Rereading for the book club.

And I am still in the middle. I feel like I am not getting much out of this book and the writing style is just not my cup of tea.

Look I know she is 19 (maybe? if I remember correctly), but boy, is her family useless!

This book is 95% just baseball talk and it is so not what I signed up for!!!

Dirty Daddies book club pick. I kinda missed the book in the past few months, but I will give it a try this month.

Soon to be my favourite memoir?

Don't leave your kids alone in Paris, I guess. Or you'll return home to a new dog 🐶 (and something extra). I kinda miss summer vacation.

I will get lost in this dream house.

I checked the reviews and it seems like people either loved it or hated it. I feel like I am the only one stuck in the middle.

Oh my goddess, how this author is writing! I can feel it in every inch of my skin!

"The memoir is, at its core, an act of resurrection. Memoirists re-create the past, reconstruct dialogue. They summon meaning from events that have long been dormant. They braid the clays of memory and essay and fact and perception together, smash them into a ball, roll them flat. They manipulate time; resuscitate the dead. They put themselves, and others, into necessary context." LOVE

I don't know what I was expecting of this book. It's okay, the writing style is at odds with what I was hoping to get from this book.

The writing flows. It's simple, but nice. I am intrigued. And a little creeped out, naturally.

Caught up on all the Dracula Daily updates missed while on vacation. And now we take a 2 week break if I remember correctly.

Good introduction so far.

Okay, I am definitely too into this fanfic because I am at work and I refuse to work because I NEED TO READ THIS! Also chapter 10... agh, I couldn't breathe!

I am either in a reading slump (thanks, Vanessa and Oliver!) or I am too into this fan-fiction to be able to focus on anything else.

This is really well written - better than the actual books. And I am loving it!

I'm still having trouble keeping up with the characters, but there's something about it, especially about Oliver and the two characters he gravitates around. Plus the mystery!

This fanfic is incredibly well written. My husband pointed out to me that I might be missing out on Drarry and I think he was right!!

And done! Review to follow - soonish. Book club first!

Last few chapters. Let's do this!

In my defence my brain gets tired easily and I just need mindless reading books to keep me entertained, and although this one is captivating enough, I do need breaks from it.

I am confident I will finish the rest of the book in one day. Wish me luck!
