What an utterly weird book. He was obsessed with talking about where his dog pooped. Probably the worst book I’ve read on Mustich’s list. What classic was left off for this?

Lived up to the hype! Read this in two sittings. Great if you like page turners or Southern mysteries.

It is a crime that this book is (now) so dated and absolutely nothing has changed.

Back to destroy my heart once more. Read in single issues.

Did not really grab me in an entire week of reading. Need to revisit at some point

What a great book. Society is really the pits.

Rating an autobiography is hard because it can feel like you are essentially rating someone's life. What I can say about this is it is readily apparent Jeannette wrote this herself (I would presume not the norm for celebrity autobiographies) and it is very well written.

She had a horrible childhood and I had absolutely no idea. I grew up watching Nickelodeon and still watched some of the shows even when I'd "aged out" of them, and iCarly was definitely my favorite from that period of time. Sam was the best part of iCarly. She was just hilarious.

She was living a horrible lie, supporting her family, her mom was actively putting her in mental and physical danger. In many ways, this is such an upsetting read.

I am so glad that she is making choices for herself. She deserves that and she put in so much work to get there. And somewhat selfishly as a viewer of the show, I'm glad Miranda was such a supportive friend. I was bracing myself for something very sad there, and it sounds like their relationship is built on real honesty and friendship.

A thousand trigger warnings in this book for just about every unsettling thing you can think of.

The artwork in this is fantastic! It's equal parts beautiful and goofy. The character/creature design is terrific. The story is great too. I pre-read this for my son to read because I thought the length of the book was a little off-putting for a young reader, but the story is so well done I know he will be through it quickly.

Can't wait to read the next volume!

This was a fascinating look at the end of the Raj and one disillusioned Punjabi man’s quest to assassinate the British leader of Punjab, Michael O’Dwyer. O’Dwyer presided over a massacre I’d never heard of, the Jallianwala Bagh. This reads like a thriller, it’s very well paced. It has a very pro India bent, so due to the topic will find yourself sympathizing with the machinations of an assassin. However, O’Dwyer was presiding over a hate crime with absolutely zero shred of remorse, so pick your more palatable atrocity?

I wanted to learn more about every aspect of of this book.

This is an interesting look at 10 (I think it was 10) landmark psychological studies. Some of them are well known: the birth of the lobotomy, some of them were wholly unknown to me: the Harlow monkey experiment, the Lost in the Mall experiment. From a purely informative standpoint, I liked the book okay. The author definitely had a narrative bias, one she didn't shy away from. I felt this the most in the chapter about opioid use, which felt extremely dated (pub date 2005). I struggle to imagine a book being written today being so shockingly cavalier about the recreational use of opioids.

If you're interested in psychology and want short chapter discussions on some well known psychological experiments, maybe give it a look see.
