My brain is tired and I am in need of book recommendations. I'm looking for a book published between 1800 and 1849 that is written by a woman (trying to kill 2 challenge prompts with 1 book). I'm trying to stay away from Austen-not because I don't love her books, but because I've already read a lot by her.

TheKidUpstairs Frankenstein, Jane Eyre 2mo

SpellboundReader Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell, published during 1848. 2mo

lil1inblue @TheKidUpstairs I've read both already 😅but Jane Eyre might be due for a re-read. Thanks! 🙂 2mo

I need help!!

In general my life doesn‘t work smoothly without an audiobook option at all times, but I must have tried almost a dozen different audiobooks over the last few months and switched over to print versions of all of them because I couldn‘t concentrate on the audio for some reason…

Above are some of my favorite audiobooks from the past 5 odd years (my taste is somewhat eclectic). I‘d love recommendations of anything you loved on audio!!

BekaReid The Electricity of Every Living Thing by Katherine May (narrated by author) 2mo

maich I love Educated🥰 2mo

maich Have you listened this one? Is my fave audiobook. A fiction novel about Gable and Young affair.

All the Stars in the Heavens

lil1inblue When I'm in an audiobook slump, I turn to memoirs or YA. I don't know why. I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jeanette McCurdy got me out of a slump last year. 2mo

Bookwormjillk When I can‘t focus on anything I try travel memoirs like

The Puma Years: A Memoir of Love and Transformation in the Bolivian Jungle

2mo

Aimeesue This was great. Much swashbuckling!

The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi

2mo

IndoorDame @Aimeesue @Bookwormjillk @lil1inblue @maich @BekaReid Thank you for these titles!!!!! 2mo

Caryl Have you seen The Good Place? If you liked that show, you‘d probably enjoy How To Be Perfect, and it‘s fantastic on audio— includes the cast from the show! A friend recently recommended Viola Davis‘s Finding Me on audio, I haven‘t gotten to that one yet. If you like middle grade, the audio version of the graphic novel Mexikid is amazing. 2mo

IndoorDame @Caryl thanks for these titles! And I loved The Good Place! 2mo

Help Litsy friends! I got a new (android) phone and Litsy is not even showing up in the Google Play Store. It's one of my favourite apps! Has anyone else encountered this? Any words of wisdom? Workarounds? I would be so bummed if I couldn't post on Litsy anymore. #Litsy #ListyHelp

TheBookHippie I thought @TheAromaofBooks figured this out but not sure 😵‍💫 I know it‘s a problem 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 5mo

batsy @Ruthiella 😂 you sent out the alert and that is key 🦺 5mo

julesG Hope it's helped you. It's the current work-around. 5mo

TheAromaofBooks @TheBookHippie - I had NOT found a solution, only complaints, so I am very glad you tagged me because @julesG is here with the winning solution!!! My phone got drowned back in June and I haven't had the app since then - I've checked periodically for it. Thank you so much for this workaround, Julia!!! 5mo

julesG @TheAromaofBooks You're welcome. Glad I could help. 5mo
