A Lifetime of Secrets | Frank Warren

As usual, another great collection of postcards with secrets. A few emails but mostly postcards. Just very emotional to read them.

Some really fascinating dresses in here! My favourite was this Dior dress though.

Clare-Dragonfly Gorgeous! 2w

Made my #BookSpinBingo list this past week while packing. Had to make sure I'd packed all my ebooks and audiobooks accordingly! 😁

This was the sign I marched with on Saturday (picture taken before I attached two sticks for handles). There are SO MANY issues, but this was the best sign idea I had. Possibly because some of my favorite memories are from Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Acadia. 💚

Whoa 😳. I need some help!
In burning down other “piles” of audiobooks, I‘ve racked up 19 credits (😯) on Libro.fm.

I need recs, please 🙂
I know these credits don‘t expire. But I want to reduce this number by at least half.

So hit me - what do I need to listen to rather than read? I‘m open to all genres, and audiobooks account for close to half my reading.

Please and thank you 🙏🏻😊♥️

AlaMich If you like a bit of urban fantasy, The Stranger Times series has an amazing narrator. 6mo
AlaMich Or the Rivers of London series. Another great narrator. 6mo
Sweettartlaura @AlaMich thanks! Not familiar with either - I‘ll check them both out! 6mo

TheKidUpstairs If you're interested in music memoirs, I really enjoyed listening to Neneh Cherry's A Thousand Threads, and Kathleen Hanna's Rebel Girl.

Fiction that worked really well for me on audio (and I usually don't love listening to fiction): Megan Nolan's Ordinary Human Failings, and Claire Kilroy's Soldier Sailor
(edited) 6mo
TheKidUpstairs Other Non-Fiction and Memoirs that I loved on audio: Judi Dench's Shakespeare: the Man Who Pays the Rent (it is not Judi who narrates, but it is beautifully done), Fern Brady's Strong Female Characters, John Vaillant's Fire Season, Minnie Driver's Managing Expectations, and either of the books by Amber Ruffin and Lacey Lamar 6mo
Sweettartlaura @TheKidUpstairs I listened to Kathleen Hanna‘s memoir - I liked it! Not sure i‘m connected Neneh Cherry enough to connect to her the same way, but I‘ll look into it - thanks! And I‘ll check out the rest, too - I‘ve been meaning to get to Amber Ruffin‘s stuff for a while - this might be my prompt to put that up top of the list 👍🏻 6mo
monalyisha I‘ll tag a bunch of audiobooks I‘ve enjoyed recently! 6mo
monalyisha One more (and you can watch the show after)! 6mo
Sweettartlaura @monalyisha read Margo - loved it ✔️ Read HMRC - but maybe I will listen to #2 in the series 🤔 All the rest are new to me - thank you so much for all the recs!!!♥️ 6mo
Sweettartlaura @monalyisha wait - I read The Deep too ✔️ 6mo
monalyisha @Sweettartlaura Nice! I‘m listening to the first HMRC right now. Loving it. When you read The Deep, did you also find the song by clipping.? I loved the multimedia, collaborative storytelling aspect! 6mo
Chrissyreadit I discovered full cast narrations and graphic audiobooks- libro has a playlist page that I was excited to discover and includes both of these as playlists. 6mo
Chrissyreadit also @monalyisha adding to my tbr now…. thank you! 6mo
monalyisha @Chrissyreadit Of course! The pleasure of listening to audiobooks is the one benefit of my long commute. 6mo
SaraBeagle Best audiobook I listened to last year! 6mo

Here‘s my #top24of24! I read some great books this year, including some new releases, classics I‘d had on my TBR for a long time, and a few that had been sitting on my shelf. Overall a good reading year. 📚

Megabooks The Safekeep was so good! Nice list!! 8mo
squirrelbrain We have quite a few the same - and I had Bird Hearts and Flamingo on previous years‘ lists! 8mo
TrishB Great list 👍🏻 8mo

Tamra We have 3 in common. 😁 Clear, History of Sound, and North Woods. 8mo
BarbaraBB It‘s almost scary, I agree on so many… I have All Fours, The Safekeep and History of Sound on this year‘s list too. Remains, Garden of Evening Mist, Fingersmith, Little Friend, Burgess Boys, Moon Tiger and Little Birds are all time favorites of mine. ⬇️ 8mo
BarbaraBB Also, I loved Flamingo, The Wall, Clear, What I‘d rather not Think About, Kids run the Show, Ordinary Failings, Margo and North Woods!! So I need to read the ones I haven‘t yet: Noopiming, Days Work, Get in Trouble, Brief Lives and of course Intermezzo 👯🤍 (edited) 8mo
sarahbarnes @BarbaraBB so crazy how similar our reading has been! I will say your list has inspired me to read more crime noir this year - I‘m interested in the ones you listed! 📚 8mo
sarahbarnes @Tamra I just saw your list! So fun to see all the similarities! 😊 8mo
sarahbarnes @squirrelbrain ah I just saw you posted your list! 8mo
sarahbarnes @Megabooks so good!! Thank you! 8mo
sarahbarnes @TrishB ♥️♥️ 8mo
youneverarrived So many great books here 🤍 I love Sarah Waters! I bought the Safekeep the other day so I think that will be one of my first reads of the new year. 8mo
sarahbarnes @youneverarrived that sounds like a great plan. You‘re in for a wonderful read. 🩵 8mo
kspenmoll Some of these books are up for me this 2025- I get the best book ideas from everyone‘s #Top24of24 (edited) 8mo
Suet624 Hahaha. Each book I saw listed I‘d say “yup, so good”. I haven‘t read every one on your list but close enough. It‘s been a great reading year for both of us! 8mo
sarahbarnes @kspenmoll I agree! It‘s always so fun to look at the lists and add to my TBR! 8mo
sarahbarnes @Suet624 too funny - I feel like we‘ve definitely both read some great books this year! I‘ve definitely gotten some recommendations from you. 8mo
Lesliereadsalot So many good ones on there! 8mo
Cathythoughts Taking a screenshot to investigate further 👍🏻😁 8mo
Centique I love so many books on your list! So glad to see Garden of Evening Mist, Remains of the Day and Moon Tiger are there 😍 and North Woods is probably my favourite of the year. 8mo
JuniperWilde I have Noopiming on my TBR. I‘ve been waiting for the right moment to start it. Your list has prompted me to put it top of my list for ‘25. 8mo
sarahbarnes @JuniperWilde it really is so good. I hope you enjoy it! 8mo
sarahbarnes @Centique @Lesliereadsalot @Cathythoughts here‘s to another great reading year! ♥️♥️ 8mo

I got 65/100. Several I had never heard, but now want to try. Here are the three that I will try first:

1. Butterscotch Pie
2. Graham Cracker Toffee
3. Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Now I want pie! 🥧 great list @dabbe #TLT

TheSpineView I tried the Strawberry Pretzel at a pot luck. I liked the sweet and savory combo. 10mo
dabbe I do, too! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🧡🍁🤎 10mo
MaureenMc In my neck of the woods (Midwest) we emphasize the *salad* part of strawberry pretzel salad, so it‘s a side dish, not a dessert. 🤣🤣 (edited) 10mo
Mollyanna @TheSpineView that‘s what intrigues me about it. I love sweet/salt together. 10mo
Mollyanna @MaureenMc I grew up with cookie salad or snickers salad as a side dish 😂, so I‘m right there with you! 10mo
