Mehso-so

The juvenile antics and attitude that Mullane had in his early career really grated on me, even if he did seem to grow up by the time he left NASA. It would have been a pick if he wasn‘t such an unlikeable personality.

You know you're in for a funny book when it starts with an anecdote about enemas.

Aside from finishing the ones with bookmarks and a book club reread of Ember, not sure what I'll tackle for #24in48, but I've got plenty of options! #readathon

BookFreakOut @Mwessell2002 Not yet, I was lucky enough to snag an ARC at the American Library Association conference. I've seen Nov 8 for a release date. 8y
BookFreakOut @MrBook Thanks! Quite a few are things I've bought that have been sitting and waiting impatiently for their turn. 8y
MrBook 😊👍🏻 8y
mlindley Are you in a local book club or online? 8y
BookFreakOut @mlindley Local, but there are quite a few on Litsy if you're looking. 8y
mlindley @BookFreakOut Definitely looking. How do i search for them? I'm new to Litsy 8y
BookFreakOut @mlindley I put the word "club" in the people search bar, the active ones I know of are @TheSpinecrackersBookClub @litsybookclub @WhoPickedThisBook 8y
BookFreakOut @mlindley I also know Twitter has plenty, I'm not on there myself but I imagine googling Twitter book club would do the trick. GoodReads.com also has groups under their community tab. Hope you find something that fits for you! 8y
litsybookclub @mlindley we'd love to have you!! Come join the fun! 8y
TheSpinecrackersBookClub @mlindley hope to see you part of our club 😁 8y
