Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl: A Memoir | Carrie Brownstein

#HungryHeart #MarchIntothe70s
Have been a little stumped on these lately, including today's. And meanwhile, I'm in an audiobook desert where I'm weeks away from my next audio hold. Listening to the last @ReadingEnvy episode solved both problems when @Bianca reminded me I've waited far too long to read a book about one of my favorite bands of all-time. And somehow it was available wait-free on Overdrive- which never happens! @Lizpixie @Cinfhen

Cinfhen Like how this post was a heavily influenced #BlameItOnLitsy collaboration😉 (edited) 6y

Billypar @Cinfhen Totally: even before this post when a Sleater Kinney song came up on #NoFemmeber and both @Leftcoastzen and @saresmoore gave it strong recommendations. So yeah Litsy- I get it, I'm on it! 😋 6y

Leftcoastzen Yay ! I hope you love it.She‘s multidimensional and whip smart . 6y

ReadingEnvy Overdrive on audio I hope? I loved it so much. 6y

Billypar @ReadingEnvy Yes- on audio (which is even more surprising that it was available now). Just an hour in and I'm already hooked! 6y

gradcat @Cinfhen @Leftcoastzen @ReadingEnvy @Billypar Did any of you watch “Portlandia”? I loved her in that show. 6y

Billypar @gradcat Only a couple episodes. I remember one sketch where Corin Tucker made an appearance with Colin Meloy and James Mercer as members of a band called 'Echo Echo' 😁 6y

Leftcoastzen @gradcat I have seen a few seasons but not all of Portlandia, I love Portland!Carrie also directed episode 2 of Shrill on Hulu. 6y

gradcat @Leftcoastzen I don‘t know about “Shrill.” I have Hulu—is it really good? 6y

ReadingEnvy @gradcat yes! I'm from Oregon so it is a total nostalgia trip for me. And then the woman who was my high school classmate shows up in bit parts from time to time so that's fun too. Cacao! 6y

gradcat @ReadingEnvy That is so cool! I lived on the West Coast for years and never made it up to Oregon—one of my great regrets, alas. It looks beautiful!! 6y

I am Rosa Parks | Brad Meltzer

Florence almost always chooses a “Who Was” book for her bedtime story and Genevieve almost always chooses a Nat Geo book for her bedtime story. Tonight they BOTH chose Rosa Parks and earlier this week they both chose MLK. It gets a bit repetitive. 😆 But they have a #hungryheart for knowledge and justice and that makes me happy. #marchintothe70s

Reviewsbylola Both of my kids immediately walk in the door and strip. I don‘t get it—how are they never cold?! @Cinfhen 6y

Tamra @Reviewsbylola that‘s my son! 6y

Pamwurtzler My nephews (5 & 4) do the same thing. They‘re hilarious! 6y

Cinfhen I often wonder about that too. But my brother lives in NYC and those buildings blast that steam heat all winter long. Those apartments are infernos 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (edited) 6y

Hungry Heart: Adventures in Life, Love, and Writing | Jennifer Weiner

I had to do this one! I read this before I worked an author event at my library. I had never read anything by Jennifer Weiner but tried this based on a recommendation from @YummyLibrarian. I loved it and loved listening to and meeting Jennifer Weiner. Really great book! #hungryheart #marchintothe70s

Crow has a wife (Tess) and kid in Baltimore. He‘s annoying as hell, but he‘s too much of a mensch to take a ride and never look back. #hungryheart #marchintothe70s

Heart of Darkness | Conrad, Joseph

#marchintothe70s

(Day 21 - #HungryHeart)

The title of Springsteen‘s album with the song “Hungry Heart” is “The River.” The lyrics of the song include a passage about a river flowing who knows where (anyway, the singer doesn‘t, or so he claims). All of this makes me think of the overused metaphor of the river as journey, or life. Naturally, Conrad‘s novel comes to mind, but also both Coppola‘s and Herzog‘s movies.

Cinfhen, Lizpixie

Cathythoughts Great choice ♥️👍🏻 6y

gradcat @Cathythoughts Thank you for saying that...sometimes I get kind of out there with these songs! 😂 6y

Cinfhen I love that Springsteen album 6y

gradcat @Cinfhen 🥰 6y
