It’s hosted by The Caffeinated Book Reviewer, Readerbuzz, and Book Date. The Sunday Post #296 On The Blog Last Week On Tuesday, there was a book haul. On The Blog This Week On Tuesday, we talk about underhyped books that deserve more love. On Wednesday, I show you the great books coming out in March. In My Reading Life I did it! I finally finished As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann. It took me 3 weeks of solid slogging, but I did it. Was the book worth the effort? No, but when have I ever made good decisions? As Meat Loves Salt is adult historical fiction about an awful dude in 1600s England named Jacob. After raping his own wife and murdering a guy, Jacob joins the military and develops an obsession with a coworker called Ferris. They start a romantic relationship that doesn't go well because Jacob is a control freak with anger management problems. The beginning and end of the book are strong. I was hooked from page 1. Jacob is a train wreck of a human. I knew he was going to cause chaos and destruction, and I was interested to see how the drama would play out. The ending did not disappoint. Jacob's jealousy and desire for revenge destroys an entire community. If you love reading about irredeemably evil villains, then this novel is for you. The middle of the book is where I struggled. The pacing is so slow! I realize that being a soldier (and later a farmer) is tedious, but I wanted something to happen. I kept putting the book down and not picking it up for days because nothing was happening. The plot wasn't holding my attention. The relationship between Jacob and Ferris didn't fully hold my attention either because I didn't understand it. I don't know what Ferris sees in Jacob. Ferris isn't stupid. He often confronts Jacob about being an angry control freak who tries to separate Ferris from his friends. Why does Ferris bother with the relationship? It doesn't seem worth the stress. So . . . I struggled with this one. It's a long book that feels like a long book. After As Meat Loves Salt, I needed something short, so I picked up How To Order The Universe by María José Ferrada. This is a weird little story. It starts off cute and quirky and then becomes depressingly relatable. It's adult historical fiction about a child in 1970s Chile who drops out of school to travel the country with her hardware salesman father. The child's whole life is wrapped up in being a traveling saleswoman (saleschild?). She looks at the world through a lens of sales and hardware because that's all she knows. It's hard to explain, but it's fascinating to read. Then, things change. There's an incident that separates her from her father for years. When they're reunited, Chile is different, and traveling hardware salesmen aren't really a thing anymore. That's where the book becomes depressingly relatable. What happens when your life changes so drastically that you don't understand it anymore? What do you do when your plans for the future collapse? How do you re-order your universe? I don't think I "got" everything in this book because the writing style is disjointed, and I don't know anything about Chile in the 1970s, but it gave me a lot to think about. Right now, I'm reading The Bright Ages: A New History Of Medieval Europe by Matthew Gabriele and David Perry. So far, I've only read the first chapter, but it has my attention. It seems like the book will examine the "Bright" advancements that came out of the "Dark" Ages. In The Rest Of My Life Five things that made me happy last week: My dad randomly showed up with chocolate croissants. Mmm . . . chocolate. I went to a restaurant! I haven't been to one since the summer because it's too cold for outdoor dining. Then, I saw a restaurant that was big and mostly empty. I was able to eat good nachos with lots of social distance. Who watched The Woman In The House Across The Street From The Girl In The Window? (I hope I got all those words in the right order.) It's on Netflix. It's funny and has ridiculous plot twists. I loved it. So much blogging. I nearly have all of March's posts done. I have 0 ideas for April. Tell me what to blog about. We got lots of snow! I hope it makes up for no-snow December. We need snow because this place tends to start on fire every summer. There's a lot of dry grass.

ONE. MORE. TIME.
A 6 year old could never relate to Spongebob the way a college student does.
