The School of Mirrors: A Novel | 
It doesn‘t look like much but I have gardened like a maniac all afternoon. I weeded, edged a giant swath of garden and planted all my new for the backyard plants. Thank heavens for audio books 🙏🏻❤️ I was so engrossed in this story I didn‘t care that I was exhausted and I have to work tomorrow 🤣🤣 this book was a “Top 5 Books With Buzz”on an Amazon list I saw and my library had it 🎉 it‘s interesting to pair with Wolf Hall #literarycrew
Librarybelle What a great recommendation! It‘s going to read a lot different than Wolf Hall 😂 3d
mcctrish @Librarybelle it is SO DIFFERENT 😆😱 3d
PurpleyPumpkin Great job on the gardening! I still have a lot of garden cleanup to do. 😅 As this book is next on my list, maybe I‘ll follow your lead and start listening to it while digging in the dirt this weekend!👍🏽 3d

mcctrish @PurpleyPumpkin I am afraid the gardening will never be done 🤣🤣 I still have another side to edge and weed ( not as bad as the 2 I did today) plus plant the plants still waiting to go in one of my front gardens that I ripped a dead burning bush out of a few weeks ago THEN I need to get my veggie garden up and running 3d
mcctrish @Librarybelle and it‘s the May read 🤦🏻♀️ 3d
Librarybelle 😁 I just got my copy from the library! 3d
mcctrish @Librarybelle it‘s 17 hours on audio so it must be a chunkster! I love it even if I‘m screaming inside at how women and children are treated 3d
Librarybelle The edition I got from the library, paperback, is a little over 400 pages. 2d
Suet624 Nice work on the garden. I need to do this and I‘m dreading it. 2d
mcctrish @Librarybelle obviously I‘m not a good job of text to audio 🤣🤣 2d
mcctrish @Suet624 the start of the season is WORK 2d
Librarybelle I wouldn‘t say that. I think a lot depends too on the reader‘s speed and the language used. I didn‘t look at the print size, either, so it may be small. In comparison, the Outlander series - which is at least 800 pages for most of them - is 40-48 hours long. So, I think you‘re fine in your estimation! Also, cozy mysteries are about 300 pages, and some of these are read in about 8 hours…it‘s fun to figure these things out! 2d
PurpleyPumpkin Wow that‘s a lot of gardening! 😳 And then when you finally complete it, you‘ll probably have to go back to the beginning and start weeding all over again! At least that‘s what I end up doing. You‘re right, it never really ends. 😜 2d
Tamra Despite the work, it looks lovely! I am so envious you can have such a pretty garden. We have too many deer & rabbits …… chomp chomp….. 2d
mcctrish @PurpleyPumpkin oh absolutely!! There‘s a lot of rainy days in the forecast for the next week so the weeds will be popping as fast as I pull them 😫 2d
Ruthiella It looks beautiful. I spent four hours last Sunday attacking the backyard with a weed eater and made sure to take a before and after picture because it doesn‘t look that great until you compare it to how it looked before! 😆 2d
mcctrish @Ruthiella before and after pics are important for mental health 🤣🤣 2d
julieclair It looks lovely! And I can‘t wait to start this book! 2d
mcctrish @julieclair despite feeling broken this morning from my garden work out 😆 I‘m so sad I have to go to work and I can‘t listen all day again 2d
julieclair @mcctrish I hope you can haul your broken body home at the end of the day, plug in your headphones, and do some serious audio-resting. 🤞😘 2d
