My library just informed me that the audio is now available for me to check out!! Squee! A read + listen combo is my favorite way to enjoy #NonFicNov

Let‘s try this again…I started this one in May and had to put it down. With end of school and graduation for my oldest, I didn‘t have the headspace for it. But, I love this author, so here we go again! It‘s my May #doublespin pick.

It‘s also on my #10beforetheend list.

ChaoticMissAdventures He seems to be a favorite author! You got this!! 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Enjoy!! 4w
GinaKButler @ChaoticMissAdventures …sooooo what happens for #10beforetheend if I DNF this (again)? I‘m 215 pages in and I‘m SO bored! At this point, I feel like I‘ve given it a valiant effort! (edited) 3w
ChaoticMissAdventures @GinaKButler that's fine!! The point is to get things off the TBR so donate it, sell it, toss it!! I am a huge advocate for DNFs. #10beforetheend is all about getting to 10 books, you don't have to finished anything. 3w
GinaKButler DNF on page 217. (edited) 3w

Suddenly she was seized with the cold realization that she would be asked to sew many black dresses in the months ahead as her patrons…donned the somber colors of mourning custom demanded. #seamstress #CharacterCharm

My goodness this was such a unique, strange, and fantastic book. It takes place just as the Civil War is starting and follows President Lincoln mourning the death of his young son. With pieces of history )and ghosts!) floating through the novel, this made me smile, cry, and wonder at the power of the written word. Brilliant on #audio with more than 150 narrators, led by David Sedaris and Nick Offerman. So good!

Scochrane26 I read the physical book but have heard the audio is the best way to read it. It was a weird book for me at first, but once I got used to the format, I loved it. Still think about Lincoln‘s grief when this book is mentioned. 4mo
Tamra It‘s my absolute favorite audio experience ever. 💕💕 4mo
DrSabrinaMoldenReads Hmmm..I might try this on audio. I have not been able to get into them 4mo
mandarchy I did not know about the audio book! 3mo

We do not care that when we complain about having our period for 19 days straight, you consider that too much information. If we have to live with it, you have to hear about it. 🩸

We're in #perimenopause , and we have no filters anymore. 🤣

TheBookHippie Oh I am sorry 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 so annoying.. 4mo
Karisa 19 days?! 😱 Peri sometimes feels like a continual line up of new betrayals of the body. Going to be so glad when the period part is done! 4mo
Prairiegirl_reading I thought once every two weeks was bad!! Peri is an asshole. I‘m sorry!!! 4mo

Eggbeater @CatLass007 But of course, my dear. If you have to live with it, the least I can do is listen. Doesn't bother me. 💩 4mo
Deblovestoread Ooof, I‘m sorry! When my periods changed from bad to worse I had an endometrial abalation which solved my problem. Not sure if it‘s a thing anymore but ask your doc. 4mo
AnnCrystal That's terrible 👸😶‍🌫️😵‍💫👌🏼💝. 4mo
Amiable I ended up having to have a surgical ablation to finally stop the persistent heavy bleeding when I was going through perimenopause — I feel your pain! 4mo
CatLass007 So sorry about your perimenopause p pain and troubles. Peri was a bear to endure but the relief of never having another period is priceless. You will get there. 4mo
CBee Dropping in to say that I can relate 💯 except, I also had an ablation and while it‘s tricky to figure out when my cycles will stop and I fully enter meno, not having periods has been bliss. Peri IS an asshole indeed @Prairiegirl_reading 4mo

Happy Presidents‘ Day* to those who celebrate.

Some good ones who must be looking on in horror at what we‘ve become, and some bad ones who must be patting themselves on the back for their part in getting us here.

IMHO part of the job of President is respecting the people who work for you. ALL of them. In this time of “narratives over facts,” starting tomorrow I‘ll share a few narratives about my experience as a #longtimefed employee.

Susanita * The holiday is officially Washington‘s Birthday on the federal level. It‘s a little awkward, however, to wish someone a happy…someone else‘s birthday. By the way, we do NOT need an additional holiday for a certain someone‘s birthday. What is wrong with these people? 9mo

One of my favorites by Erik Larson. As always well-researched and well-written and Will Patton‘s narration evokes a mental movie-reel. Crazy historical parallels and ahhhh Easter Egg references.

What a delightful, weird end to my 2024 reading adventures. Absolutely a fever dream, and not something I would‘ve picked if my partner hadn‘t told me to read it, but great nonetheless. P.S. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
