pop culture, navel gazing, gender, libraries, technology, and general geekery
I switched cell carriers after nine years with my last one and just got my first non-HTC smart phone. This has nothing to do with anything and isn’t the least bit interesting, I just want to play with my phone so I’m blogging from it.
Here’s a picture of my dog.
I finally finished Americanah which I started in APRIL and restarted in October. I feel that I would have liked this book much more if I had read it traditionally instead of via audiobook. The narrator did NOT work for me at all. This is the first title I’ve actually returned to Audible. They’re so great about that.
Yaaaaasssss! It was so good. I raced through Career of Evil (Cormoran Strike #3) and again Robert Glenister is a PHENOMENAL reader. I love listening to him. This one is especially grisly, but I absolutely love this world. I audibly gasped when it ended. I’m ready for #4.Â
Now I’m slowly working my way through The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (book set in Asia) and Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, & the Prison of Belief (which I may count as a microhistory? or not at all). The microhistory category doesn’t really appeal to me. I have tons of contenders. I’m sure one of them will stick.