1. Krusty Tower (Menara Krusty) Ide Mr. Crabs untuk merenovasi Krusty Krab menjadi sebuah hotel karena dia pernah menginap di sebuah hotel dengan pelayanan yang sangat memuaskan, "Kami tidak meragukan tamu meskipun permintaannya aneh - aneh", namun tidak memiliki rasa burger yang enak tapi harganya mahal. Dengan Krusty Tower, Crab berpikir akan meraup keuntungan yang banyak karena pelayanan dengan motto yang sama dan Krabby Patty yang sangat lezat. Adegan yang lucu banget di episode ini yaitu ketika Squid harus melayani tamu yang datang, dan dia adalah Patrick! Patrick : "Aku mau pesan satu Krabby Patty.." Squidward : "Apa kau tidak lihat..? sekarang Krusty Krab sudah jadi hotel kalau pesan patty, harus pesan kamar dahulu.." (Squid dengan muka khasnya) Patrick : "Baiklah, satu kamar dan satu patty dengan keju ya!" Squidward : "Lihatlah, bahkan rumahmu tidak lebih dari 100 yard dari sini!!!" Patrick : terkadang aku bosan tinggal dirumahku.Oh ya, tolong bawakan koperku.. Squidward : "Bagaimana kau sudah membawa barang, sedangkan kau baru tahu ini hotel?" Patrick : "OOO, Ini hotel?" (dengan muka datar) Squidward : "Baiklah, sekarang kau tulis namamu disini" (Memberikan Patrick buku formulir tamu) Patrick : "AAAAAA! Ada ujianya? aku belum belajar!!!" Squidward : "Kau hanya perlu menuliskan namamu!!" Patrick : "Baik, kau tak keberatan?" (Patrick sok berpikir keras dan gelagatnya seperti murid yang engga mau dicontekin sama temen sebangkunya). "SELESAI!!!!", kata Patrick. Dan lihat apa yang digambar olehnya, LOL! Belom lagi ketika adegan Squid memutuskan berhenti menjadi pegawai Krusty Tower dan beralih menjadi tamu hotelm dengan meminta Spongebob memasak Krabby Patty isi kuku kaki dan bulu hidung, karena kesal dengan Mr. Crab, Squid memintanya untuk memakan Patty itu. LOL! Dan diakhiri dengan robohnya Krusty Tower karena ulah Patrick yang bodoh, melakukan loncat indah ke kolam renang yang disiapkan di kamar Squid. 2. Patrick's Secret Box (Kotak Rahasia Patrick) Ternyata, isi kotak rahasia Patrick adalah foto Spongebob menncium Garry di Pesta Natal. Di dalam episode aslinya, Patrick hanya mengucapkan isi dari kotak rahasianya adalah foto memalukan Spongebob di pesta Natal. LOL! 3. Spongebob's Wig Pagi hari, Spongebob yang baru keluar dari rumah nanasnya, tiba - tiba menemukan wig dengan bentuk yang aneh, kemanapun ia pergi, ia sangat membanggakan wig tersebut. Walaupun orang - orang disekitarnya menertawainya karena wig itu terkesan norak, Spongebob tidak mempedulikannya. Namun karena dilarang oleh Mr. Crabs untuk menggunakan wig tersebut ketika bekerja, Spongebob rela membuang wig tersebut. Sampai akhirnya, wig tersebut kembali kepada pemiliknya, seorang personel band. Band tersebut terkenal dengan wig yang pernah dipopulerkan oleh Spongebob di Bikini Bottom, sampai - sampai semua masyarakat Bikini Bottom mengikuti trend tersebut, dan Spongebob merasa terkhianati oleh perlakuan masyarakat. Patrick yang tidak terlihat menggunakan wig, membuat spongebobo berpikir tidak ikut - ikut dengan trend, tapi ternyata Patrick menggunakan wig tersebut di ketiaknya, LOL. Dengan efek bau busuk berwarna hijau, Patrick rela meminjamkan wig dari ketiaknya ke kepala Spongebob. LOL! 4. Garry, Siput Gila! Squidward yang tidak ingin diganggu oleh siput dan si pemilik siput, yang tidak lain adalah Garry dan Spongebob, memutuskan untuk memagar rumahnya dengan kayu yang besar dan runcing. Namun ternyata Garry tetap saja memasuki area rumah Squidward. Garry yang tiba - tiba menjadi liar, menggigit dan memberontak, seperti anjing gila, digosipi oleh Patrick, bahwa itu penyakit siput gila. Siapa saja yang terkena gigitannya akan tertular virus siput gila, seperti zombie. HAHAHA, dasar Patrick :))) Akhirnya datang juga seorang dokter ahli siput, dan memecahkan apa yang menyebabkan Garry menjadi liar seperti itu, dan penyebabnya adalah kayu yang dijadikan pagar oleh Squidward. Impossible is nothing in cartoon! Kayu sebesar itu bisa masuk ke badan Garry yang kecil, LOL!
