Megabooks

Famous People: A Novel | Justin Kuritzkes

pick

This was a surprise #backlist library hit!

A mid-20s musician who shot to fame as a kid reflects back on his father and stepfather issues, his odd friendship with a Danish environmentalist, and a surprising decision that his first love, and fellow pop icon, makes mid-writing.

This fell so close to 5⭐️. Highly recommend the #audiobook of this novel!

Cinfhen

BiblioLitten Sounds promising. Stacked! 2y

Megabooks @BiblioLitten 👍🏻👍🏻 enjoy! 2y

Cinfhen Scribd doesn‘t have it 😭😭maybe #Hoopla or #OverDrive but my library isn‘t as good as yours 2y

Holidays on Ice | David Sedaris

pick

I get why this collection isn‘t for everyone but for me, listening to Sedaris share his days as a Macy‘s Holiday Elf was priceless. And when he describes the traditions associated with Christmas Eve around the world, I was laughing out loud. I‘ve heard Sedaris read a few of these personal essays before and they are STILL just as funny. His delivery is always perfect.

Nute I just picked up David Sedaris‘s The Best of Me because I read that he is really funny. Thanks for the endorsement of that sentiment.🙂 2y

GypsyKat Adding this to my December TBR! 2y

Cinfhen I recently listened to the audio of Best of Me @Nute and I definitely laughed a lot. His humor is a little dark but I find him so endearing - his personal family essays are ridiculous!! I hope you enjoy 😊 (edited) 2y

I just saw this in one of our local library‘s newsletters. It‘s disappointing to me. I have both downloaded and have tried Libby several times but I just don‘t care for it as much as Overdrive. I find it more difficult to find books of interest. Hopefully they‘ll make some improvements.
#Overdrive #Libby

Well-ReadNeck @megnews I agree with you 💯 I prefer functionality over “features”. 2y

marleed Oh dang, I‘m not a fan of the Libby functionality either and find Overdrive much easier to navigate. 2y

Crazeedi I loved overdrive, but have been using libby and starting to like it a whole lot more. 2y

fredamans That sucks. Never used Libby but love Overdrive. 2y

megnews @Crazeedi I‘m trying because it sounds like overdrive will be phased out end of 2022. 2y

Crazeedi @megnews it's really very good, I have been using for about a year, and actually haven't even gone on overdrive, it's pretty easy to navigate, has good features, especially if you belong to different libraries, I belong to 3 different ones. So you can see if a book title available from each 2y

megnews @Crazeedi if you search for a book can you see the list of of libraries it‘s available when you have multiple libraries? Or do you have to switch between libraries? I can‘t seem to see all of them at one time. 2y

Crazeedi @megnews I'm posting a photo of where you see other libraries 2y

sblbooks I'm disappointed. I love overdrive. 2y

The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan | Kim Barker

pick

#Pakistan through the eyes of Kim Barker was the epitome of the wild Wild West in 2008/2009. A place full of absurdities and unseen dangers. Like her experiences in Afghanistan, Kim often found herself in both ridiculous and reckless situations. I thought this book was a little on the lite side but still compelling and entertaining. Happy I picked this up for #FoodAndLit @Texreader @Butterfinger Audio was great 😊 #OverDrive

Cinfhen #DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks 3y

Megabooks Sounds interesting! 3y

Butterfinger Great review!! 3y

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! 3y

Cinfhen Thanks @Butterfinger @TheAromaofBooks I think you‘d might get annoyed with Kim @Megabooks or you might be entirely entertained, like I was. Memoir was made into a movie starting Tina Fey: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (FYI) 3y
