I ordered fancy bread and it’s all moldy no burger on a bun for me. Back to the lettuce wraps with ye. Sigh.
Reading one of the worst YA dystopian fiction books I’ve ever read. If I didn’t know better I’d think it was poorly done satire. But I’m already 1/3 of the way through and don’t really want to put the work into starting a new book. So I keep reading it. And rolling my eyes. A lot.
ETA HOW DOES THIS HAVE A 3.7 on goodreads?!?
Which one?
The wind storm totally wrecked all the hoop houses and tons of fields at our CSA farm. Insurance won’t cover it apparently. Our farmer started crying in her update video. So sad for them, this is only the farms third season I think? And they were moving to supply restaurants this fall.
That sucks
I also haven’t heard from her about the grant application we helped her write, and they should have selected by now, which makes me think they didn’t get it
Phenylephrine is pointless, and it’s stupid that it’s sold as a decongestant.
3h wait at the passport office, brutal cramps and a baby
I do not prefer my husband’s hair and beard cut
I did not succeed in catching the closet spider in the spider catcher and now I’ve lost it so Daughter has shut her closet door and moved downstairs to the guest bedroom.
Follow up TC: picked up paper towels at the closest corner store instead and they are the thinnest, crappiest towels possible
You see, corporate overlords, when you lay off everyone who knows anything about a project, and the project comes back years later for a reprint, some drone like me gets stuck figuring out WTF happened and why the files are such a mess and what even is the right file set when shit doesn’t match!
And literally six hours after work travel was officially reapproved (again) today and finally booked, they decided to change the travel date. The people in charge of this mess are idiots. And also really shitty communicators. And also I’m not changing my flight until someone a few levels up makes it an order because I have zero faith that anything about this is finalized.
I’m still reading this stupid fucking book. It’s gotten even WORSE. To the point that it now, properly, feels like satire and I’m enjoying it in a hate-reading-rage-inspiring sort of way. reading this and being aggressively annoyed and knowing some people loved this?!? Absolute insanity. My complaint is that I’m incapable of stopping reading fiction. Non fiction I’ll leave half finished, but I’m just… unable to only half read a work of fiction. It haunts me if I don’t finish.
See, now I have to borrow the ebook (my library apparently has 3 copies) and read this rq to see how terrible it really is. Thanks a lot, I already have like 3 YA books, two parenting books, and the Dark Tower series to read right now. Such a bad influence…
it is every terrible YA trope imaginable. The Quirky girl who is just So Special, and Hard but also So Compassionate, and all the inexplicably Hot Tall Muscular boys can’t help falling for her even though it should just be Another Job, and they have beef with each other and Love Triangle! And the writing is so, so bad. And it’s inexplicably pretty extremely graphic violence for such bad writing, it’s like a high school freshman sharing every intrusive through they’ve ever had after googling a guide on how to write a YA novel… there’s also a poorly written Irish accent and cliche language borrowed from romance novels. It is SO BAD.
Walking away from bad books can be an act of self- care.
I only recently got there with non fiction. however, I will not CONTINUE the series after this one.
They didn’t get it no farms in our entire county did.
