Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time

The Title is (kind of) a Lie

The F*ck It Diet: Eating Should be Easy by Caroline Dooner

by 3 Comments

  Two notes: First, I’m not interested in having the “fat = unhealthy” argument in the comments. BTDT. If you’re the type of person “worried” about fat people’s health, I know. Keep it to yourself, kthx. Second, this is apparently the year of reading books that heavily feature “the F-word” and I swear there was a book out there somewhere about that word in particular that I should probably find, buy, and close the year out by reviewing.   (And now, some filler to keep […]

And what happens to the dead? Most folk assume they find their own way, I would guess.

I’ve finally made my way to reviewing our #CannonBookClub selection, Kindred. Did I ever tell you all how happy I was that this was the one we chose? Not that I wouldn’t have happily read any of our options, but Kindred has been lurking on my to read list a long time and it fulfills two of this year’s Read Harder Challenge tasks (read a genre fiction classic, read a sci-fi novel with a female protagonist by a female author). My review is probably going […]
