BAIL.... Only managed 55 tedious self congratulatory pages. This gave me the ick before I even got to the icky parts of his story. Will stick to enjoying his acting only.
Switching to a #kindle read for evening and getting my inner trekkie on
pickThis made for delightful listening while walking my dog over the last 8-9 days. Enjoyed learning about Stewart‘s young life and career. Overall, it was a fun listen 🙂
pickA truly delightful listening experience. Stewart is honest about his flaws, vulnerable in his insecurities and the dark moments he experienced as a child, but the majority of this book reads as a rose-coloured glance back over a life well-lived. He manages both gratitude for the opportunities, and calm statements of where his hard work contributed to his success. 1/?
1. Tagged. My only 5 🌟 read for January
2. Dhalgren - Samuel R. Delaney. #ClassicLSFBC I first read this when I was 15-16 and while I don't remember a lot of the plot, I do remember it made me feel awkward and uncomfortable at time. I'm sure it was some of the sexual situations, which shouldn't bother me 44 years later lol

I tried, I really tried. I thought listening to the audiobook would be lovely since Patrick Stewart has a great speaking voice. However, I just found it tedious and cringy. I felt that it's read without any insight, without reflection, and without emotion. Needless to say, I was disappointed and couldn't push myself to finish it. Since it was due back at the library, I decided to just call it quits.
pick07/150 The first 5🌟 book of 2024. I know its early, but I think this will end up on my list as one of the best of the year. I recommend the audiobook version, not just because Stewart has an amazingly commanding voice, but he's also a natural born storyteller. He had me laughing out loud several times.
7th book finished for #JumpStart2024 @Lizpixie and #Readaway2024 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65 3rd book finished for #JoyousJanuary
I asked for books for Christmas and I received 😊📚
We just did our gifts with my in-laws. And I got all of these from my MIL from my wishlist. I'm so happy 😌
I was planning on The Atlas Complex being my next audiobook listen. However, while waiting for my preorder Tuesday on Audible, my library hold came early, as it often does. I guess I could have pushed it back, but I've been looking forward to hearing Stewart tell his life story. So far it's been excellent, I made the right choice.
pickYes, a memoir, but really more a collection of all his best stories. And he is an engaging storyteller. My biggest takeaway… make the best of all your opportunities, even the ones that seem less than compelling.
