Ghosts of Fourth Street: My Family, a Death, and the Hills of Duluth:

of
Ghosts of Fourth Street: My Family, a Death, and the Hills of Duluth:
"I read "Ghosts of Fourth Street" with eager anticipation, drawn by the chance to revisit a neighborhood I, too, cherished in my youth. While the setting was immediately familiar and a pleasure to reconnect with, it was the story of the Hertzel family"

"You will fall in love with the smart, observant, plucky little narrator whose observations and memories block by block, build a towering, complex family that come tumbling down at the death of her oldest brother."

This is because (a) i have way too many to read, and (b) if they're lousy or mediocre or simply not captivating, I stop reading them. Never did that before this job, but now my time is too stretched. So I'd rather not reveal which those are that don't make the cut.

You're like me - you don't bother to mark books as 'to read.' I only put books I've finished or on rare occasions 'currently reading.'
Yeah, I just moved from the 'old school' phone to a new school one recently - too recently to take advantage of the Goodreads app to scan in the bulk of my reading history. I just thought I'd throw that out there. Looking forward to seeing your books once you get them in there. Goodreads makes a fancy Venn diagram of book overlap between friends, it's quite interesting!
hahahah you are assuming i have a smart phone. i have a dumb phone. pretty much all it does reliably is text.
You know, there is a feature on the smartphone app where you can use the barcodes on the books in your house to quickly scan in your collection. Don't know if that helps you.
