Happy Birthday to Paul Laurence Dunbar!

Just your friendly dictionary reminder that there are no variations for "unique"! It either or it isn't. Sort of unique, very unique--there's no such thing. And now you know!

Yep. I still imagine thin people chewed this book up in one sitting while fat people are eating it bite by bite. Because it's like chewing glass.

I'm still reading this one. I know lots of people read it in a single day, but believe me when I say it's a different reading experience if you're fat, too.

Oh, man! I'm so tired of seeing people get ADVANCE copies of a book for the purpose of reviewing it who only write 2-3 unexplained sentences on Goodreads. Why are you accepted ARCs if you don't know what "review" means??

I'm having so much fun with this. At first, I didn't like the voice actor's portrayal of Roxie, but it's quickly grown on me.

I think I figured out the twist WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. Now, I wait and see...

My husband picked this book for our "bedtime story," and I'm already hesitant.

Very few people have read this book, and those who have gave it one star. So far it IS rather weirdly written, but I'm not ready to stop--not even close!

THE PERFECT BOOK FOR #WOMENSMARCH DAY!

I'm enjoying following my reading goals for 2017: read positive representations of fat women in fiction and nonfiction, and read the books on my own shelves by or about black women. Up next is Dietland by Sarai Walker and then the book that Hidden Figures is based on!

I had to Wikipedia the plot to see where it is going. I was losing faith a bit. It's restored to, like, 60%.
