This short just whets my appetite to learn more about the life and work of Marie Curie.

A Mind of Her Own is a nice short story about legendary scientist, Marie Curie. My knowledge of Ms. Curie is quite limited, so I enjoyed learning more about her. This short story has a bit of everything; history, feminism, education, and romance. #MountTBR

⭐️⭐️/5
I like to use audible originals as little palette cleansers after a heavy book. This one was disappointing. I thought it would be more about Marie and her work, it was more of a love story, and not a great one.
30/36

Book 6 of @deweysreadathon done. This is my first underwhelming book of the #readathon. Well narrated #audiobook and the subject (Marie Curie) peaked my interest but I got bored on my #audiowalk. 2 🌟.

Crazeedi That's too bad, I've read a book by this author and thought she did a good job. A book about marie curie should be interesting 4y
bookandcat @Crazeedi I usually love this author's books. This one was just...meh. 4y

I liked this little original. It was a tiny teaser to dig deeper into Marie Curie elsewhere.
It skims her life quickly with simple enjoyable dialogue.

So I threw on a pair of headphones and this one hour audible freebie from a few months back and succeed in doing the dishes that have been piling up all week! That alone makes this a win for me! That said, I really wanted this to be WAY MORE about her relationship with science and WAY LESS about her relationship with her husband (to be).

I liked this but I'd have liked it a lot more if it were longer and had more scope. The description was clear that this was very short and focused on Marie Curie meeting her husband so I can't complain that I expected anything more but I WANTED more. I enjoyed this but it left me wanting. I'll be looking for a good biography about her.

I don‘t know what I was expecting. I‘m Not passionate or remotely interesting in science or people in science. I was hoping for more depth. It was horrible but it wasn‘t long enough for commitment.

This is a super short listen about a tiny piece of Marie Curie‘s life. It was interesting, there‘s romance. Definitely made me want to learn more. #readwomen
