| I have heard from other influencers who’ve had kids that the advice that comes from being online is ridiculous and a lot to handle. So they will say no advice needed on a post. Or say they’re going silent for a time and they’ll post an update later. Basically just be up front and confident in their messaging. Things that Flaken can’t do — either because of her Flaken-ness or because she has a thin skin. Being a parent is tough and she doesn’t do tough
PS this is coming from a childless by choice person

| QUOTE (Chalky @ 28/4/2024, 21:05) Finished "Malibu Rising" by Taylor Jenkins Reid - easy fluffy read.
Just started "The Family Upstairs" by Lisa Jewell - a thriller.
After that my next book is "The Lincoln Highway" by Amor Towles - historical fiction and 576 pages - figured I'd pad my reading with fluff and thrills prior to digging into this one.
I loved the Lincoln Highway!!!!! It’s thick but the story is so so good. I’m about to finish The Paris Agent…it’s ok. I listened to Everyone Here is Lying. That one is sooooo good! |

How can she actually write that out and not realize that’s not the right phrasing!!?!? |

| | I finished listening to The Mystery Guest (the follow up to The Maid) and it was sooooo good! I'm reading On Writing which is Stephan King's memoir specifically about writing. I'm a high school English teacher and I have tons of passages that I want to share with students about his journey as a writer. I'm about 1/3 done and I would recommend for sure |

| | I know it doesn’t have concierge in the title but this one is the best! Concierge reminds me of an episode of The Office. Michael thinks Concierge Marie at their Canadian hotel is the height of class when he’s on a business trip |

| | I volunteer at a thrift store and I'm constantly moving adult fiction out of the YA section. Just because there's a cartoon on the cover doesn't mean it's a YA book! |

I feel like it's a thing she's doing to seem #relatable. I share my scores with a group chat among my friends. Not a my "business" Instagram account... |

| QUOTE (C3P0 @ 3/11/2024, 12:55 PM) Thanks for the tips!
Which Agatha Christie books would you recommend? I've only read a couple, and seen some of the movies based on the books, and I also played one of the video games (the abc murders). I really need to check out more of her work because she's so influential! I'm trying to remember what the books I actually read where. I know it was Murder on the Orient Express which was very clever. I think the other one was some sort of collection about Poirot's cases. So I am pretty much open to any recommendations since I am such a novice when it comes to her.
I"ve read a lot of the holiday/Christmas stories and they're awesome! |

| Libro.Fm is another good audiobook app. You do have to pay for the books but you can designate an independent bookstore to get a cut of the profits. You can do a membership and they have good sales.
I just finished Moonflower Murders. If you like Agatha Christie, you’ll like this one. It’s long but there’s a book within the book. Very creative |
