Text of the page (random words):
nd get on with it nobody in the editing process could relay to him how very dull and tedious the whole front half of the book is it could have been so much better had they just tightened up the initial story also i m sorry but steve cannot convincingly write in the voice of a teenager anymore this kid is supposed to be 17 years old but he curses and uses the common expressions of a 65 year old man eventually the story did get good though and this book wound up being something i could throw myself into as a welcome distraction on what should have been my dad s 67th birthday you know what was a really good book fleishman is in trouble that book was so engaging right from the very first sentence through to the last i loved it i fucked up though because i had no idea there was such a book before i started watching the fx series based on it and i would always prefer to read the book before watching the thing that was made based on the book i found that show while idly scrolling one night then binged it hard and was obsessed with it after that i had to read the book immediately i needed to compare to the source material and sink deeper into the story it was a deeply affecting read because it was so relatable and the characters were all so real to me i m at a very similar stage of life i get the existential mid life confusion dread and disillusionment that toby rachel and libby are all having so it reeled me in and touched a special place in my heart i recommend this book please read it then watch the show learn from my mistakes i bounced back in november and managed to read 5 books that month maybe it helped that it was an especially grey and miserable fall up here in canada so it just felt nice to be cozied up at home with a book or maybe i was just making really good picks because i loved my salinger year the clementine complex and chasing the boogeyman plus i got my hands on the newest instalment in the you series by caroline kepnes for you and only you which i gobbled up compulsively i love that creepy stalker weirdo joe he is such an interesting character because he is a legit psycho but he s convinced himself that he s just a sweet romantic idealist with so much love to give i m always excited to find out what he s up to and who he s tormenting chasing the boogeyman was insane i could not put that book down but i was also so creeped out by it it got under my skin in the best possible way i don t want to spoil even a little bit of it for you but if you re interested in a story about a small tight knit town being rocked by a series of heinous unexpected murders in the 80 s then you should read this book speaking of creepy things i need to talk about birdman for a moment this is a novel that was written in the 90 s and it s the first in a series about a homicide detective who solves grisly crimes at first i was quite enjoying it because i do like to read about murder and psycho killers and all kinds of wicked stuff like that i like solving a mystery as we go and trying to guess the twist but as the story started to unfold it got more and more sick and gratuitously violent about midway through the book i thought to myself this could be a good new series to get into but as we got closer and closer to the fucked up ending i knew i didn t want to come here again and a quick google summary of the second book s plot told me the subject matter was exponentially more dark and twisted going to places too gritty and vile for me so i noped myself out after book one and i won t be looking back we sold our souls wins a special nod for having one incredibly intense scene that actually made me physically uncomfortable a really spectacular moment of psychological and physical horror that overlapped and put me mentally right into the shoes of the protagonist as she was making a desperate bid for escape i wanted her to get away so bad but the walls were closing in literally and i didn t think she d make it even though we all know the hero can t die mid book i actually squirmed in discomfort and got a bit panicked the tension was just too much i love grady hendrix for that exact reason he is such a masterful builder of suspense he is getting better and better with every publication i ve become a lifelong fan and devotee of his work and a tip of my cap to the one and only the funniest person i wish i had the chance to know in real life norm macdonald for writing the most batshit ridiculous memoir i ve ever read he was such a special treasure don t expect to learn anything at all about norm don t expect anything to make sense or be coherent or literary just laugh it s what norm would have wanted i miss him and i didn t even know him i hope he s resting in hilarity i miss what he brought to the world overall i d say it was a good year of reading very few duds in the mix if any at all this year i m working towards reading way more regularly and i m pursuing a bigger goal i want to read a minimum of 50 books in 2024 and i m very well underway attacking that goal i ve already read 27 books so far this year one more than in all of 2023 so i think i m off to a great start i should be able to crush this goal with ease as long as there s lots of reading material close at hand and while i ve got my nose buried in a book i feel like i m subconsciously working through my grief and healing this is my safe happy place right now lovingly enveloped in the fictions and stories of the intrepid heroes legendary iconoclasts quirky characters and kindred spirits who i root for and admire i never feel alone in the embrace of good storytelling so that s where i ll be until next time crack a book and keep your noses clean and please for me if you have an incredible dad or father figure in your life that you re still lucky to have with you tell him you love him just because life is precious and a damn good dad is a rare precious thing pass the good vibes on share on facebook opens in new window facebook

what up 2022 is over bringing almost 3 complete years of pandemic life to an end i m happy to say that my family and i have embraced a lot more normalcy this past year than in the years prior we ve started being more open socially meaning we re not living in hermetically sealed isolation any more woody man is in daycare and actually experiencing day to day life and learning with other children he s taken to it like a duck to water he loves going every day and he s learning a lot it s been so good for him and us i ve even eaten pizza at an actual pizza joint again it was glorious double cheese and pepperoni freshly baked with a crisp and fluffy crust the stuff my dreams are made of pizza perfection i m also very excited to report that i am still a functioning working adult who is able to read a book from time to time when there s time and very rarely is there time for anything other than sitting on my couch drooling mindlessly in front of the t v at the end of the day but that s okay i have a kid he s two and a half it s exhausting you work full time busting your butt every day and then you immediately have to shift into parent mode to be present and caring for your child while navigating a billion