Awww I'm sorry to hear you didn't like Penance! I really liked it - yeah there were some less interesting bits, but I overall found it to be a page turner and really interesting! Different strokes for different folks I guess :) I read The Rules of Attraction AGES ago, maybe I should revisit it! My favourite book from August was either Grown Ups by Marian Keyes (very different pick for me but just what I needed I guess), OR Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma by Claire Dederer which was a good thinky one!
I’m glad you liked it! Like I said so many of my friends liked it and then a few of us were like 🤬 hahah but if we all liked the same things the world would be boring. Re-reading Bret is always a great idea though!
My favorite book in August was I who have never known men (as you might have picked up in the liveshow)! But I also really enjoyed Chelsea Devantez's memoir titled I shouldn't be telling you this (but I'm going to anyway)
I must read The Night Guest. Like you, I do too suffer from Chronic Pain/Illnesses and I am misunderstood/dismissed by, non just people, but also the medical industry constantly. I am almost done with Acts of Desperation because of your recommendation and wow. I am really enjoying it.
I've read a scifi novel.... from time to time the author asked his friends and acquaintances about how the story should go.... and then he wrote the exact opposite of what people expected
enjoyed white even if Bret is a little delusional because he's kind of in his own sphere. (rich enough to not deal with normal problems) his podcast is worth a listen even if its behind paywall... him basically calling kanye genius and then outside of the book saying the left was more violent than the right is one of the funniest parts of his personality (this was before Jan 6.) He is right about America's censorship and knee jerk reactions to placate a lot of liberal feelings, but he's full of sh!t to not note the right is as rotten as the left is because he conveniently looks the other way on their flaws, but then again that's my sh!t opinion
I have some hot takes that I don’t expose much online but to summarize them- I hate everyone equally 😂 I agree with a majority of what he says but then sometimes I’m like ???? Huh ????

I’m SO GLAD you loved it ☺️ and I have that audiobook I keep forgetting I have it lol
Absolutely chilling how The Stepford Wives still hits hard today.
Scary!!
I’m readin a lot of Taylor Adams Ik he isn’t everyone’s favorite but hairpin bridge and the last word is so good!
I’m glad you like him! I typically don’t enjoy his books but if we all liked the same things life would be boring lol

You will definitely feel seen! I’m glad you’re liking Acts of Desperation. I want to re-read it lol I’m in a re-read mood lately

I want to read the night guest so badly. It sounds right up my alley
It’s so good! I hope you like it!
Hey Meg,
If a book is really bad, do you know what you can do?
Add some cornstarch to thicken the plot!!!

Meg doesnt say "Hey guys welcome back to my channel" before the thunder and its devastating. Anyways great wrap up.
Hahaha I have been trying to ✨mix it up✨
I loved the ending of The Night Guest 🤣🫣
I’m glad you liked it! It felt a little rushed and “wtf” for me 😂
@@ReadingWithMeg i can 💯 see why 🤣 I feel like I’m the only one who liked it
where would you recommend I start with Mique's books? 😊
Probably with Them since that was his debut. Just depends what you’re looking for from there!
ja i would love to but im too shy and ugly...
"because tbh i was about to f***ing kill myself" needs to be a gif 😂
Hahaha please make it 😂
