I started this one a couple years ago and was loving it, but it was so hard to keep reading as whenever I would read it, it essentially told me to put the book down and go to bed 😂. However, it's perfect for #WakeUpCall for #TuneintoNovember as it really hits home how important good sleep is for a fully functioning, healthy body. (And that's also the name of part one!)

EchoLogical I loved this one but I'm also a huge believer in the power of adequate rest so I might be biased 😄. I listened to the audio and really enjoyed her sister reading it. There was a good balance of anecdotes to make it personal but also enough actual science for the reader to learn from it. 6y
Kaylamburson Yes, agreed! I wish all my bosses would read it and get on board with nap pods lol. It's proven that there would be more productivity!! I actually decided to pick up where I left off and the chapter on lucidity dreaming is fascinating. I am a big lucid dreamer! @EchoLogical 6y
Cinfhen Excellent! 6y

Playing catch up here but this seemed like it fits. Literally and figuratively! When a monster wakes you up, it‘s time to sit up and pay attention.

Also this book is amazing. Break your heart and put it back together good 😍

Cinfhen Great choice! Did u see the film?!? (edited) 6y
Robothugs Oh my goodness. I cried the entire way through this film, but it was so beautiful. I blame the book for this, because I knew ahead of time. You have to see it if you haven‘t! 6y
Liz_M That image is stunning! 6y

Centique @Cinfhen @Robothugs no I haven‘t seen the film yet. I want to! I saw the trailer and it looks amazing. Definitely will be a snot bomb😭 6y
Centique @Liz_M the artwork in the book is amazing. It‘s very short with lots of art. 😍 6y
Cinfhen I haven't seen it either #snotbomb sounds about right 6y

Persuasion (Revised) | Jane Austen

The rental of Kellynch Hall by Admiral & Mrs. Croft led to a #wakeupcall for Anne & Frederick about their feelings for each other. I usually use whatever scrap of paper is close at hand as #bookmarks, but I do have a few nice ones, including Anne, Frederick, and a gift from my #wintersolsticesecretsanta last year. 😊

Robothugs Oh my goodness! I love them!! 😍 6y
MarriedtoMrT I‘m in the scrap of paper bandwagon, too. I don‘t own any cool bookmarks. 🙈 6y
Rachbb3 Yes! I love those. Persuasion is my favorite. 😀 6y

When I listened to the song #wakeupcall for today‘s prompt, it immediately brought this book to mind, and I‘m not really sure why. I guess the situations of the three friends made it seem like they needed a wake up call, each in different ways, and the events of the latter half certainly gave them one. Picture from a kayaking trip last summer. #tuneintonovember @Cinfhen @Robothugs

Robothugs I haven‘t read this, but I‘m intrigued! 6y

My #wakeupcall every morning is one of my two kids, one from her crib or the other sneaking into our bed. We got this book when my son refused to stay in his bed. The Dad teachers her a method to get her to fall asleep. A good one for bad sleepers. #diversebooks #tuneintonovember

Cinfhen I could have used this book 24 years ago!!!! 6y
Blaire @Cinfhen the struggle is real. 6y

#TuneIntoNovember #WakeUpCall ⏰ I set an early wake up call on my iPhone this Saturday of #litsypartyofone weekend in order to run my errands & make it to Whole Foods before the masses. Instead I hit snooze & slept in a bit.😴😆I did make it to WF & they had the most gorgeous Buddha's hands in the produce department so I had to take a pic & it made me think of this audiobook in my #TBR stack that's a bit of a wake up call for finding joy in life💛

Cinfhen Gorgeous, but what is a Buddha hand?!!? What does it taste like!?!? 6y
LeahBergen I've never heard of Buddha's Hands! 6y
LeahBergen @Cinfhen 😂 we were writing at the same time! 6y

DebinHawaii @Cinfhen @LeahBergen It's a type of citrus, like a strong perfume-y lemon: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha's_hand I have only had it a few times & like to look at it more than eat or cook with it. It's just so striking to look at. 6y
LeahBergen Very cool. I bet it looks stunning just sitting in a fruit bowl. 6y
Leftcoastzen Very beautiful photo,Dali Lama always makes me happy. 6y
ApoptyGina69 @DebinHawaii @LeahBergen @Cinfhen Hangar One vodka in CA makes a Buddha‘s Hand infusion. It‘s a bit weird ( and I like citrus vodkas), but their recipes make some festive cocktail options. The fruit itself is really all aromatic rind. 6y
DebinHawaii @LeahBergen Yes. Usually when I see them they are a bit broken up but these had all the 'fingers.' But they were $8.99 a pound & most of these are probably at least a couple pounds so I am content to look at my pics! 😆😬💰 (edited) 6y
DebinHawaii @Leftcoastzen Me too! 😀👍💛 6y
DebinHawaii @ApoptyGina69 @Cinfhen @LeahBergen Yes, I've had alcohol infused with it & had it candied and used as a garnish but there isn't much to them beyond the rind for sure. 6y
LeahBergen @DebinHawaii @ApoptyGina69 Fascinating stuff. I learn new things on Litsy every day! 😆 6y
DivineDiana I have seen them at the grocery store and marveled! Just no idea what to do with them! This post is helpful .... and beautiful! 6y
