Only a minute in and I had to pause to comment that I DO THE SAME THING RE: physical bookstores! Like I’m always gonna have my anticipated releases preordered online, so I looove just browsing and letting book covers call to me 🥹💕
Books and Bao introduced me to Walking Practice. I tried it and steered away because of some of the grotesque material. However, I was in bookstores looking for Pink Slime and Kittentits today, so you're succeeding in influencing me towards those books. Hope you're doing well!
I saw saw that Lego bonsai and almost picked it up for my boyfriend. Landed in the vintage powder blue Vespa 🛵. He was in the “scooter scene” in high school and had a Vespa. We put it together and it’s SO CUTE! Has a little basket on the back with a flower bouquet. 💐
Thank you!! And happy birthday to you! lol I’ve been getting some cards in the mail from family and friends and clearly they agree cuz I’ve got a lot of gift cards to buy books with 😏 won’t stop me from spoiling myself too hahaha
AHH yes open throat was amazing and ugh this is making me want to re-read it physically bc i listened to the audio so i feel like i missed so much from the experience of reading the book physically!!
My husband is currently reading more than I am too, I love it! Something must be in the water lol The bonsai is so cute, I made the orchid Lego but now I might need the bonsai I am also guilty of impulse buying books that I never get to. Glad you found a 5 star 🩵
I had a good time following the narrator throughout the story, but it was both bizarre and amusing, with beautiful and touching moments. I would not have found this book on my own so thank you!
Ah! Love the footage of the drive. I have family in Hawaii and it’s making me want to go back to visit again! Also I’ve had my eye on Unsteady for a while and am super curious. Also also happy birthday! You’re definitely supposed to buy a ton of books for yourself on your birthday or else I’m doing it wrong.
I love driving around here, its so beautiful 😍 Thank you!! And lol you are absolutely right! 😂 My mother in law actually just sent me a bookstore gift card so now I can get even more books 😈
not me being really excited to hear your thoughts on peace by Helen oyeyemi. I have a few of her books but none has really stuck + all have felt way to confusing for me to follow through so I totally understand where you're coming from. im still trying to find /MY/ oyeyemi, the one book by her that sticks and makes me love and understand her...
Saw "Open Throat" on the thumbnail and had to click immediately! It's the only book I've rated 5 stars this year so far. I'm so glad you liked it too. 🥹

Ahh sorry! Just was not vibing with it 🫣 I am so intrigued by her tho just from the little I read, seems like an amazing writer
Me, a parent: "Girl. You are NOT wrong." 😅 The amount of times my own kids trigger overstimulating from being loud is...a lot.
😂
That is such hippie book choosing just picking a book from the cover
It’s so fun to do!!
I can’t stand the “Dear Reader” stuff either! You’re really selling me on Open Throat 🐆
Ok thank god I’m not alone 😂
You should try it!!
I didn't know you are a mom. ❤
