pickThe author of this book traveled to many different countries in order to speak with and interview people with unusual brain disorders. Like Sharon, whose world sometimes shifts and leaves her totally disoriented to the point where she gets lost. Or Graham, who was convinced he was dead. Or Joel, a doctor who feels the emotions of those around him and even physical sensations. The brain is a fascinating organ. Five stars.
Still no bingo🙁 Good reading month still. Maybe April, I'll finally get a bingo😏 ##bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Definitely not the *most* fun reading I could be doing, but here we are. I was diagnosed earlier this week with Hashimoto's disease and I found out yesterday that I also have Lupus. I'm not going to lie, I cried a little. I've been sick for years but never really taken seriously, so having answers is scary but good.
Anyway, I'm looking for all the resources because knowing the ins and outs comforts me. Any reading recs from reputable people?
pickI didn't realize Freida McFadden wrote funny books, until I came across this audiobook on Libby. It was a funny, light-hearted listen. While I did like it, it was a totally different book then what I am used to reading from her. 3⭐

pickA collection of the authors personal patients‘ stories for both their lives and deaths. The author is a hospice nurse who shares a special bond with her patients as she helps ease their pain as they near the end of their life. So many passages in this book had me on the verge of tears AND calling my mom to bawl my eyes out to her after reading about a mother and daughter interaction😭 tough read but shows how important hospice is for patients!
#TuesdayTunes I love it!
My current hyperfixation is the band First Aid Kit, two Swedish sisters who sing this achingly beautiful folk rock Americana music. Gorgeous harmonies, contemplative lyrics and lively arrangements make this album emotionally stimulating and just so fun to listen to.
Bonus points from this SoCal listener for their song “29 Palms Highway” 🤩

These books have been on my shelf for 6 and 4 years.
This is what motivated my 1:1 fiction:non-fiction challenge this year.
Time to move off the TBR shelf!
