Had to jump in for this one (but couldn‘t quite narrow it down to three 😆)
1. Tagged
2. Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan
3. The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made by Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell
4. The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson
5. Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted by Suleika Jaouad

Apparently I really like memoirs 📚

Audiobook for January. Not sure what to think, but it was much more on the conspiracy than I wanted, but it was interesting learning about the three secretive nondisclosure global groups of power players and discussions of historical development and international policy. Some quasi-espionage investigative journalism stories included. It was both super detailed with lists of members and big picture, without really providing needed clarity.

1. My middle name is Leona after my grandmother on my mother's side.
2. I have one sister younger than me.
3. I love the Boxcar Children series. They live in a boxcar and they sure look after each other as siblings. @Eggs

"It isn‘t about changing the mechanics of economics. It is about changing the ideas, the dogmas that have driven economics for centuries: debt and fear, insufficiency, divide and conquer. It is about revolution. The transition from a death economy to a life economy is truly about a change in consciousness — a consciousness revolution."

I don‘t think I would have finished it if I hadn‘t listened to the audio version. It held my interest unevenly, but overall I liked it. It was a little painful to relive the 2008 financial crisis, but it depicts “expert economists” as inept greedy elites. #nowarbutclasswar

Boxcar children and magic treehouse were tied.

Last time I was ecstatic was a few days ago buying my new quilt.

Fond memories would be going to movies and sneaking in cheaper junk food. #wondrouswednesday

I don‘t remember where I first heard about this book but I was certainly intrigued by the title. The author is humorous and enjoyable to read. It is a very thorough book full of a lot of information. Talked about BS jobs and shared personal insights from interviews. It got a little long for me toward the end but I am glad to have pushed through. Enjoyable book.
