    I’m trying to get through the second half of Jojo Moyes’ “Me Before You” and, god damn, I’m finding it offensively bad so far. Like if the author of “50 Shades of Grey” picked up a dictionary and tried to throw in a few ten dollar words. Not only is the writing and dialogue predictable, I think the unsubtle approach

    Ooh, that's a great story, too! I just got a little thrill imagining how exciting that must have been.

    I have this movie to thank for one of the most magical moments of my childhood. My mom flat out refused to take me and my sister to see it because she didn’t want to sit through something so stupid (fair enough...) We begged and begged, to no avail. Then one day our super cool aunts took us in the car, refused to tell

    Oh, geez. This dad. Could he not wait until the kid leaves the room to voice all of his stupid concerns? Of course the kid’s upset, dad is giving a running commentary of how all her toys are going to get destroyed.

    If I hear one more person say, “That’s why you never hire a hot nanny!” my brain is going to explode.

    Everything you just said is frustrating and so wrong. It’s hard to even know where to start, but honestly it’s so blatantly offensive I won’t even bother. So I’ll just leave it at, “Shame on you.”

    Kind of disappointed by all the people on here trying to justify these animals being in captivity. Documentaries, PETA, or not, it’s completely illogical that this would be preferable to life in the wild.

    Well, shit.

    I agree with you 99.9% with the exception that she may very well have not had a choice in marrying him. If her family is anything like the Duggars, daddy arranges everything and you have to sit there. Having said that, Im sure her definition of protecting her kids differs greatly than those of us who don’t beat kids

    Awesome! Book club suggestions are always solid. I am in one and I've read the next few in line already!

    LOVED that book. Read it awhile ago but may need to revisit it now that you mention it....

    Oh! I thought I had read all of his except the new one he just released but I didn't know about that one- now it feels like Christmas!

    Ooh, they sound great! I love short story collections (Chimananda Ngozie Adichie’s are fantastic for any occasion.)

    Favorite vacation reads?! Leaving on a month long trip and need suggestions! So far I have downloaded the new Judy Blume and Nick Hornby books. Books previously devoured on trips: Gone Girl, World War Z, The Other Typist, Devil in the White City, Oryx and Crake. (No theme- just a compelling story, maybe a few plot

    Several people have said they want to see Josh’s kids removed from his care. I can’t say I disagree- I’d love to see his smug ass get kicked to all the curbs for this. And I hope his children (and wife, as much as I detest her) get far, far away from him. But does anyone know what the legal precedent for the kids

    I call bullshit. It absolutely was your intention or you wouldn't have said anything to begin with.

    Good god. How does a person get that way? It’s so deeply disturbing and disheartening that it isn’t just a couple of people here and there, either, but enough that you see it right away.

    I just went to check out her Instagram and all the good vibes from her badass attitude and stunning pictures were immediately ruined by the utterly horrifying comments people left. I cannot imagine what possesses someone to say such hateful things to a HUMAN BEING. Like, I wouldn’t say some of this shit to my worst

    I love all the fake concern that inevitably accompanies these stories, on here and every other forum that posts them. “Good for her, but she doesn’t look healthy” blah, blah, blah. Aside from the fact that her health is her choice, her business, and is probably just fine, it has nothing to do with her job as a model.
