Kira<p>I am reading this book for the book club. So far I made it through the first half. Barely. It's a self-help book in the form of a memoir, and it gives some decent advice. What I really really dislike is the familiarity. I don't like when the author claims to understand me, gives me permission(!) to do things, gives promises. Lady, you don't know me. You can't promise that if something worked for you it will work for me. That's arrogant.<br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/booklover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>booklover</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/bookreviews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookreviews</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/booktalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>booktalk</span></a></p>
