Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust | Michael Hingson, Susy Flory

pick

Michael Hingson was on the 78th floor of tower one when the first plane hit. This is the story of how he and his guide dog lived through the day. It is also the story of his life. It's hard to say I enjoyed this because of the subject but I did find it interesting. #Booked2021 #RelatedTo9-11 @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage

BarbaraTheBibliophage Wow - another interesting choice for this prompt. They are all hard books to read, that‘s for sure. 3y

Cinfhen I love reading the survival stories!! While so many perished we need to celebrate those who made it out ♥️🙌🏻 3y

Red at the Bone | Jacqueline Woodson

pick

The book opens at a coming-out ceremony for 16 year old Melody. Have you ever met a character and wondered how she came to be? Me neither! But we get to find out here. 🤣
I listened to this on audio, & despite having a full cast of narrators, it was still a little difficult to keep track of the POV & time hopping happening here. Woodson tells an interesting story of how teen pregnancy affects this family but some parts left me wanting more. ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick It was touching and sympathetic, but this was a low pick for me.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3y

Prairiegirl_reading I think when the major complaint is that it‘s too short that‘s pretty good. 😄 it was my only complaint on this one. 3y

Cinfhen It‘s funny, I read this book awhile back and LOVED it but when I recently reread but this time on audio, I too found the story lost some of its magic for all the reasons you mentioned above. I thought a multiple cast narration would be helpful but even then it was difficult to follow the story ( and I had already read the book)!! I would like a follow up to Melody‘s story☺️ 3y

alisiakae I also had a hard time keeping track of the POV on audio. I think it‘s one of those best read in print. 3y
