Alison is on page 188 of 357 of The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2018
There have been a few too-weird-for-me stories that have been slowing me down, but then there were two back-to-back winners, so, still trucking along in this one.

Alison is on page 60 of 320 of Helter Skelter
One of my staff members recommended this for the manga portion of the Read Harder Challenge. I've almost given up on it several times in the first 60 pages because I can't quite get the hang of the people and the dialogue bubbles and the scene jumps and the everything, but I am so intrigued by what I can glean of the plot that I'm sticking with it for now.

This story is so much weirder than I was expecting it to be. Thanks, Rachel, for picking it for book club!

Alison is on page 81 of 336 of Lost and Wanted
So far this book is almost exactly what I wanted from it when I forced, er, politely requested, er, demanded my BFF purchase it and then let me read it before her. :-D

When You Read This

Alison
Alison is starting The Personality Brokers: The Strange History of Myers-Briggs and the Birth of Personality Testing
Not sure if I'm just burnt out on audiobooks or if this book really is this boring, but I'm gonna let this one go for now.

Alison
Alison is starting Ohio
I've tried to get into this book a couple of times but it hasn't managed to catch my interest before it has to go back to the library for the millions of holds that I don't yet understand. I'll probably give it another try, because Ohio, but maybe in a future where I can keep the book longer. :)

Alison is 50% done with Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory
Absolutely fascinating, but there are some very disturbing things that you can't un-know in this first half.

Alison
Alison is starting The Yiddish Policemen's Union
Two and a half hours in and the narration is too lovely and soothing to pay any attention to. :( Going back to print for this re-read!

The Yiddish Policemen's Union

Alison
Alison is starting The Yiddish Policemen's Union
My first thoughts on listening to this audiobook -- where are all the young people with Yiddish accents? Where can I just go sit in a park and listen to twenty-year-olds talking like this?

Alison is 44% done with White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide
This book is going a lot faster than I thought it would, but it's also really dang depressing, so... glad I have another week to get it done for book club!

Alison is 60% done with Travels with Charley in Search of America (Penguin Audio Classics)
I'm switching back and forth between audio and print for this book, but it's not helping it be any more interesting. Would have DNFed long ago if it weren't for book club. Siiiiiigh.

Alison is 21% done with I Hate Everyone But You (I Hate Everyone But You, #1)
After a couple of very intense books, this is an amazing happy fun thing in my life. It is possible these girls secretly went to college with me, or secretly are me.

Well. That second story has left me with a lot of feels. I'll be over here contemplating them for the next year or so...

I don't think I've been this reluctant to continue reading a book club book in ages. Someone tell me it gets better than the first chapter?

Not done yet, but I'm already sure this is more than worth your $0 at Audible. Go get it!
