I just realized something. The reason this book didn‘t help me is because I already know how to be happy. If I get sad, I know how to cheer myself up. Sometimes, you don‘t have to read a book if you know what to do. I feel like this book said a lot of things that I already knew like the fact that you have to pursue joy and that you‘ll be happier if you have friends because we all need each other.
bailedHere‘s my review for a book I just DNF‘d. I‘m counting this book for #bookspinbingo as a DNF and I‘m getting this one off of my physical TBR. I‘m donating the physical book to Goodwill. Maybe someone else will get more out of reading it than I did.
I made more progress in this book today when I was walking with my dog at the dog park. I only listened to 1 chapter but I skipped some of it when he started telling stories about himself. I only want to listen to 3 preachers tell stories while they‘re preaching: Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer and Steven Furtick but that‘s because I like how they tell stories. I don‘t like the way this guy tells stories.
I made more progress in this book and I figured out that I can fast forward if I find myself getting bored and wanting to skim. I was listening to a chapter in this book. I like the parts where he‘s preaching but when he‘s telling stories about himself, I find it boring. Every time he started telling a story, I skipped ahead to the Bible verses and I didn‘t feel like I missed very much so I‘m going to keep doing that.
Here‘s how I did on the #20in4 readathon that was from 5/31/24-6/3/24. I finished a book I started as a mood read last month for #readyourkindle and I started the tagged book from my #bookspinbingo list for this month. I‘m not going to finish the tagged book before the readathon ends but at least I‘ve started it.
I just started this book. It‘s interesting so far. I just realized that I recognize the narrator‘s voice because I heard him on Christian radio a long time ago. Every time the radio went to commercial break, a segment from a Christian organization called Focus On The Family came on and it was always his voice that I heard. I searched on Facebook‘s AI program and it said that he has worked with Focus On The Family. That‘s why I recognize his voice.
Here‘s my #bookspin picks for this month since the numbers were drawn. #17 is a nonfiction book about joy and laughing. I hope it will be encouraging and make me laugh. The book I‘m currently reading is very depressing. #6 is The Stockbroker‘s Clerk by Arthur Conan Doyle which is the third story I‘ll be reading for the #noplacelikeholmes readalong. I‘ve been enjoying hanging out with Holmes and Watson.

In March, these were my #bookspin and #doublespin picks. Book 2 was my #bookspin pick and Book 17 was my #doublespin pick. I DNF‘d my #bookspin pick but I didn‘t read my #doublespin pick so I‘ve added it to my list again this month.
Soubhi, it has arrived! And what a stack! Thank you! So excited to open these soon. And I‘m about to read your letter. I love the little dachshund stickers on the back of it. 😍
The books I ordered for you have also arrived, so I plan to ship out to you the day after Christmas in NC. I don‘t want to miss you in Texas and this way it‘s one less thing for you to haul. Best of luck with the drive.
