But I freakin' LOVED Fangirl and Attachments is great too, so I'd definitely say give her another try. Also, just realised I forgot to link to your blog when I mentioned it - now fixed!jbistheinitialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868282285690501258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931597080577373530.post-17918215960208586092014-04-01T17:30:10.588+01:002014-04-01T17:30:10.588+01:00I am so glad you enjoyed Hyperbole and a Half!

I am now intrigued by Attachments as I found parts of Eleanor and Park annoying so wrote of Rainbow Rowell completely which I know may have been hasty. I'll check it out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00414010663277948166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931597080577373530.post-31295060953478662502014-03-31T12:32:04.440+01:002014-03-31T12:32:04.440+01:00It's really interesting to hear your perspecti...It's really interesting to hear your perspective on Sisterland - I guess if I had children, and especially if I was a SAHM, I might view Kate differently. And I would really recommend the Allie Brosh book, it's so so funny.jbistheinitialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868282285690501258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931597080577373530.post-59779619406157736152014-03-30T17:23:16.118+01:002014-03-30T17:23:16.118+01:00I always love these book posts of yours even thoug...I always love these book posts of yours even though this time we have very different opinions on two books! I loved Sisterland, I think maybe because as a SAHM I could relate to a lot of Kate's day to day life, and the relationship between the two sisters reminded me a lot of the relationship I have with my longest-best-friend who I've grown up with like a sister. The Snow Child ... I seem to be the only person (besides one friend of mine) who didn't love it - I couldn't relate to the characters at all & didn't like the constant killing of animals, though I know that's just part of the lifestyle.

But the ones about her as a child were really my favourites, I had to stop reading at one point because I was weeping mascara down my face and I had to teach 10 minutes later. jbistheinitialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868282285690501258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931597080577373530.post-39730092721559453062014-03-28T09:22:09.948+00:002014-03-28T09:22:09.948+00:00Allie Brosh is brilliant isn't she?

The comics about her mad dogs particularly crack me up....At the same time, her 'serious' comics are so well done as well - the one where she describes her depression really made me 'get it', if you know what I mean.
