Using Kindle: A Complete Guide to Amazon's Revolutionary Wireless Reading Devices (Kindle DX, Kindle 2) | Jim Cheshire

Here‘s my #readyourkindle picks for March. #16 is a mood read, #14 is a mood read, #19 is Kindle Unlimited and #1 is #roll100. Basically, I can choose whatever books I want for these prompts except for #roll100. I have 1 book that I started last month from my #roll100 list. If I get finished with it this month then I‘ll add it on here. It‘s taking awhile to read because it‘s a nonfiction book you journal along with.

The Museum of Extraordinary Things | Alice Hoffman

so-so

Interesting story, but I didn‘t like how jumped back and forth between timelines and characters- it didn‘t feel organized. The fire at the end made me so sad. I don‘t trust authors who kill animals in their books. Book #16 in 2025

mcctrish Did I miss a chapter ? I thought today was #16 I just read about the dr saying no more visitors and learning about who the ‘friend‘ is, not a friend, just a fan #goodgrief 4w

mcctrish I‘m not a fan of the dr 4w

CogsOfEncouragement I thought handing Esther the newspaper articles was messed up, but I also thought it was an interesting way to tell us what happened when we have been relying on Esther to give us the scoop. 4w

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish ugh did I misnumber?!? 4w

dabbe I totally see the doctor differently. Esther's mom views everything Esther does as a rebuke against her, which makes Esther feel alienated from the one woman who should serve as her guide into adulthood. When Doctor Nolan realizes that seeing her mother and others only harms Esther and ends the visits, to me she becomes a mother figure to Esther—one who is warmer and more accepting of Esther's conflicts than Esther's real mother. ⬇️ 4w

dabbe Though this may seem cruel to Mrs. Greenwood, it seems to be a necessary step toward Esther's recovery and is evidenced by how relieved Esther is by the doctor's choice. Somebody finally noticed what she needed and willingly gave it to Esther. 4w

mcctrish @dabbe oh I totally think the mom should be banned, Esther doesn‘t need to explain to her why she feels the way she does ( as if she could) I‘m mad at the dr for springing the electric shocks on Esther - I don‘t feel they are on the same page with how “I will let you know if and when we go that route” plays out 4w

dabbe @mcctrish Is Esther in for more electric shock treatment? I've only read to Ch. 16, so my thoughts were based on that. I guess my views will change with Ch. 17. #ruhroh 4w

mcctrish @dabbe I‘m mixed up with the chapters 🤦🏻‍♀️ 4w

dabbe @mcctrish Easy to do; they flow quickly in this one. 🤗 I might even finish tonight. 🤞🏻 4w

Bookwormjillk Ok yeah now I don‘t like that doctor anymore. 4w

ElizaMarie So, #InTheDoctorsDefense I get why she didn't tell her the night before. I think Esther should have a say in if/when she gets shock treatment, but.. in this world/time/hospital she doesn't, so telling her and letting her freak out about it all night could have caused her to hurt herself, whereas springing it on her, is a bit more kind (in a - kind even though we are subjecting you to a treatment you don't consent to kind of way) 4w

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie good point! This is one of those situations where you can‘t really win! 4w

Clare-Dragonfly @ElizaMarie That‘s fair, but I‘m still pretty mad at the doctor, because as I see it she broke her promise. She told Esther, but not until Esther had figured it out herself. She should have given her a few days of warning. 4w

The Celtic Twilight | William Butler Yeats

pick

Book #16 of 2024: “The Celtic Twilight” by WB Yeats

This had a few poems but was mostly stories about the Sidhe collected from Irish people across the country. I‘ll come back to it again later when I have time to do some more research into the people, places, and legends referenced. And, maybe, take a trip to all the places Yeats identifies as doors to the dim world.

1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die | Robert Dimery

This is an update on a post on #tuesdaytunes post a couple of weeks ago, The local member supported radio station has completed their countdown of the top 909 albums. The initial 899 would be represented by 1 song, but the final top 10 they played last week in their entirety. I caught a little bit while at work but I just looked at the site & found the graphic breakdown on their site fascinating: (CONT)

vivastory https://bridge909.org/news/top-909-albums-of-all-time-a-closer-look
I checked to see where the albums that I voted for landed & Ziggy Stardust ended at #3 (!), Pixies Doolittle #33. I did't see Miles Davis Round Bout Midnight, but I did see the fantastic Kind of Blue at #16 & the epic Bitches' Brew. This is in an incredible list. So, for my #tuesdaytunes selection this week, I am going to choose 1 song from a few of the top 10 albums that I love. (edited) 8mo

vivastory *Beatles: Come Together (Abbey Road
https://open.spotify.com/track/2EqlS6tkEnglzr7tkKAAYD?si=de1be9f6c0084ffe
*Prince: When Doves Cry (Purple Rain)
https://open.spotify.com/track/6sby78fghipoXHQLeeZFFH?si=3da293603b804f4f
*Fleetwood Mac: Go Your Own Way (Rumours)

*Radiohead: No Surprises (OK Computer)

vivastory Looking at the albums selected for the final 909, I think that you could give it to someone who is wanting to get into music in a big way. A crowd sourced list, with results on par with a big magazine. @tiedyedude (edited) 8mo

Suet624 I have never been a fan of Fleetwood Mac. Shocking, I know. Ziggy, though, I saw in Nashville in the early 70‘s. 8mo

BarbaraBB This is so cool. What a list! I scrolled through and it really is fabulous. Only thing are my Chili Peppers… Californication at 676 and even Blood Sugar Sex Magik at 329 🤷🏻‍♀️ But I agree on Prince, Fleetwood Mac and Nirvana in the Top 10. Also glad to see Lauryn Hill there, I am going to see her later this year. 8mo

Cathythoughts That‘s a real blast from the past Beatles picture ❤️ 8mo

vivastory @Suet624 That is shocking. Landslide is one of my fave songs of all-time. That's so cool you saw Bowie 8mo

vivastory @BarbaraBB That's awesome that you're going to be seeing Lauryn Hill! I was pleased to see her ranked high. The Fugees were a favorite in high school 8mo

vivastory @Cathythoughts Iconic! 8mo

TieDyeDude Nice selections. Fun list. Not a lot of surprises, but I didn't expect Jason Isabel in the top 20 8mo

vivastory @TieDyeDude He's a big deal here. I like him, but I have to admit that I don't quite get all of the hype. 8mo

Using Kindle: A Complete Guide to Amazon's Revolutionary Wireless Reading Devices (Kindle DX, Kindle 2) | Jim Cheshire

I‘m so glad the numbers were drawn for #readyourkindle because I needed something to take my mind off of worrying about a hurricane hitting me here in TX. I woke up with my heart beating really fast. Anyway, #4 is a Christian book. #9 is a romance between a CEO and an employee. #16 is a dark romance. #18 is an erotic story with a professor in it. I don‘t know if it has romance in it or not. I don‘t know if I‘ll read these this month.
