I did a better search tonight for books for the #readingOceania challenge, especially for audiobooks, which really help me knock out lots of books. So here‘s part 1 of my anticipated reads for the challenge this year. @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB I am surprised there are so many choices! 3mo

Librarybelle Hooray! 3mo

Larkken In case you are still looking for possibilities from the Marianas Islands, the tagged is by a poet/activist from Guam and is nonfiction. I‘ve not read it so would be interested to hear what you thought of it!

The Properties of Perpetual Light

marleed I discovered Libby while I was living in SA because the library did such a great job encouraging people to try their e-lib. It opened up doors to many more options to experience books! I lived less than a mile from the fascinating Central Library but it was the e-library I was most grateful for. Funny thing is, I purchase more physical books because audiobooks allow me to experience so many more authors and genres! 3mo

Texreader @marleed I discovered Libby late last year during jury duty!! 😊 and I work about two blocks from the central library but never go. I keep telling myself it would be good to go walk there but I don‘t. I think it‘s been closed for construction too. 3mo

Texreader @Larkken Thank you!!! 3mo

Texreader @BarbaraBB Right? 3mo

marleed @Texreader omg - I was called for jury duty about 3 months into living in SA and I walked down from my Pearl apt to the courthouse (because I could). The ordeal was fascinating since hundreds of potential jurors for many cases gathered. Coolest thing though, as the morning kicked off this older man (bailiff I suppose) welcomed everyone and explained how proud he was of us for showing up for our civic duty. He made me proud to be there. 3mo

Texreader @marleed I served on a jury many years ago here in SA. I got lucky this time. But I think it‘s a great public service. And as a litigator it was fascinating to be on that side of it. 3mo

I‘ve spent the evening looking through my library and free ebooks for #readingoceania2024. Just a start but I feel good to have found something for every country. @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle

BarbaraBB That is quite the start! You‘ve found so many already! 3mo

5feet.of.fury I have a fave travel book that‘s set in Fiji & Vanuatu

Texreader @5feet.of.fury Sounds fun! The book I listed for Fiji doesn‘t have the best reviews so I definitely want to consider something else. Thank you!! 3mo

Texreader @BarbaraBB You know me! I can‘t wait too long to get started!! 3mo

BarbaraBB And that‘s so cool! 3mo

It‘s real then! I‘d heard the rumours. A Penguin vending machine in the main foyer of the station, between the ticket machines and Starbucks.

What I didn‘t know was that profits are shared with the local indie bookshop, which is great!
