I like to write down my favorite quotes when I listen to audiobooks. I love this part of Dune.

I watched the first half of The Fellowship of the Ring last night. I think I need to read these books.

“It‘s just—a way to go. There isn‘t only one way to go.” I waved at his notes. “You‘re trying to find a road where there isn‘t one. It‘s like—it‘s gleaning in the woods,” I said abruptly. “You have to pick your way through the thickets and the trees, and it‘s different every time.”

I'm looooving Uprooted so far. Such an interesting take on witches and magic.

While I loved being able to listen to this story in Neil's voice, I think I missed a lot by not reading his words on the page. I like the gist of the story, but I feel like I'm missing something. I may come back to it at a later time.

RebeccaRenner I just started reading this. I wonder if I'll love it or be a crust curmudgeon about it. 🤔 8y

Hearing Chantel read from The Distant Marvels was such a treat. I'm still in awe about getting to work with her.

Underneath this veneer of slightly crazy and mildly socially retarded, I'm a complete disaster.

RebeccaRenner Am I crazy, or was her fiction writing professor a small, female version of Mark? 8y
lissyreads @BeckyRenner I need to reread this book with that in mind. Project before Mexico. 8y

I really loved this book. Cassie's story is so important and it was beautifully told. Kerry Kletter's debut is a masterpiece and I can't wait to read more from her.

I started listening to Amanda Palmer's audiobook so, of course, I had to watch her Ted Talk. I'm only about an hour in and I already love it so much. I'm feeling inspired 📖🙌🏼
