Getting to Know You
Getting to Know You | Jeanne McSweeney
13 posts
In a world of loneliness, polarization, and separation, this gem of a book shows how to really get to know another person. The authors utilize their 75 years of personal experience and a wealth of testimonials from others to present a guide to forging a deep, satisfying relationship. A perfect gift for one's self or a new friend.

1. I don't know about ever, but the shortest book I've read so far in 2019 was “The Spectator Bird“ (226 pgs).
2. Longest book ever was “War and Peace“ (1,802 pgs). Every year I read a book that is 1,000 pages or more.
3. I do genealogy research, so I have books in my house from the 1800s (town histories and the like)
4. “What We Will Become: A Mother, a Son, and a Journey of Transformation“ -- published on 11/12/19

#bookquestion #EST @ljuliel

ljuliel You‘re able to crank out those books pretty quickly, so a book of 200+ pages was probably a breeze. 😊. Now.....War and Peace....I‘ve heard is a REALLY good book. That is one.big.book. 4y
Amiable @ljuliel “W&P“ was a lot more readable and enjoyable than I expected! I took my time with it -- it took about 3 or 4 months to finish. Had to download that on my e-reader, though -- didn't want to carry that puppy around on the train to work! 😬 4y
ljuliel I can imagine. You‘d build up some powerful arm muscles 💪🏼 4y

❤ Finland
🧡 38
💛 I'm a neuropsychologist at a hospital. Libraries suck here so I buy mine mostly from Bookdepository and Amazon etc.
💚 Happily single, never wanting to mingle
💙 She/her
💜 Some variation of it has nearly always been my username so here we go again.

Chrissyreadit You have an amazing job! Why are libraries bad in Finland? That just surprised me.... now I‘m curious about libraries around the world. 5y
Briary @Chrissyreadit I like reading in english and my library is not that keen on those. Not to mention more obscure non-fiction ones.. 😅 Libraries in bigger cities are better, but the collections are still mainly in finnish. 5y
