Not as good as Book 1 bit better than Book 2. This book cleared up many questions, although I still have some questions about The Shrimps mother. I really enjoyed reading this and couldn't wait to find out how the couple out an end to the cycle.

Such an imaginative anime. Two little guys are dealing with the grief and confusion of their mother being in hospital while their imaginations are filled with the spirits of the forest in and around their home. Beautiful and tranquil scenes with wonderful creatures and adorable characters.

Book Favorite

"This book is so raw and true to the feelings of abandonment when a mate ups and leaves that it is a bit scary. I especially appreciate Ferrante’s clear-eyed depiction of the abandoned mother with the snarly children who don’t understand and don’t care either."

"I’m also showing off that I’ve actually gotten through Swann’s Way, the first volume in Proust’s monumental work In Search of Lost Time. Just getting through those first 100 pages, where he could not fall asleep until his mother kissed him good night, was an achievement alone."

Movie Favorite

"One of the most intimate films I have ever seen. With nothing more than recited letters from Akerman’s mother and largely static shots of streets and subways, the film is an impossibly personal portrait of New York, young adulthood, parents, and the inexorable passage of time."

Gilmore Girls - Season 1
2000 | Comedy, Drama

"My first time watching the series, though I remember my elder sister being obsessed with it. Honestly, it feels very calming and self-loving to listen to a mother and daughter duo discuss coffee and the intricacies of Billy Idol’s pout on his album cover. Simpler times."
