I'm so far behind with posting things.  Blah!

This year, the challenge is 12 months to read 12 books reccomended by 12 friends.  Maybe I'll finish this one?  Last year was a bomb.  LOL

I cannot recommend enough The Monster at the End of This Book. It's a story of self inflicted panic and pressure and the bravery that it takes to overcome your own fear. I don't think that there is an audio book version, but if you can deal with the fear, it can be a quick read.



Also, JANE AUSTEN!



YOU'VE GOT THIS!!!

Aw, I've heard a lot about that book. Mostly from the Peloton Mom's Book Club I'm in on FB. LOL


So, what Jane Austen would you recommend? I listened to Pride and Prejudice on your rec last year and enjoyed it. I just finished Good Omens this morning, so I'm in the market for a new audiobook.


THANK YOU! The one thing I have a handle on in this life is my reading. ROFL

So the same actress does Sense & Sensibility on free audible. But my favorite Jane Austen is Persuasion.

Okay, so I have Persuasion in my library already. I'll listen to that next, thank you!

LOL.


I'm probably not thinking of the same book. I would agree though that it's a quick read.

You probably have the right book. Grover is very convincing in his panic. ;)

Grover's always been a touch neurotic. Might be why he's always been one of my faves.

I want to rec something, but my brain is fired... fried but also fired. I'll try to think of something tomorrow.

Yay! I have one I've been struggling to finish, but I'm also on the last short story so there's that.

Hopefully you'll finish it soon. I've read some good ones so far this year.
