Interesting. A bit of a scary topic as it makes clear that we are woefully unprepared, at the present time, to deal with the results of expanding life expectancy.

There was a lot of info here. Luckily, Goldberg writes in a very engaging, witty, and humorous way; other wise it would've read like a dry history text. The individual POVs from each side were interesting and enlightening and sometimes frustrating. Overall, a very worthy read.

This completed a second bingo for the month; yayyy!

I‘m hosting a new challenge for 2025, #FictionalTraveler . Through the magic of books, we‘ll be traveling to different locations throughout the world. Choose your own book, based on the monthly prompt. Personally, I‘ll be reading books I already own, in my never-ending quest to tackle #MountTBR .

Very low key. When you finish your book each month, just post a review using the #FictionalTraveler hashtag, and tag me. ⬇️

julieclair Feel free to dip in and out throughout the year. I‘ve created a StoryGraph challenge for those who would find it helpful: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/eebba389-4e05-42f3-b771-b413425... 2w

It was a little all over the place, too drawn-out, and not quite about what the synopsis says it's about. And if I wasn't too lazy to decide on a different book, it would've been a DNF.

Just watched Rob Sheffield on Morning Mika.

As someone who used to love pop music back in the 80s, I find myself singing Taylor‘s lyrics because they do remind me of different times in my life. Plus they‘re catchy!

This book seems perfect because I‘m less interested in Taylor‘s personal life, and much more interested in her creative process & business acumen.

This isn't my genre of choice, but I thought it would be more character driven than plot driven given the unusual age of the woman. Definitely a case of it's the reader, not the book.

TheAromaofBooks I enjoyed this one, but felt like the characters were all kind of the same. 4w
TheBookgeekFrau @TheAromaofBooks Yes! The last chapters had a few pops of personality, but that was it. 4w
