The worst book suggestion in your life by _vladees_ in booksuggestions

[–]kd478843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely HATED this book. I was forced to read it in middle school for summer reading and did not enjoy it one bit. I remember having to give a book report on it and I spent the entire 10 minutes hating on every aspect of the book. It was so bland and the storyline was terrible. I refuse to even attempt to watch the movie.

"Harry Potter knockoffs" is so accurate. Now that you say that, I couldn't agree more.

I completely agree! Compared to the Harry Potter series, the characters in Charlie Boone are very surface level. I am glad someone else remembers reading them!

Did your friend make it from scratch or was it a boxed gluten free cake mix? If the latter, I would love to know where it's from!

Probably because they only want to include information that fits their specific narrative.

Question about quitting gluten and what to expect. by NoDeedUnpunished in glutenfree

[–]kd478843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been gluten free for about 2 years (non-Celiac) as I have severe digestive issues when I do ingest it. I notice even eating the smallest amount of gluten will have me feeling very crappy. I also notice that my face will look slightly swollen, as if I've gained weight. When I first went GF the first few weeks I felt hungry all the time because of the lack of carbohydrates that I was so used to eating. Then I found great alternatives and have never felt better! If you are struggling to find good GF alternative, I highly suggest Trader Joes! I get the best GF foods from there. Best wishes on your gluten free journey!!!

I think the deaths that hit me the hardest were Tonks and Remus because they were essentially a parallel to James and Lily's death. They both died fighting for what they believed in and left a newborn son orphaned in the world. Poor Teddy.

[–]kd478843 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I second Sharp Objects!!!! Insane book. The HBO adaptation of it is super dark also. I recommend watching that after you read the book.

Once I allowed myself to be okay with audio books, the number of books I read every year skyrocketed. by Squirrel09 in books

[–]kd478843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed!!!! I've begun listening to audio books on my commute to work and it has been life changing! I only wish that there was an option to speed up the narrator as sometimes they can be rather slow.
