One of my favorite series. 💗

My 10 year old discovered fan fiction and fanfiction.net. 🤦🏻 She reads YA and some of her friends are reading some more explicit stuff (she tells me). At least she doesn't know about AO3 yet. I read fan fiction and know how crazy things can get there. Trying to decide if I block ff and AO3 or not...

Book cover for "Girl Dinner" by Olivie Blake, featuring bold pink text on a teal background with a gold fork.

It was sort of a relief that the author specified that it's a satire. I love a social commentary, but this was excessive. Some good points for thought, but SO EXCESSIVE.

Cover of "Adrift" by Will Dean, featuring a car navigating a tree-lined waterside path, with dark, dramatic skies above.

I think the scariest and most dreadful part of the book is the thought that this is probably happening to someone in this world right now.

Book cover for "Her Last Breath" by Taylor Adams, featuring a shadowy cave with light streaming in and bold, blue text.

Quote "The natural order is built on survival, self-interest, discharging strength. This wasn’t quite Nietzsche but more of a Jacob Herman original—he’d always invite her to think of the most altruistic people in the world: the charity workers, preachers, teachers, and volunteers. They’re generous, yes, but only because doing the right thing makes them feel good. They’re still satisfying a need like anyone else. Selfless people are selfish, too. They just get off differently." by Taylor Adams from Her Last Breath.

You cannot pay me to go caving, diving, or cave diving. Just reading this is terrifying enough. Plot was good and twisty though.

Cover of 変な家２〜11の間取り図〜 by 雨穴 featuring abstract floor plans.

Quote "特殊清掃っていうのはさ。要は、人を家から解放してやる仕事なんだ。多くの奴は、逆だと思ってるけどな。「家が死体で汚れたから、きれいに掃除する」と。まるで、人より家のほうが偉いみたいな言いぐさだよな。そんなわけないだろ。人様あっての家なんだ。いつだって人のほうが大事。" by 雨穴 from 変な家２〜11の間取り図〜.

While interesting, there's a lot of circumstantial inference. I would have liked some concrete evidence to support their theory, but I guess it's part of the mystery.

I'm a cynic. I don't see myself in that article at all. My cynicism has never affected my enjoyment of anything. I also don't care enough to comment or dwell on stuff that doesn't concern me. To quote a friend, "you don't give a fuck." I feel like I'm questioning life now. Lol.

He's adorable 🥰

Book cover of "The Names" by Florence Knapp, featuring colorful flowers against a scenic countryside backdrop, with a quote and "Read with Jenna" label.

Quote of "Mehri has always treated parenting like she’s cooking a big warming pan of something: a pinch of that, a pinch of this, she’s sure it will turn out fine in the end. Cora’s own approach has always felt more like baking a cake: carefully measuring out ingredients and trying not to ruin everything. She admires Mehri’s way." by Florence Knapp from The Names.
