I would like to congratulate everyone posting on their wonderful experiences!
This last week, I had been feeling a little down about myself, but an absolute stranger stopped me to tell me I was beautiful. An old friend of mine is going to come stay with me to start a new life and I could not be more excited and honored to be a part of it. I was worried that my mother might have been unwell, but she received a clean bill of health. Also, I ordered and received an awesome t shirt for The Shining.
Pearl by Josh Malerman (Bird Box).
It’s about a pig on a small farm that can seep into your mind and make you do and see terrible things. I picked it up after reading Bird Box and a few other books of his, which I enjoyed. I expected to give up on it based on the silly 80s horror movie premise, but the book is truly demented and creepy and I felt existentially weird after reading it
