Just a little (link) love: authors and reviews edition
May 23, 2019
We tried being a one car family (involuntarily) and it’s just not realistic at this point of our lives with a kid and two dogs, so my enjoyment of the Bitches’ rant here had everything to do with their writing and nothing to do with my opinion.
Tami on dental health. I had never made the connection consciously but Mom was a diabetic who had serious dental problems (that I thought we had resolved) but she died young of heart issues. I have to wonder now if she would have gotten better if I had been better about making sure she had regular cleanings annually.
Angela, on living with high functioning anxiety.
Tanja’s Don’t Let Life Pass You By While Saving for the Future really hits the nail on the head with my realization this week.
Rich and Regular on Robert Smith’s amazing gift to the Morehouse 2019 graduating class: One of the worst things you could do is replace the burden of student loans with the burden of guilt disguised as gratitude.
Now I have to start reading Laura Lippman, on the strength of this essay and feeling like I like the person she is here: “Motherhood is a story where I don’t control the ending.” On second thought, I don’t think I can hang with her thrillers. Possibly too much tension.
Similarly, I’ll never read anything by this author: Dean Klein. I can’t decide which combination of adjective sums him up: ridiculous pompous entitled?
Chuck Wendig on Poop noise.
Then Sam Sykes waded in
Glad we made you laugh. 😉
I’m not a horror fan to begin with (it’s a genre I tend to avoid), but regardless of genre, I read more of Dean Klein’s work in those screenshots than I ever need to pay for.
