Probably the most useful book I'll read this year. Yeah, I'm old. But it's great information to really believe that you're not going insane. #16-2025

julieclair I like the way you structured your #Roll100 list… “any”. 3d

DebinHawaii @julieclair I did some of it last year & did the whole thing that way this year. It really works well for my mood reading! 😉 3d

Using Kindle: A Complete Guide to Amazon's Revolutionary Wireless Reading Devices (Kindle DX, Kindle 2) | Jim Cheshire

Here‘s my #readyourkindle picks for March. #16 is a mood read, #14 is a mood read, #19 is Kindle Unlimited and #1 is #roll100. Basically, I can choose whatever books I want for these prompts except for #roll100. I have 1 book that I started last month from my #roll100 list. If I get finished with it this month then I‘ll add it on here. It‘s taking awhile to read because it‘s a nonfiction book you journal along with.

so-so

Interesting story, but I didn‘t like how jumped back and forth between timelines and characters- it didn‘t feel organized. The fire at the end made me so sad. I don‘t trust authors who kill animals in their books. Book #16 in 2025

mcctrish Did I miss a chapter ? I thought today was #16 I just read about the dr saying no more visitors and learning about who the ‘friend‘ is, not a friend, just a fan #goodgrief 1mo

mcctrish I‘m not a fan of the dr 1mo

CogsOfEncouragement I thought handing Esther the newspaper articles was messed up, but I also thought it was an interesting way to tell us what happened when we have been relying on Esther to give us the scoop. 1mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish ugh did I misnumber?!? 1mo

dabbe I totally see the doctor differently. Esther's mom views everything Esther does as a rebuke against her, which makes Esther feel alienated from the one woman who should serve as her guide into adulthood. When Doctor Nolan realizes that seeing her mother and others only harms Esther and ends the visits, to me she becomes a mother figure to Esther—one who is warmer and more accepting of Esther's conflicts than Esther's real mother. ⬇️ 1mo

dabbe Though this may seem cruel to Mrs. Greenwood, it seems to be a necessary step toward Esther's recovery and is evidenced by how relieved Esther is by the doctor's choice. Somebody finally noticed what she needed and willingly gave it to Esther. 1mo

mcctrish @dabbe oh I totally think the mom should be banned, Esther doesn‘t need to explain to her why she feels the way she does ( as if she could) I‘m mad at the dr for springing the electric shocks on Esther - I don‘t feel they are on the same page with how “I will let you know if and when we go that route” plays out 1mo

dabbe @mcctrish Is Esther in for more electric shock treatment? I've only read to Ch. 16, so my thoughts were based on that. I guess my views will change with Ch. 17. #ruhroh 1mo

mcctrish @dabbe I‘m mixed up with the chapters 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1mo

dabbe @mcctrish Easy to do; they flow quickly in this one. 🤗 I might even finish tonight. 🤞🏻 1mo

Bookwormjillk Ok yeah now I don‘t like that doctor anymore. 1mo

ElizaMarie So, #InTheDoctorsDefense I get why she didn't tell her the night before. I think Esther should have a say in if/when she gets shock treatment, but.. in this world/time/hospital she doesn't, so telling her and letting her freak out about it all night could have caused her to hurt herself, whereas springing it on her, is a bit more kind (in a - kind even though we are subjecting you to a treatment you don't consent to kind of way) 1mo

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie good point! This is one of those situations where you can‘t really win! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @ElizaMarie That‘s fair, but I‘m still pretty mad at the doctor, because as I see it she broke her promise. She told Esther, but not until Esther had figured it out herself. She should have given her a few days of warning. 1mo

The Celtic Twilight | William Butler Yeats

pick

Book #16 of 2024: “The Celtic Twilight” by WB Yeats

This had a few poems but was mostly stories about the Sidhe collected from Irish people across the country. I‘ll come back to it again later when I have time to do some more research into the people, places, and legends referenced. And, maybe, take a trip to all the places Yeats identifies as doors to the dim world.
