Finally made some time for a little audio puzzling! 👻🎧🧩

Mudpuppy: Ghostly Gathering

I really enjoyed her writing! The absolute courage it must have taken for her to come forward is unimaginable. 4.5⭐️

Upsetting, honest, and starkly funny, E Jean Carroll is a national treasure for her journalistic legacy and well as her historical one with the most flawed president we‘ve ever had. Read by the author, learning about her personal journey was fascinating.

I knew of E. Jean Carroll‘s rape case against Trump but I live under a rock and don‘t keep up with celebrities or the wealthy so I didn‘t know what I was in for when I downloaded this audio other than a patron at work going on about it and sparking my curiosity. E.Jean narrates the audio. She‘s brave and funny and her retelling of this case was quite unique. I love that she‘s donating the +$100M she wins to all the causes Trump hates. Brilliant!

We do not care who you are. Why do you sue everyone in sight for saying (true) things about you that you don‘t like? For a book that was published a YEAR AGO and obviously (unfortunately) did not harm your last “quest,” or we wouldn‘t be in the mess we are today. And for $15 billion? #getoveryourself #ranttime #wdncw

From the blurb on the back cover I thought this was about trump‘s handling of covid, and it was, but it was about a lot more than that. Other the prologue, covid wasn‘t mentioned again until 210 pages in. Still, it was interesting for the most part.

Not sure what I expected, but this was far better and actually, strangely enjoyable. I‘m going to look for Carroll‘s other books because her voice is very readable. There were some difficult parts, as expected, but overall she makes this memoir funny, relatable, quick-paced, and memorable. Highly recommend.

This right here is why I can actually say I‘m enjoying this book. Carroll‘s sense of humor is just fantastic.

…like all survivors of sexual assault who take their cases to court, my body is at the heart of the case…

There‘s a theme in my current reading.
