Today has been expectedly full of Kempo, the Farmers Market, and cooking up this week's CSA bounty. I've listened to about 2 hours of the Words in the Dust audiobook and am enjoying it so far.

Hope to get some time to read for #24in48 this evening, though jam-making got pushed to after dinner because we were out of lemons.

Good morning #24in48 It's #readathon time 😍
I spent part of last night Browsing the book summaries on www.audiobooksync.com and have decided to start Words in the Dust by Trent Reedy as the audiobook for this very busy day

Finally made some progress on this one with lots of driving the last few days and intrigued as to where the story is yet to go.

Daisey Finished this today, and it turned out to have so many more layers and touched on more difficult topics than I originally expected. 8y

While I can't speak to the authenticity without doing some research, I can say that this story is more complex than I anticipated, and I find myself spending more time listening than I might with another, less engaging book at the same reading level. I'm invested in the story.

Daisey Just finished this today and agree that it is much more complex with different layers of story than I expected. It's my favorite so far of this year's sync audiobooks I've had a chance to listen to. 8y
kgriffith @Daisey Have you listened to I'll Give You the Sun yet? That's probably my favorite so far, with Egg & Spoon coming in not far behind. 8y
Daisey No, I haven't had a chance to listen to I'll Give You the Sun yet, but it might be next. 8y

Daisey @GlitterFemme Hope you enjoy it! I like it so far, but I've haven't made much progress due to incredibly busy time on the family farm. I might get through it on a long drive this weekend. 8y
