4.5⭐
This was a complete mindfuck but also unputdownable. I listened to it in one sitting. These characters have left a mark on me. What they went through, their reactions, everything felt like it was authentically captured, though the ending is somewhat questionable.
🎙️Taylor Meskimen & Em Eldridge • It wasn‘t the best narration, nor was it the worst.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Annie's life was ordinary—she worked as a real estate agent, had a loving boyfriend, and a tense relationship with her mother. But everything shifted when she was kidnapped by a psychopath. Though she managed to escape, her mind remains haunted by the cabin, a place more suffocating than a prison. The story is told in second-person perspective, with each chapter unfolding as her therapy sessions,where you, the reader, become her psychiatrist.

A Stolen Life: A Memoir | Jaycee Dugard

This book is disturbing on every level. I knew the name but wasn't familiar with the story. On one hand, I appreciate the fact that she hasn't sanitized what happened to her. People need to know that there are monsters all around us, and I think awareness is the only way to spread that message. However, I wouldn't say I'm enjoying reading it. Considering she was captive from age 11-almost 30, it is remarkable she has written a book.⬇️

Jennaree3 To have very little educational background, she has allowed the story to unfurl quite well thus far about halfway into it. Her use of then & now is sophisticated in its clarity (can get confusing to bounce from past to present in some books). I commend her bravery for sharing what she endured. Hard to recommend as it disturbs me truly, but I guess would be ok for people who like true crime 8mo

I stayed in bed way later than I meant to this morning, completely absorbed in Jaycee's story. I cannot imagine the pain and suffering she endured. It's hard to believe there are people in the world who can do such horrendous acts, and she doesn't shy away from sharing exactly what her abuser did to her. It's honest, hopeful, and very well-written especially given the memory blackouts she experienced. Trigger warning for explicit descriptions.

#bannedbooksunday book #2 is "A Stolen Life" by Jaycee Dugard. This book was banned due to references to drugs, smoking and alcohol, offensive language, sexually explicit content and being deemed "unsuitable" for the age group, as well as "adopting, supporting or promoting gender fluidity".

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I didn‘t know this was banned! 12mo
AprilMae @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I got a list from the Kurt Vonnegut Musems website and it had it on there so I did some more research and yeah, banned. I don't think any books should be banned but way to silence a victim trying to tell their story. 12mo

#WeeklyForecast 48/24

I remember @Cathythoughts writing about the tagged book so when I found a copy in a free library I had to pick it up of course. I am going to read it after finishing Yr Dead from the #ToB25 longlist.
I want to read so many of the longlisted books and have a couple of them on my shelves. I‘ll read one each week. Except for this week lol because I also want to read Colored Television!

Ruthiella I love Free Little Library finds like that! It‘s magical somehow. 14mo
Bookwormjillk Yay! Love free libraries. 14mo
squirrelbrain How are you finding Yr Dead? 14mo

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain It‘s short and weird. It‘s a typical #ToB book and I like it but it won‘t be a favorite. Did you order it? 14mo
sarahbarnes So fun that you have some of the long list on your shelves! There are so many I want to read, too. We will see how many I can get to! 14mo
Cathythoughts Oh I think I love her writing.. she is quite dark and sometimes hard to read , but brilliant. I‘m waiting for a new one to come out. I look forward to your thoughts 👍🏻❤️ 14mo
BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts I have meant to read her other books ever since I read and loved the tagged book and am super glad I stumbled upon this one! 14mo
BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes Way too many 😀. I am so excited about the list that I forget to actually read 😂 14mo
squirrelbrain I‘m just the same @BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes - I spend far too long making exciting spreadsheets for lists that I forget to actually read the books. 🤪 I just finished Real Americans though. 14mo
BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain That doesn‘t surprise me at all 😉. Is Real Americans good? 14mo
sarahbarnes Yes @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB I‘m doing the same thing! 😆 14mo
