PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives | Frank Warren

pick

I don't know why I find it fascinating to read other people's secrets on postcards. Probably because when I was a kid and was in the car, I always looked at people's houses and wondered what they were doing. As usual, the book is full of postcards with secrets and some emails. Loved them all and just love the series all together.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I loved this too. I think it‘s the opposite of online social media, where you think everyone has a perfect curated life except you. This shows that everyone has their secrets too…which is more human & real & social I think. 🤷‍♀️ 2mo

Cheshirecat913 I always checked out that website back in the early 2000s and remember having the first book. I liked reading them and seeing if it was something I could relate too or just something crazy. 2mo

Kitta I loved post secret. I used to religious check the website! Some of them still stick with me. Especially the one with the quote « you accept the love you think you deserve » oof that hits so hard. 2mo

As usual, another great collection of postcards with secrets. A few emails but mostly postcards. Just very emotional to read them.

The National Parks: America's Best Idea : an Illustrated History | Dayton Duncan

This was the sign I marched with on Saturday (picture taken before I attached two sticks for handles). There are SO MANY issues, but this was the best sign idea I had. Possibly because some of my favorite memories are from Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Acadia. 💚

Whoa 😳. I need some help!
In burning down other “piles” of audiobooks, I‘ve racked up 19 credits (😯) on Libro.fm.

I need recs, please 🙂
I know these credits don‘t expire. But I want to reduce this number by at least half.

So hit me - what do I need to listen to rather than read? I‘m open to all genres, and audiobooks account for close to half my reading.

Please and thank you 🙏🏻😊♥️

AlaMich If you like a bit of urban fantasy, The Stranger Times series has an amazing narrator.

AlaMich Or the Rivers of London series. Another great narrator.

Sweettartlaura @AlaMich thanks! Not familiar with either - I‘ll check them both out! 8mo

TheKidUpstairs If you're interested in music memoirs, I really enjoyed listening to Neneh Cherry's A Thousand Threads, and Kathleen Hanna's Rebel Girl.

Fiction that worked really well for me on audio (and I usually don't love listening to fiction): Megan Nolan's Ordinary Human Failings, and Claire Kilroy's Soldier Sailor
(edited) 8mo

TheKidUpstairs Other Non-Fiction and Memoirs that I loved on audio: Judi Dench's Shakespeare: the Man Who Pays the Rent (it is not Judi who narrates, but it is beautifully done), Fern Brady's Strong Female Characters, John Vaillant's Fire Season, Minnie Driver's Managing Expectations, and either of the books by Amber Ruffin and Lacey Lamar 8mo

Sweettartlaura @TheKidUpstairs I listened to Kathleen Hanna‘s memoir - I liked it! Not sure i‘m connected Neneh Cherry enough to connect to her the same way, but I‘ll look into it - thanks! And I‘ll check out the rest, too - I‘ve been meaning to get to Amber Ruffin‘s stuff for a while - this might be my prompt to put that up top of the list 👍🏻 8mo

Here‘s my #top24of24! I read some great books this year, including some new releases, classics I‘d had on my TBR for a long time, and a few that had been sitting on my shelf. Overall a good reading year. 📚

BarbaraBB

Megabooks The Safekeep was so good! Nice list!! 10mo

squirrelbrain We have quite a few the same - and I had Bird Hearts and Flamingo on previous years‘ lists! 10mo

TrishB Great list 👍🏻 10mo

See All 23 Comments

Tamra We have 3 in common. 😁 Clear, History of Sound, and North Woods. 10mo

BarbaraBB It‘s almost scary, I agree on so many… I have All Fours, The Safekeep and History of Sound on this year‘s list too. Remains, Garden of Evening Mist, Fingersmith, Little Friend, Burgess Boys, Moon Tiger and Little Birds are all time favorites of mine. ⬇️ 10mo

BarbaraBB Also, I loved Flamingo, The Wall, Clear, What I‘d rather not Think About, Kids run the Show, Ordinary Failings, Margo and North Woods!! So I need to read the ones I haven‘t yet: Noopiming, Days Work, Get in Trouble, Brief Lives and of course Intermezzo 👯🤍 (edited) 10mo

sarahbarnes @BarbaraBB so crazy how similar our reading has been! I will say your list has inspired me to read more crime noir this year - I‘m interested in the ones you listed! 📚 10mo

sarahbarnes @Tamra I just saw your list! So fun to see all the similarities! 😊 10mo

sarahbarnes @squirrelbrain ah I just saw you posted your list! 10mo

sarahbarnes @Megabooks so good!! Thank you! 10mo

sarahbarnes @TrishB ♥️♥️ 10mo

youneverarrived So many great books here 🤍 I love Sarah Waters! I bought the Safekeep the other day so I think that will be one of my first reads of the new year. 10mo

sarahbarnes @youneverarrived that sounds like a great plan. You‘re in for a wonderful read. 🩵 10mo

kspenmoll Some of these books are up for me this 2025- I get the best book ideas from everyone‘s #Top24of24 (edited) 10mo

Suet624 Hahaha. Each book I saw listed I‘d say “yup, so good”. I haven‘t read every one on your list but close enough. It‘s been a great reading year for both of us! 10mo

sarahbarnes @kspenmoll I agree! It‘s always so fun to look at the lists and add to my TBR! 10mo

sarahbarnes @Suet624 too funny - I feel like we‘ve definitely both read some great books this year! I‘ve definitely gotten some recommendations from you. 10mo

Lesliereadsalot So many good ones on there! 10mo

Cathythoughts Taking a screenshot to investigate further 👍🏻😁 10mo

Centique I love so many books on your list! So glad to see Garden of Evening Mist, Remains of the Day and Moon Tiger are there 😍 and North Woods is probably my favourite of the year. 10mo

JuniperWilde I have Noopiming on my TBR. I‘ve been waiting for the right moment to start it. Your list has prompted me to put it top of my list for ‘25. 10mo

sarahbarnes @JuniperWilde it really is so good. I hope you enjoy it! 10mo

sarahbarnes @Centique @Lesliereadsalot @Cathythoughts here‘s to another great reading year! ♥️♥️ 10mo
