I have finished Miracle Creek by Angie Kim, and oh boy, that was the most intense read of my life. (How come it didn't win 2019 Goodreads awards?!) I am now reading I'm Fine and Neither Are You by Camille Pagan and The Limits of the World by Jennifer Acker.

I am feeling to be in a book slump of sorts, and right now I am looking forward to starting and reading a thriller, namely The Wife Between us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. (Pity I won't get the third book they wrote, You Are Not Alone!) 

Took my monkey to the playground today and he played with a seven year old girl. When it was time to go, he was very upset and said he wanted to stay with the seven year old girl in a playground and didn't want to go home. Also a special holiday gift has arrived for him, which he will get on New Years.

    I just got Camille Pagans 2020 book for review, it’s called This Won’t End Well. I still need to read Miracle Creek though.

    Wishing you a great reading week

      Wow, the title sounds ominous! I have finished I'm Fine and Neither Are You, but I didn't like it all that much, to be honest. I hope you'll get a chance to read Miracle Creek, although I will warn you that it's one of the most intense books I've read this year.

G324 E-Reading Book Review of Mozart's Wife by Juliet Waldron

Name of Book: Mozart's Wife Author: Juliet Waldron ISBN: 9781461109617 Publisher: Createspace Type of book: 1700s, Mozart, Konstanza, music, partying, drinking, Opera, debt, birth, Vienna, Austria, marriage, rock star status, destruction Year it was published: 2011 Summary: Jon Baxley, Editor of Amazing Authors Showcase says it all in his review. "This author's fictionalized account of Constanze Webber--an extraordinary woman who just happened to marry an even more extraordinary man named Mozart--brings 18th Century Vienna and its people vividly alive. Constanze would have been a remarkable woman for any era, struggling with her own perspective on life while trying to cope and understand the icon composer with whom she chose to share her life. But as an 18th Century woman, she is all the more remarkable. This book is well written and thoroughly researched, that's obvious from the details in dialogue and events. I suspect little of this work is pur...

If you partake of watching it, you are not worse nor better than I am. We are simply different than one another, and I don't see TV as pedestrian or opium for the masses or anything of the kind. (Am I dumb that I enjoy video games and have played RPG games in the past? Nope.) I grew up in the '90s, arriving as a religious ethnic minority from former So...

See rules here:  Sunday Post Meme #5 Childhood Memories I sometimes wonder how my six year old son will see his life in the future: will he feel that his childhood was ideal, or will the ideal be simply an illusion that I hope to impart to him? I am sure my parents wished and tried to make sure I remember the good parts of life, and there are fleeting glimpses of fun times such as traveling to a water park or even taking a Disney vacation. But beyond the big gestures, I recall yummy food, videos, music in addition to a whole ton of guilt and anxiety. My son, I hope its safe to say, has probably more of an awesome childhood than I did, and I often hope th...
