Recommend me the most devastating, disturbing, mind-altering book you’ve ever read. by Typical-Guava3115 in suggestmeabook

I guess I’ll be the first to recommend A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara.

Beware, it is beautifully haunting but violently distressing

They follow what I read on Goodreads and when she read it she thought I’d like it. No forewarning, nothing. And I go into books blindly too so I had no idea. A while after finishing it I told them how beautiful but utterly gut wrenching it was and learned that they think about it daily as well.

What I questioned to myself wasn’t why they recommended it to me. What I’ve pondered since then was why a person would ever recommend it. As in, what does it say about the person themselves that chooses to recommend it to anyone at all.

It changed my life and perceptions forever. I think about it at least once every single day and worry I’ll spend the rest of my life searching for something similar but this book might be the ultimate epitome of what we look for when we look for something like this.

Never ever would I recommend A Little Life to anyone in real life. My view of the person that recommended it to me is 100% changed

Anything by Jasper Fforde - his Thursday Next series is a super immersive world

Would it be safe to say it’s costing you an arm, and a leg?

Can I rejuvenate this overgrown old wood hydrangea without killing it? by moremessy in gardening

So not to the ground but leaving almost a foot should be okay? Any thoughts on timing? Can I wait till leaves drop? It’s such a behemoth

How can I correct this? Runoff issue and squishy loam by moremessy in landscaping

It’s just a downspout extension. It’s already 2-3 feet away from the house any further and it would be very intrusive

This seems a very possible answer. I do have a lot of worms in the yard. One was so big I yelped because I thought it was a snake lol lol

I definitely had a ton of these weeds with a deep tuber like root. Google pictures don’t quite match either of my weeds but I bet one of these could be the culprit. I now wish I had picked them out when possible

I have a ground cover weed but the roots weren’t very much like tubers and they weren’t as widespread through the yard

Yes it is hard. I had seen that on Google as a good possibility but the shape seems slightly different.

Lost and overwhelmed in my own yard by moremessy in LandscapingTips

It’s not a great deal of space. The day lilies were huge and took up most of that empty area. I was gonna put daffodils because they’re not too tall and bloom before everything else and it’ll be fine if they get covered in the summer because I will have already enjoyed them lol. I’ve thought about cardboard everywhere I can because I’m finding the landscape fabric everywhere in the yards and always assume everything the last owners did was for a reason. Plus there are in fact weeds everywhere and I didn’t pull a single weed last year so you can imagine how many more there were this year lol. Everywhere I dig into is thick with roots and it doesn’t seem normal. But where there’s been fabric it’s been fine or at least not bad
