“Dr. Matthew Vine,” she said, then raised a mocking eyebrow. “The Third. How wonderful.”

I wish I had this book 8 years ago and glad it exists now.

How to Keep House While Drowning: A gentle approach to cleaning and organizing. by KC Davis, lpc

November 3, 2023 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

This past July, I read KatSings review of How to Keep House While Drowning and immediately put it on hold at my library.   Eight years ago I was drowning.  I was a SAHM who was deeply depressed and feeling very worn down with a sickly four year old and a neurodivergent eight year old.  When every day is physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting it’s hard to keep house to the level of “clean” that we often feel morally compelled to do.  And because we can’t […]

October 11, 2023 by Malin 1 Comment

#CBR15 Passport Challenge: Books from different countries (set in and written by a Swedish author, read in Swedish) CBR15 Bingo: Europe (see description for Passport Challenge) Official book description (translated by me): Folk med ångest (literally translated as People with anxiety, official English title Anxious People) is an unusually messy comedy about a hostage drama during an apartment showing, where a failed bank robber locks themselves in with an overly enthusiastic realtor, two bitter IKEA-addicts, a mean multimillionaire, a sad lady, a very pregnant woman, […]

CBR15 Bingo: North America

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

October 8, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

CBR15 Bingo: North America I’ve been hearing about this book since it came out. So many people I know on the internet and whose opinions I trust have read, reviewed and absolutely loved it. So I feel bad only rating it four stars, but for all that that the story and the characters appealed to me, there was something that kept making me prioritise other things over listening more to the audio book, and I never really fully emotionally connected with this one. There are […]

The book, "Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine", by Gail Honeyman, is standing next to a partially complete book bingo card.

It’s pretty obvious from the get go that Eleanor Oliphant is far from completely fine

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

September 21, 2023 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

CBR15 Bingo: Europe – The book is set in Glasgow, Scotland. Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is not a book I would have chosen for myself but it was selected by my book club.  This has been a reoccurring theme since I joined.  I’m glad to be gently pushed out of my comfort zone of almost exclusively reading fantasy, sci-fi, and romance.  It is highly recommended by several Cannonballers so I was excited to start reading.  However, not long after starting I began to question […]

The Sad Bastard Cookbook: Food you can make so you don't die by Zilla Novikov, Rachel A. Rosen

August 28, 2023 by Emmalita 8 Comments

We wish we could come into all your homes and take care of you. But that’s called “breaking and entering” and apparently it’s illegal? Cooking is one of the greatest and most consistent joys of my life. Even so, there are times when I have so little energy that the best I can do is the bare minimum. Since I am white knuckling my way through life with chronic depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and a neuro-spicy brain, I have certain staples that I keep on […]
