In a world of Bigs and Aidans, should we choose either? Love is a Motherf*cker — Ask Samantha.

So, I’m writing again.

So close to finishing this half double crochet blanket, FINALLY

Highly intrigued by the idea of a personal curriculum. I’ve been saying I want to learn something all year. And I’ve been partaking in bite sized fun facts, but I want a program that I can sink my teeth into

A piece of me wanted to venture back to my childhood and re-read the HP series. I won’t do it consecutively because I have other books I want to get through, but I will see if I can do it every other book and tie it up by December. We shall see. Oh 5/5 btw. Elementary but captivating.

It has always bothered me that hermoione lied and said she was trying to fight the troll on her own when she was just being a little emo and didn’t get the news to go to the dorms. This is what my mom means when she says “you lie when the truth sounds better”

Finished Hunting Wives. I am unwell.

Reading Matilda and now I’m curious about what happened in roald dahl’s life that made him want to write about child abuse and neglect?!

Should I re-read the potter series this year?

Okay. 15 books down for the year. 5 left to go. None of This is True by Lisa Jewell was good. Her writing style is a little on the nose, but it’s great if you want an unexpected ending that doesn’t spark your anxiety #booksky

4 months left in the year, 7 books left to read

Finally reading James by Percival Everett and whereas it is an important book, it is hard to digest the subject matter. But we should keep reading books that are hard to digest. Someone has to know these stories. This may be fiction, but it is based on a reality none of us have had to live. #booksky

175 pages into The Girls Who Grew Big and I’m so frustrated 😭

Was in a slump for a little under a month, but I’m back. The Girls Who Grew Big by Leila Mottley has caught my attention so far.

I officially finished the Bratz game on switch. Hogwarts Legacy is still yet to be conquered but I’m going to park that and give dreamlight valley a go 😇

Getting ready to start my 12th book of the year🙌🏽

Okay, several people are typing was not it for me. #booksky

Wait, Blue Sister was SO GOOD! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. Immersive and believable
storytelling. If you are a sibling, particularly an older sister it’s a must read. #booksky

I haven’t read any of her work yet but ppl keep talking about that one in particular. Maybe I’ll add it to my tbr?

I really want to get into gaming but it hasn’t hooked me just yet. The Harry Potter game is good, but I’m a beginner and after a certain level I can’t get past the trolls😭I need something engaging with good storytelling. And I don’t want to make pizza or run a cafe. HELP

I’m doing what I don’t normally do. Current read: Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell. So far, so good actually. #booksky

Wrapped Giovanni’s Room. 8.5/10. Great read, but it wish it was longer and we got to see more interactions between David, Jacques, Guillaume. #BookSky

Do I read the housemaid at some point?

Now reading: Giovanni’s Room. I’m about 25% in. I loved Another Country by James Baldwin. It was dense and a bit challenging tbh, but I’m making it a mission to read more of his works. This one, though loquacious, is marvelous story telling. #booksky

Okay Can’t Get Enough was a 12/10. I love a story when a woman is relentlessly and sexily perused. #booksky

25% through Can’t Get Enough and YES MAAM. Kennedy Ryan has done it again #booksky

Finished Where the Line Bleeds. Everyone needs to explore Jesmyn Ward #booksky

Because of this rabbit hole, I’m going to read the series. I had no idea it was the 3rd book😭

If you liked Sinners, you’d appreciate reading Sing Unburied Sing by Jesmyn Ward. No vampires, but beautiful similarities with the setting (Mississippi) and southern culture, practice, and folklore. #booksky #blacksky

Okay I fully understand why Haymitch was a heavy drinker #booksky #sunriseonthereaping

Finally reading sunrise on the reaping. Slow start, but not bad #booksky
