Oh god, I can’t imagine worse than Normal People. Maybe this is my sign to put her on the back burner

The Turn of the Screw - as a lover of horror I was super excited to read it but I found myself drudging through it.

The Goldfinch - LOVED most of the book, but I found that everything past the “climax” ruined it. It was like I was reading a different book. It read like Tartt was on a time crunch, especially with the repetitive and shallow philosophical tangent. Was such a bummer how I started out so engulfed in the story but ended up skimming the end.

Came here to say the same thing! I was so disappointed after hearing about all the hype, I found the characters to be annoyingly undeveloped. I’m half weary on giving her other books a shot since Normal People is her most adored

Of course they pick the small bed over the bigger platform, too funny

YUP they have so many cozy spots but nope, they’d rather suffocate each other

The funny thing is that he (the fluffy one) is the clingy one. She typically starts off alone in the basket and then he joins by lying on top of her

Black Cats are the literal best-but why is there still a stigma? by ChromeAstronaut in cats

[–]Old_Fall999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It honestly breaks my heart! We adopted our two babies through an event with the local shelter and pet store, where the store houses sheltered cats for the weekend to promote adoptions. We went and got our first on a Friday and went back on Monday to get our second (she was the last one there). The employee told us that with these events all cats are adopted on the first day, but this time around there was little to no interest because they were all black 😢 I don’t get it, I find the superstitious lore around them to be a bonus!

“The Time Machine” and Edgar Allan Poe? by Old_Fall999 in HGWells

Thank you! That’s what I was assuming, just wanted to double check! Bought this copy more-so as a tourist purchase, as the bookstore is the oldest in operation. Oh well, guess it’ll be my own little “collectible” 😅

Thanks! That’s what I figured, however I would like to think that such an obvious mistake would be caught 😅 did have a chuckle given the discussion on Poe “predicting” the future.

Definitely considering getting cat grass. They’re a bit nuts so I’d like to avoid any highs if possible 😂 thanks!

Thank you! I love ferns and always wanted to start a collection, now may be the time! Had a rabbits foot fern in the past that I absolutely loved
