

Picked this one up from the library on Saturday and I can‘t wait to dive in tonight!

After discussing with friends it turns out I'm not the only one who read Eleanor as autistic. Great read.

I greedily devoured this book, which although is about quitting the drink is about so much more (being a woman and being ambitious and searching for meaning and recovering from childhood.) It‘s a revelation and I could not recommend it more.

One of the best.

I read approximately 50pp of this before quitting it. Maybe I'm aging out of this genre? I have no problem with unlikable characters, but I wasn't even interested in these people or their problems. Anyone read this and like it?

I don‘t think I‘ve ever laughed AND cried so much reading a single book. I‘ve stretched this read out as long as possible, savoring every last essay.
