"I was hoping to find a home where everything's how it's supposed to be. But I realize now, that just isn't possible. Because a home where everything's how it's supposed to be is a home with you still in it. ... But through it all, I don't have to keep hoping for what's 'supposed to be' because you've been with me all along."

I love Avatar more than most anything else.

Surpsingly gayer and full of far more lizard people than I expected... A fun and wild ride! Korra is still Korra, but I think she's finally calming down some? (Being around a calm person is helping her, for sure.) I feel like the writers pushed a little far back into the original Avatar: TLA narrative to stretch their current plot, but it's kind of working? I have no reason to believe their facts are wrong, I just had never considered the possibilities they presented, and it threw me off a bit. But, in the end, I LOVE AVATAR!

I don't agree with everything she suggests, but probably because we're both bawses in our own ways! Very practical advice on how to be a better person.

It's been a while since I've found a book that I didn't have to force myself into finishing, but every now and then we find one! It's definitely not high literature, but still entertaining. "Convenient" is how I'd describe the downsides of the book; the relationships, the odd distribution if alcohol, and even the deaths all seem too convenient... Still, a fun time! Also, surprisingly British (that part really caught me off guard).

(I feel like I'm writing in a pretentious voice... Sorry about that....)

I don't think I like autobiographies all that much, but it was funny!

I just.... didn't like the voice of it all... The author continuously sounded like a know-it-all who we should all commemorate for being such a good and clever boy. Eh.

The content was not what I expected, but it was interesting. Basically what I learned is that there are bad people in the world, and there's a checklist to see which of these bad people are really bad. Eh.
