Wow! This #audio was so good that I walked farther than usual to keep listening and then finished my LEGO Christmas gift while finishing it. Complicated coworkers, many dealing with significant personal challenges, trying to just make it through at a difficult corporate organization. Surprisingly funny, especially for a former cubicle worker, this made me laugh out loud often and cry real tears too. So good! Makes it 241 for the year :)

Texreader Love your Lego!! 2d

This fascinating piece of non fiction was a deeply researched exploration of the intersection of faith, culture, and politics. It made me think about the assumptions our society makes about religion and shines a light on the complex and often corrupt history and values of white evangelicalism. Really compelling on #audio . #BookspinBingo

Soscha Have you ever listened to Public Enemy, the rap group, “Fight the Power”? Gots a lyric about John Wayne, searing stuff. I‘ve said this before but tis true. I grew up in uber-White small town Iowa. “Fear of a Black Planet” was my entré & education on race & racism. 3d

Excited to start this #Audio. I loved the other book (Family Experiment) that I had listened to, and I was told it‘s the same world :) #AudioGaming

Playing my Switch while I listen ♥️♥️♥️

CBee @bookandbedandtea I loved both but The Passengers really stuck with me 😅 4d
bookandbedandtea @CBee Right?! I feel that lawmakers and R&D teams at tech companies should be required to read The Passengers. 😬 4d

Delightful and funny with really clever banter, this was a great enemies to lovers romance with a good bit of mystery thrown in. I went into it pretty blind so I won‘t say much but so good on #audio ! Loved these characters and would enjoy seeing them again! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Such a fun holiday rom-com!! Mystery writer Maggie has had a hard time lately after her marriage falls apart. A mysterious invitation from her editor for a trip over the holidays should be a great distraction— except her writer nemesis, Ethan, shows up on the private plane! With a locked room mystery, enemies to lovers and great banter, this is a light hearted and quick read perfect for the season! I appreciated the Agatha Christie inspiration!

Dark, twisty Christmas thriller that was short, surprising, and great on #audio. If you like a dark English Manor, rich families who are awful, and a good twist, this may be the holiday book for you. Really enjoyed this one! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is the funniest dark romance ever. Definitely lots of content warnings but the characters are also wickedly funny! Spicy for sure and not for the faint of heart! Not sure I would have kept reading but the #audio was fantastic! I would listen to the male narrator read just about anything. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

My #NovemberReCap - I didn't read as much. I've been super bad with headaches and just sheer exhaustion. School started again, and I am taking two pretty tough classes (which I might have done one at a time instead). Anyway, I put a lot of #Audio on my December List.

Thoughtful and poetic, a love letter to earth while questioning humankind‘s ability to take care of her. Seeing the world through the eyes of various astronauts and a cosmonaut from varying backgrounds was really illuminating and quite different from anything I‘ve ever read. Great on #audio! I will be thinking about this one for a while! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Tamra I‘m still thinking about it (listened to the audio), enough to buy my husband a hard copy for Xmas. 😁 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 1mo
Julsmarshall Love that, @Tamara ! Thanks, @TheAromaofBooks ! 1mo
