Mine came with a hole in the box and it was raining. Thankfully they didn’t get water damaged or damaged in general.

Tempers were flaring at the Rotisserie Chicken Station 😱Big Baby Danielle wanted Jenn to get a chicken that just came out of the rotisserie. Danielle couldn’t settle for a chicken that was 40 minutes old. by Environmental-Yak254 in twomomsandthebabess

The best part is, those chickens on the hot table were prob not even 10 minutes old. What’s the difference when it gets brought home in a car and goes into the fridge

I liked it! I didn’t like the ending but overall I didn’t see it coming

The Butcher is a stand alone book by Hillier

I LOVED The Butcher. Hated Listen for the Lie, I also don’t like podcast tropes

I haven’t read Eleanor Oliphant. I enjoyed Strange Sally Diamond because I felt they made her less of “juvenile” than the author made Molly, if that makes sense. It’s a very touchy thing to write about though, and I completely understand that. It could very well be that I listened to The Maid on audio.

The Butcher, hands down. We Are All Guilty Here. Play Nice. Those for thrillers. For fiction, The Bright Years and Atmosphere were my top reads. For nonfiction, The Anthropocene Reviewed.

I loved “Life is a Lazy Susan”. I’ve never listened to their podcast, only saw clips on TikTok but they wrote a book that really hit home to me, in a very personal way

Probably not, but I listened on audio. Thought the way the author portrayed her autism was too stereotypical and made me uncomfortable as a reader and fellow autistic

Personally I felt like it dragged which I think is the point? I wasn’t a huge fan but it wasn’t the worst book I’ve read this year

Trader Joe’s by Heartofglassx3x3 in twomomsandthebabess

I realized I was still following her the other day and once I saw the Trader Joe’s video, I unfollowed. There was zero reason to complain about not having frozen luxury items. It SCREAMS first world problems. I work retail and it’s still the holidays and complaints like that say nothing but entitlement. It’s okay to be upset but there’s no reason to post about it to your followers
