pickListen to the audio! Such an emotional roller coaster ride is this woman‘s life. I felt a lot of truth and vulnerability throughout the book and felt connected. I love an audiobook read by the author, especially a memoir. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Unfortunately, this #ImpulseRead just couldn‘t keep my attention, regardless of the subject. I‘m not opposed to revisiting in the future.

Read 60 pages of ‘The Swap‘ late last night. A 2019 ARC from a GR giveaway - so long overdue🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ This afternoon is full of #Audiocleaning with ‘Out Came the Sun‘ followed by some colouring & reading for self-care.
pickOnce a builder and a family man, Tom Lowe Jr finds himself approaching rock bottom after falling from a roof. Unable to work, Tom lost his wife and his son as he spiraled into addiction and has crash landed in subsidized housing feeling angry and useless. When the bottom rises up to meet him, Tom…bounces. With his eyes opened to the people around him, he begins to learn to play the hand he was dealt. ⬇️
pickThis novel took me on an unexpected journey through the life of Tom Lowe. Dubus‘ narrative style of gradually revealing Tom‘s character— the man he was, the man he has become, and the man he wants to be— kept me engaged in the story.

so-soTold be a comedian, this book tells Kasher‘s addiction at 13, his life as a middle school dropout and “right turn”. I‘d like about 50 less pages of his debauchery (we got it) and 50 more pages of his evolution to recovery. Entertaining, and funny at times.
My favorite 12 fiction books of 2024. The tagged book was my favorite of the year (I slacked off on completing most of my book reviews for the last few months, I need to try to fill them in)
so-soI suspect this book was intended to be about friendship with a look into addiction as a mere subplot. Perhaps more broadly, it told the story of intense people who pour their whole selves into what they do, be it their sport, their profession, or their relationships. I read it, however, as a book about loneliness. The author, Abraham Verghese, wrote himself into this book. Surprisingly, to me, he was the most lonely character of all.
