What I meant was … the section explaining what your subconscious mind might be telling you through certain self-sabotaging behaviors.,

I’m reading the audiobook and the section explaining self-sabotage is GOLD!

Rereading October 2022.
I’ll probably reread for the rest of my human experience. 💜

Time for another reread. I’m hungry for this book. 8-12-2022

A book that defines summertime … I’m ready

Halfway through chapter 3 and Will has me hard crying.

This book is made for me. Really looking forward to it!

Ok, I take back my initial remark. I 100% believe in early childhood trauma.

I’ll give it a try, but it might be too “negative based” in the style of Brene Brown, which is not my cup of tea.
Love,

I knew I would love and savor this book when the dedication made me cry!

This one may be a little too “rootin’ tootin’ Texan” for me to finish. Describing characters by how much they weigh is also awful. Doesn’t hold my attention. I’ll try to start over for the third time, but this might be a DNF.

Giving this important book another read. It opened my eyes as a teenager.

I’m only 14% into the audiobook and I already know this will get a 5 star rating. I’ve listened to the chapter entitled “Microbial You” three times. I enjoy Bill Bryson’s writing so much! He really researched this one. Great book!

I’m not a fan of Zillow, so I can’t imagine I’ll love this book, but I consider it “professional reading,” to which I am absolutely committed.

💜Perfection💜

I’m so excited to start this! I’ve been on hold for it forever!

I have this one on audiobook and I’m trying to get past her cutesy baby voice to gain value.

I’m about 3/4 of the way through this book. I always enjoy books by Dr. Sacks. The brain fascinates both of us.

“ ... Mania is a biological condition that feels like a psychological one (a state of mind) ... The mind falls in love with psychosis ... “

Darn you, Oliver Sacks! I love my mania and I work hard on balancing it. It gets things done!

I’m really looking forward to this book.

Well, I’m finally going to give this a shot even though I’ve heard it’s badly written.

I love this author. I used to read his books (held in my hands), but now I prefer his audiobooks so I can hear his wonderful voice. I live for his tales of having been a maid, and his impression of Billie Holiday. This book is good for me — I’m barely into it and I’ve already burst out laughing several times. 💜🌟

Pretty awful, so far. So much complaining.

Ok. I’m giving this author another chance. Wish me luck.

I’m only a few chapters into this book, but it is great! Lots of reaffirming things I know, but with a completely fresh twist! I can already tell that I’ll read this one at least three times.

I’m almost halfway through and this book is AWFUL. I refuse to quit. This is torture.

I’ve read this before, but it’s time for the absolute treat of the author reading to me on audiobook. I love this book.

I’m maybe 1/4 into this book. At least it’s different from the pattern she had in several of her other books. I wish I had read the description before I started. I might have skipped this one. Not that it’s horrible, but it has a religion theme and I’m generally not fond of that.

Just starting this book written in 1993 today in 2018.

Just a few chapters in, and this is riveting!

I’m finally ready to move on from Homegoing (I read it through one more time — four times in total?) to what I hope is also an outstanding book. Here I go ...
