But the truth is, praise is just like an addiction. The more you get it, the more of it you need just to stay even.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
crazy book lady problems
It’s always so hard to move on to a new book after finishing a truly remarkable one. I just need to sit and bask in the afterglow of this one. Wow.
This one…I adored this one.
In a previous post, I described it as historical fiction meets science fiction meets murder mystery. Just now I read an even better description: Agatha Christie meets Downton Abbey meets Twin Peaks.
I don’t even want to say more than that. It was a thrilling ride. I think I’m going to sit on it for a month and read it again. I can tell I’ll enjoy it even more the second time.
Very highly recommended.

I finally finished this ridiculous piece of trash, and it was a fucking chore to do so. BOTM Club better step up its game.

I absolutely adored this book. I related to every chapter, to the point where I actually exclaimed, “Omg me too,” more than once. This is a book about people who love books; for people for whom reading is a way of life. If that describes you, then you need to read this asap. Very highly recommended.

Marriage didn’t mean any promise of togetherness. But even so, I wanted it to be official. I wanted to stand up and make known those commitments to each other, in front of people who mattered. There was paperwork and a community, a shared life. I wanted that tether to him.

So you can’t just blame the person who leaves. If two people are unhappy, clocking the person who actually walks out the door is just getting them on a technicality.

I’m digging it so far. Cool concept.
Which five people, living or dead, would you like to have dinner with? But what if that dinner was actually to happen?
progress report
I only managed to read two books this week. That’s okay though. I thoroughly enjoyed my non-reading time.
Never Let You Go was pretty disappointing. I normally dig Chevy Stevens. But…meh. I was bored. Finishing was a chore.
A Simple Favor was a wild ride; though I figured out the plot twist about a third of the way in, it was still fun. The film adaptation comes out this month. I believe I shall go see it.
40 books to go to hit my goal. I better pick up the next one!
