#MiddleGradeMarch
review

I started this for #MiddleGradeMarch but I couldn't get into it. The writing style was a bit stream of consciousness. Something told me the audio would be better and I was correct! Once my library hold came in, I listened to this so quickly. Such an immersive, engaging story of a young refugee from Iran. He shares his experience of bringing his culture into unsympathetic US life, while mixing in Persian myths and family legends

peanutnine Online this is listed as fiction but also a memoir, which seems contradictory... I'm counting it as nonfiction though #Nonfiction2023 I Will Survive @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 4d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Sounds very good either way 5h

Ladygodiva7 Holy cow!!! You read 400 books in 3 months?! 2mo
Cazxxx Wow 😮 that‘s an amazing achievement l! 2mo
anushareflects Incredible! So curious to know the process behind such a massive accomplishment - could you please share? 2mo
Meshell1313 Wow wow wow 🙌🙌🙌 2mo
Twainy You go girl! I‘m at 100 books. I‘m enjoying one story a day. If I read too much more than that I hit a slump & burn out. I read for entertainment & a lot of technical/reference manuals for work (not included in the 100) … then I also have a 60-80 hour a week job. So you must be in the publishing industry to be able to read 4-5 books a day. I just gave myself a headache thinking about that LOL You are a superstar!!! Very nice achievement. 😁🙌🏻 2mo
Clwojick @Ladygodiva7 @anushareflects @Twainy I‘ve been averaging 100 a month. But March was significantly more because I was reading tons of shorted books for #MiddleGradeMarch. I pretty much live with my headphones in, listening to audiobooks, at 3x speed (average book takes 3-4 hrs).I work at the hospital, and a good chunk of my shifts are solo, so I can have a headphone in between phone calls to nurses/doctors/sending hospitals. ❤️⬇️ (edited) 2mo
Clwojick I also listen while I clean, commute, etc. My goal was 1/day, but this year there are so many readathons & challenges, which help to keep me motivated. I also read all sorts of genres, and I only read for fun… so I just switch it up whenever I feel like I‘m going to hit a slump. 2mo
Twainy Twinsies! I really can‘t listen much at work when other people are in but otherwise I listen while awake. Bluetooth is king! I float from speaker to car to phone to headset all day long. I only listen at 3X when I HAVE to know or I want it over, otherwise even with headphones on I‘m not enjoying the chipmunks narration. I am after all here to enjoy 😄 or I keep telling myself & nearly every book is a different hand picked genre or certain burnout! 2mo
Clwojick @Twainy 😂 I only notice the chipmunk noise when I‘m listening on speaker, which is super rare. I‘ll slow it down if it bugs me. But 3x sounds totally normal to me through my AirPods. We even have a Bluetooth speaker in the shower. We had to get one after i accidentally walked into the shower with my AirPods in because I was so into the book. 😂😂😂 my husband always has music playing, and I have my audiobooks. (edited) 2mo
Clwojick @Twainy I would honestly be okay with going to 3.5x for some books, and hope they offer it soon. Some apps only offered 2x and I couldn‘t use them because it seemed so SLOW to me. 3 is just my comfort zone now. 2mo

Stosh has time-traveled to 1863, right into the middle of the Civil War. Stosh has decided to answer the question for all time: did Abner Doubleday, a Civil War general, really invent the game of baseball?

#MiddleGradeMarch and the #TransRightsReadathon led me to tons of impulse reads this month. In addition I did manage to read my #bookspin and 2 of my #roll100 books and keep up with my buddy reads. My #doublespin this month is the my current slow poetry read, so I expect to finish it sometime in mid May.