screaming toddler tantrums about a billion seemingly nonsensical things i m talking about the outright bawling of wildly unregulated emotions because the blue plate is in the dishwasher right now and he has to eat dinner off of the green plate instead it leaves you utterly exhausted in ways you can t comprehend unless you re in the parenting trenches too lots of you know exactly what i m talking about how it is at this stage there s cuteness and fun and laughter and hugs and hijinks galore but there s the real gritty and gruelling work of parenting day in and day out and those tantrums have made even the best of us seriously consider going out for a pack of smokes and never coming back all that to say that when i feel like i have remaining brain power leftover at the end of the day sometimes i put it towards reading and this is what i read this past year officially beastie boys book by mike d adrock january 2nd dietland by sarai walker january 13th billy summers by stephen king february 3rd the hollow ones by guillermo del toro chuck hogan april 26th horror stories by liz phair may 7th yearbook by seth rogen may 12th hunger makes me a modern girl by carrie brownstein june 1st daisy jones and the six by taylor jenkins reid july 1 the island by adrian mckinty july 14th where d you go bernadette by maria semple august 1st red at the bone by jacqueline woodson august 8th the final girl support group by grady hendrix august 23rd nsfw by isabel kaplan september 1st they both die at the end by adam silvera september 12th a house at the

the night by riley sager november 7th the burning girls by c j tudor november 27th this thing between us by gus moreno december 21st the southern book club s guide to slaying vampires by grady hendrix december 25th i exaggerate my brushes with fame by kevin nealon december 27th i think it was a respectable output this year overall i m not trying to crush a high volume reading goal like i have in previous years i m just reading when i feel like it and when i ve got something good i can t put down there were some gems this year but there were some real stinkers that led me into major slumps too i got stuck on the hollow ones for a long time i went for weeks in february and the whole month of march not reading because it just wasn t appealing enough for me to pick up it got off to such a weird and confusing start the opening scene didn t instantly grab my attention in the way that it was trying to i hunkered down and eventually got it done in april so i could move on to something better i switched gears after that and started reading memoirs instead liz phair seth rogen and carrie brownstein all had insightful and interesting stories to share i liked leaning into reality a bit more throughout spring reading season but i also got diverted by a different hobby i bought a paint by numbers kit and got really into doing that at night while listening to a podcast i found an addictive one called history of the 90 s it s excellent i binged it so hard and i look forward to every new episode if you love podcasts if you love the 90 s or even just interesting and well researched coverage of past events you should check it out i went back to fiction in the summer reading daisy jones and the six a book that had been hyped up by a lot of people both sellers of books and readers of books alike i was able to finish it but i didn t get the hype the characters were all dicks and it was so annoying hearing about how special and not like the other girls daisy was on a repetitive loop she was an immature and stupid pill popper i hated reading about her tortured life fronting what sounded like a pretty shitty rock band please there are real problems in the world you frigging brat and really if what you re after is a dramatic and fucked up rock n roll story about a band with members who are incessantly bed hopping with one another abusing certain recreational substances in the extreme and scraping through every kind of petty internal conflict you can imagine just google fleetwood mac they actually did the damn thing that this book so lamely tries to co opt obviously mr stephen king is here i can t go a year without reading something from him and i read 3 books by grady hendrix a new favourite he s a great modern horror writer i really like him i also read a book about potty training because i had to you can disregard that one unless of course you need a recommendation for potty training a toddler this book and it s program work we committed to a full three day long weekend at home with woody no interruptions or surprises to the cadence of our days just drinking liquids and running to the potty constantly it wasn t as bad as we anticipated and he really took to it he went to daycare the following monday and had a perfect day no accidents the daycare staff were all impressed and amazed and it continued well throughout that week he still has the odd slip up here and there but we consider him fully potty trained at two and a half years old so that s a significant win for us again if you need a potty training program this is the one to do looking back i d say these ones are my top 5 picks of the year beastie boys book by mike d adrock amazing just incredible to hear all about the guys and their lives in early 80 s nyc and to get to live vicariously through them to some extent what a remarkable experience this book gives the reader they really let you into their lives in such an intimate way this is a well crafted and heartfelt reminiscence of spectacular youth and freedom i loved every second of it i started over the christmas holidays and just couldn t put it down it was so good but it left me reeling in profound sadness when it was over i remember the day i heard that mca passed away i was at work on a friday afternoon in may and it just broke all of our hearts my heart was broken all over again hearing about it in mike d s and adrock s own words almost 10 years later the special these guys filmed in accompaniment of the book was streaming on apple and it s really good too everyone should watch it it s the perfect companion piece life expectancy by dean koontz okay so this is my first ever reading of koontz can you believe that i love reading horror thriller and mystery fiction so it seems like a no brainer that i would have picked up a koontz long before now but i m a die hard king fan and i just avoided koontz for years because of that bias i assumed he was the lesser version of the all time great the budget version of king the pepsi instead of coke and also i have to admit part of me avoided him because in some way it felt a bit like i d be cheating on steve i m very loyal so that shit does not fly with me but then it happened unexpectedly as it always does i was at the library one afternoon and koontz caught my eye i saw this roguishly good looking blue book with some serious heft picked it up and was immediately charmed by the synopsis on the jacket so maybe it was finally time to cave and give old koontz a chance just this once to see what it s like it s just one book right what could it hurt cue my utter delight and surprise upon reading because it was fantastic whole world view ro...
