Alice Isn't Dead

bbyoozi commented on beezus's review of Alice Isn't Dead
📍 Goodreads review from October 13, 2023
Such a different story from the podcast, but also different in this fleshed out way, if awkwardly so at times. Keisha and Alice remind me that this life is worth fighting to change, despite the fear. Our battles will always be monumentally different, but I come out the other side of this story feeling a sense of trust in myself and my community. I love you Joseph Fink in the way that anxiety bros always will love each other.

Villain Hitting for Vicious Little Nobodies

bbyoozi commented on nonhoration's review of Villain Hitting for Vicious Little Nobodies
This book felt so raw in the best ways. A woman, her grandmother, and her (sort of) sister, trying to survive the world and each other against poverty, intergenerational trauma, and their own sharp edges. The characters are hard and cruel and make horrible decisions, and despite all of that and their own intentions they love each other.
I found it dragged a bit in the middle but the ending was phenomenal. I loved the footnotes, and what they wound up representing.

bbyoozi commented on karigan's review of Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs
A book in which a comedian forces bad humor on you, while complaining about the lack of enthusiasm service workers have during a pandemic.
Loftus almost definitely went on her hot dog tour and wrote this book as a joke and it shows.

Finally some good fucking worldbuilding
SFF with worldbuilding that informs the plot, prose, characters, and underlying narrative in deeply meaningful, intentional, and complex ways, so much so that changing the world means changing the shape of the story itself. Or: worldbuilding that goes beyond simple set dressing and becomes a vehicle for the story and narrative. Always open to recs and suggestions! ❤️

Hi folks, I'm a bit confused about page counts and hope you can advise. When I change a book status to reading, pb asks me for the page count - is there a way I can get it to use the default count? Unless I am reading the print copy and have it right in front of me at that exact moment, I don't know the page count so I just look up the default. Or, usually I am lazy and I just leave it blank. Secondly, is there a way I can update the page count once I've started reading? It seems that if I don't enter a specific page count, it doesn't count my pages read in my stats.
