I found it easier as an audio book. I started out not liking it and by the time I finished I enjoyed the book. The writing style was an adjustment for sure but I’d read another one like it

Have you seen the new predator trailer they are diffinitely going in a similar direction

View of mt Washington before thunder storms are predicted. Black mt to the right where there is a few little ski slopes. Everything is lush and green with little evidence of the continual building I. Surrounding areas

Nice view of Mt Washington with Black Mt off to the right.

It’s so much fun to read books written by ppl who are passionate about what they are writing

I just finished killing me by Michelle Gagnon it was entertaining.

Thanks I will Libby has one more audio book!

It was hilarious to learn that the Oneida company was founded by a sex cult

My pleasant surprise of the month was stumbling upon this audio book while searching for another Stephen King novel.
This book is humorous and super informative in a slightly macabre way.
Do yourself a favor pick this book up give it a try and learn a little bit about US history.

Thanks put it on my to read list! Heavy books are usually the most compelling for sure. The bean trees made me cry when I was a kid but it still sticks with me.

I read the outsiders in school probably should reread it. I kinda remember ponyboy

PKD is one of my favorites he has such a different approach to sci-fi and a lot of his works have been turned into movies and tv shows

I’ll read anything really. The Recs I enjoy the most are ppls 5 star books / books they reread. That’s how I found the 2 I mentioned

My favorite book this month was Dr sleep by Stephen King. I’ve watched the movie but there is just so much more in the book. I was captivated from start to finish.

Light from uncommon stars by Ryka Aoki was a different perspective that I read this month. This is how you lose the time war may be considered flowery it was a style of writing that took a sec to get used to, I found the book moving.

Have you tried any Philip k Dick? Do androids dream of electric sheep was adapted into the movie blade runner.
Ubik, flow my tears, and the 3 stigmata of Palmer Elderitch are my favs.
Also Ray Bradbury Martian chronicles.

The things I like most about my job are seeing a bunch of funky little houses, great views and seeing wealthy ppls houses.
This is the second house that’s been perched on a cliff.

Book cover of Immune by Philipp Dettmer. Picture are different small cell organisms

#nonfiction #booksky Immune is a great nonfiction book that helps the average person understand the immune system.
It’s kinda wild how we hope for all these magical vitamins and supplements to make us healthy but in reality the biggest thing you can do is eat better .

In audio A brief history of time and Light from uncommon stars. In print This book is gay.

Just finished Doctor Sleep by Stephen King and wow was it a great book! A wonderful sequel to The Shining.
i’ve watched every movie adaption ever made, but reading his books and seeing the towns i grew up in mentioned brings me back to my 10y self watching horror flix in the dark with my friends. 💙📚

Cover photo of book “birdseye; the adventures of a curious man“ by Mark Kurlansky . Picture is a man in furs standing a top a pile of frozen vegetables.

Birdseye is a super quick non fiction if you want something different.
Birdseye was an interesting man, inventor , naturalist & outdoorsman.
Thinking this book was just about the invention of fast frozen food & home freezers I was pleasantly surprised it was much more. #book sky #nonfiction

I had no idea what it was about when I started it as well. I really enjoyed it , it is a good book!

Cover shot of nonfiction book “ medicine river : a story of survival and the legacy of Indian boarding schools“ this was an difficult read but essential read. The horrors that were perpetrated on our native people is shameful. This book helps to bring to light the continual effort of christian religion and the American government to eradicate native people and culture.

Medicine river is an essential read . Where Bury my heart at wounded knee educated me on the dishonesty and geonocidal treatment of Native American ppl by the US government this book shed light on the disgraceful part christian religion. #audiobook #booksky #nonfiction

I just put this on hold on Libby 17wk wait but I’m looking forward to it. Last year I finished bury my heart at wounded knee

Book cover “Nav’s foolproof guide to falling in love” by Jessica Lewis

Nav’s foolproof guide to falling in love is a refreshing is ya rom com.
I loved the characters and their journey and how emotion seems to flow off the page.
It came in today and I couldn’t put it down.
I can’t wait for @jessicalewisauthor.bsky.social next book! 5🌟 #booksky 🌶️📚

This book is a great illustration of the difficulties women have faced in the past, while money can make somethings easier women were rarely taken seriously. #audiobook #booksky

Book cover “Hedy’s folly” by Richard Rhodes . Pictured is Hedy Lamarr in iconic movie star grab on top of a torpedo

Just finished Hedy’s folly by Richard Rhodes a short audio book about Hedy Lamarr and her contributions to the war effort.
I enjoyed this book. It is unfortunate that she was taken all that seriously because of her beauty but at least in the end her contributions were recognized.

“Anyone can be pretty, you just need to stand still and look stupid” Hedy Lamarr

I prefer show or movie first that way I can appreciate it because the book is almost always superior.
