Posting a day late... Oops! 🤦‍♀️

I was not really sure what this prompt meant 🤷‍♀️ so after asking some other Littens, I went with a book that my co-workers have been nagging me to read!
And they were right! This book was fantastic. I loved the audio version, read by Tom Hanks, and the brother sister bond in the story was captured beautifully..... 💕

Caveat: I have to do this on my cell phone, because we are without internet after Hurricane Laura came through. I cannot upload a photo of the book, and I cannot see very well using my phone, so this will be short. As in introvert myself, I really couldn‘t relate to the mission of the author. I had read the book “Quiet,” by Susan Cain, and loved it. This is not that book. Jessica Pan‘s goal ⬇️

gradcat ⬆️ (cont) is to make new friends, a circle of friends, in fact, whereas I, as an introvert, so love being alone that I‘m really not interested in going out and looking for new friends. I value my quiet time way too much—which is exactly why I didn‘t like this book—it‘s message is not aimed at me. ♥️👩🏻‍🎓🐱 4y

KathyWheeler I loved Quiet too and could not finish this book. It didn‘t keep me interested. I hope everything gets back to relative normality for you soon. (edited) 4y
gradcat @kspenmoll & @Prairiegirl_reading I am okay, and my family is also. We were relatively unscathed, just lots & lots & LOTS of branches down...we have a pool that I fear will never be clean again. We only lost the internet, which is strange, but I am able to use my cell—go figure. Anyway, thank you both for thinking of me. I fear for the Littens I the southwestern part of my state... I hope they are all okay. 🙏 ♥️ 😞 4y
gradcat @KathyWheeler It sounds like you & I had the exact same reaction to this book!! 😂🤣♥️ 4y
