Good Night's Sleep | Jack Follman

1. Pretty well. Not sick anymore.
2. Well except multiple bathroom trips. 🙄
3. I like to listen to slow calm audio book readers or sleep stories on the Calm app such as Matthew McConaughey.

MemoirsForMe Oh yes, those many bathroom trips keep me up too! 😁☺️🫢 4d
Teresereading I love MM's Calm story though my current favourite in the sheep story 3d

The Book Woman's Daughter | Kim Michele Richardson

4 ⭐
Led me down a lot of rabbit trails and taught me about my father's childhood.

LoverOfLearning I was gonna read this sequal. But it seemed so similar to book 1. I needed a change of pace. Loved the first one though! Was great for a bookclub discussion! 4d
LoverOfLearning Did your father grow up in the Appalachian area? 4d
Blueberry @LoverOfLearning He grew up in KY during this time period but a little more west. I think his mother was from the Appalachia side. I wish he was still alive so I could ask him more. I read the first book a few years ago (also for bookclub😄). I think they are different enough to still enjoy. This one was not as much about being a pack librarian but more about the young girl's difficulties being Blue. 4d

LoverOfLearning @Blueberry Thanks for the info! It's definitely still on my tbr! 4d
LoverOfLearning @Blueberry so interesting! I hope one day you get to learn more about their histories :) would be a fun but long project to start! 4d
CoverToCoverGirl I had no idea about blue people until this book. It sent me searching for more information. I recommend this book to everyone and no one I have ever spoken to has either until I mention this book. 4d

1. I was doing well then volunteered at an event last night and dissociated. Too many people trying to run the class. Left early.
2. Grounding techniques (smell, hear, see, feel), meditations on the Calm app, reading a book somewhere can see trees.
3. Bibliotherapy

@Kerrbearlib

Kerrbearlib Sorry to hear things got hectic at the volunteer event. I've been to events like that and become overwhelmed by all the people trying to run things. I hope today was better for you! Grounding techniques help me, too. I need to use them more. Bibliotherapy is a great future topic! Thanks for sharing and responding! 1w
