whatcha readin'? 2020 {book 19::goal 30}

This book was ok…
I didn’t love it, I didn’t hate it.
It didn’t grab me, it didn’t hold onto me
in a death grip making me
need to know what happened next.

But…it was ok.

I don’t actually know a lot about anna kendrick
to be honest
but I was drawn to this book
but that cute little title….
scrappy little nobody.

That just sounds like a book I want to read.

And it was good.
I like memoir kind of biography mixed with
a little coming-of-age….
I fully enjoyed reading this.

I had a bit of a love/hate
relationship with this book….
actually,
not even really love/hate.
It was more of a meh/hate
relationship.

It was an ok read.
I didn’t love it.
It was amusing in places but
I found it long…it took me a long time to finish it.
I just wasn’t drawn to it.

i think that deserves a cupcake!!
(and seriously, these are my most favorite little things…)

anyway…heehee…back to the book.

I loved this book…
and it’s funny that I did because
I don’t like short stories
and while this wasn’t a short story
it felt like an amalgamation of
short stories
shared as anecdotes
to make up an entire story.

Her writing was beautiful.
There was a lot happening in a book
where
nothing seemed to really be
happening.

There was a lot said about the
main character
in a book that didn’t seem to
describe the main character.

You should totally give this book a try.

This was a great quick summer read.

It carried me along quickly
on a maze of twists and turns,
made me wonder
and try to figure what
was actually going on
and at the same time,
I was able to empathize….
I remember what being a new mom
felt like.
Always worried you were doing the wrong thing,
that you weren’t doing the same thing,
that you were being judged,
that you were screwing your kids up
FOR LIFE….

And really, that fear almost never goes away.

But anyway, I digress.

Great summer read book.
:)

This book is up for grabs if you
have a book you want to trade for it….
