Hand Basket

My current audiobook is making me feel like an immature child and it is giving me the giggles.

I am listening to Recursion by Blake Crouch. I’m about 2/3 of the way through and I am really digging it. I keep thinking I know where it’s going and then it curves off to someplace totally unexpected. That’s not what this post is about though.

This post is about how I am a nine year old goofball. One of the characters is named Helena. Every time one of the two readers says the character’s name I insert the words hand basket immediately after it.

Helena (hand basket) said hello.

Helena (hand basket) did something.

Every time I do it I feel like I am going to giggle. What a goof. Sometimes I think that I am going to stop it and I do… briefly. I stop inserting hand basket but instead I insert the word bucket.

Helena (bucket) walked down the hall.

Helena (bucket) opened the door.

Yeah, I am a child. A goofy, lame, immature child.

These are my April hopefuls!

I started Yellowface last week but have not finished it. I like Kuang's writing style, and I can see why this book is hyped up.

I've finished the Caraval series and can not wait to dive into OUABH. Jacks is one of the characters that made the Caraval series more interesting, and I can't wait to read more about him.

I can not remember where I got the recommendation for Just Some Stupid Love Story. But after re-reading the summary, I can't wait to see what's in store for me.

If there was ever a toe-in-the-water to the Fear Street series, this is it. It’s also the only copy of a classic Fear Street in size, cover, and price at my local Books-A-Million and I can’t help but feel that’s because it doesn’t bring the scares (or, really, much of anything).

The story centers on a douche of a dude who is so self-centered and full of himself that he challenges himself to date twins within a specific time frame. They both fall in love with him and begin to play off each other while a third sister - an EVIL sister - is thrown into the mix.

The only thing I kept thinking throughout the whole book is that SURELY sisters would talk to each other more. I mean, I wasn’t particularly close to my brother when we were teenagers, but we knew who each other was dating.

It wasn’t a dumb book per se, but it wasn’t anything special.

💔 She’s his job. She’s also his weakness. 💔
Gabriel Marshall knew Sophie Clark was trouble the moment he laid eyes on her.
Now, he’s her bodyguard—whether he likes it or not.
But keeping her safe means fighting off more than just her enemies.
Because the most dangerous threat of all is falling for her.

☑️ Grumpy bodyguard
☑️ Forced proximity
☑️ Enemies closing in
☑️ Slow-burn tension
