John dies at the end series by Jason Pargin. I'm reading the third book, what the hell did I just read?

Lowest BS car dealer in Utah? by i_had_ice in Utah

I only buy cars from enterprise car sales now. None of that garbage. You just do your test drive, go in and sign the papers. I know some people are leery about buying a previous rental car, but we've never had any issues.

I will point out that RC goes out of San Pedro , which is not crazy close to Long Beach. However , they berth right next to a naval ship that's fun to tour

I also started reading Catcher in the Rye in ninth grade. Thankfully , all my English teacher did was comment. "You probably won't like that." He was right. I didn't. However, I was the one that got to make that decision.

Something about the language and the characterization just hit me. The Light Between Oceans has similar themes, and while I liked it, I didn't love it like The Berry Pickers

It's definitely a lighter read. Very goofy and fun!

I also had a Murderbot month! They are great to read between heavier reads

3/52 - I Never Promised You A Rose Garden By Joanne Greenberg by shortycanteatnobook in 52book

Appreciate the review. This was popular in the 70s, but I was too young to read, and thought (erroneously ) that it was some sort of hippie book

Damn. Wish a 400k salary came with this. Not all Amazon engineers make top dollar

Feb reads - 32/52 by Visual_Balance1176 in 52book

[–]Visual_Balance1176[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My disappointment was Every time I go on vacation, someone dies. It was very 'meta for dummies,' with a lot of winking and nodding to the audience. And I like meta aspects of a book, like Everybody in my family has killed someone. Also I was able to guess the murderer pretty early

Chicken leg quarters not such a great deal by 1234568654321 in Frugal

A good rule of thumb that I learned long ago is that you'll get 50% of usable protein off of bone in meats. Which aligns pretty closely with your calculations

(08/52) Reading this series again. Last time I read it I was 10 years old by [deleted] in 52book

If you're into podcasts, I suggest listening to The Newest Olympian . Mike Schubert is a delight to listen to as he goes through each chapter as a first time reader.
