I audio-garden just about every evening (currently living on cherry tomatoes!) This was a funny and lighthearted way to pluck some veggies! Kelsey runs a gossip podcast where she essentially tells some tales. I haven‘t listened to it but I can bet it‘s entertaining. She explores many aspects of gossip in the book including urban legends, mean girls, high school, pop culture, reality tv, celebrity gossip and more. It was ok, but not memorable.

Maybe I need to give Hilderbrand a break. I‘m finding it a little boring the last few listens

PurpleyPumpkin That sometimes happens to me when I read the same author. Feels like it‘s a bit repetitive even if I enjoy the books! A break usually helps. 3w
Shemac77 Agreed! I listened to something different and I‘m ready to hop back in. @PurpleyPumpkin 3w
PurpleyPumpkin 😉🙌🏽 Enjoy! 3w

mcctrish I‘m so happy for Molly to feel happy ❤️ Cynthia is engaged to 2 men #thattracks is she using her money to pay off his debts and keep him quiet ? 1mo
Ruthiella I too am so pleased that Molly can spend some quality time with her father. The reader also feels the relief of Mrs. Gibson‘s absence. 1mo

willaful @Ruthiella yes, very much so. Though I kind of hate all the kindly neighbors for not leaving them be. Again I'm reminded of Austen, this time in the way your time is not your own. 1mo
Cuilin The social calls are eating into #DaddyDaughterTime @Ruthiella yes I‘m enjoying my own break from Mrs Gibson 😆 (edited) 1mo
ElizaMarie That Cynthia - ugh! Her juggling men totally tracks @mcctrish 1mo
mcctrish @Ruthiella reading about #notarealclare processing how to get her way is exhausting 1mo

willaful I just remembered, I was so confused by Molly's mother having also been named Preston. What an odd thing for an author to do, unless it's somehow going to be relevant to the plot, but since no one even remarks on it I don't think it is. 1mo
rubyslippersreads @willaful That confused me too. 1mo

My reading is getting quite interesting at this point of the year- novels for school, memoir for book club, and sci-fi & fantasy for relaxation! Enjoyed the tagged new release as a fan of the Normal Gossip podcast for my commute to work.

In one way this book is exactly what it says it‘s about but in another way I feel it‘s lacking &too surface level. I feel the latter has more to do w/me than the book. I didn‘t know of McKinney or her podcast previously; I was drawn to this book b/c I‘m someone who simultaneously loves &hates gossip &was hoping for some insight into our obsession w/it at a more psychological &social science level. This largely discusses celebrities &reality tv.

Reggie The podcast is effing hilarious. It‘s real low stakes gossip but the situations and where people find themselves is so outrageously funny. 4mo
Kristy_K @Reggie That‘s the kind of gossip I love to listen to! 4mo

“Mr.Peabody knew that he would need to teach his students a lesson about words.“

This book can teach character education and I could use the stories to discuss the impact of gossip, rumors, and the importance of integrity. After reading this book, I could also lead a discussion and talk about the scenarios where students practice honesty and and respect.

This book is a picture book and was published in 2003. It tells the story of a beloved teacher and a baseball coach, Mr.Peabody, who becomes the subject of a harmful rumor in his small town. Throughout the book the children learn about the consequences of gossip and the importance of honesty and integrity.

Finally finished this one. I probably should have bailed early on but I kept thinking something interesting would surely happen. It didn‘t really…
