5:08:42 Chapter 20 - There's a political hiccup but other than that the story is not bad.

3:38:10 Chapter 15 - The plot is interesting but something about the narration is putting me to sleep.

6:16:15 [Chapter] 9 HEAVY METAL HIGHWAYS Land Yachts, Station Wagons, and “The Thing” - This book is the perfect mix of historical information with a heavy dose of nostalgia.

1:08:09 Chapter 2 The Great and Powerful Jeff! Wanna Know Who You're Playing For? - I definitely should have gotten the ebook, but I'm going to rock with this audiobook it's pretty entertaining.

1:17:45 [Chapter] 3 HEY, WHERE’S EVERYBODY GOING? Americans Set Off to Discover America - This was very informative and humorous.

[Chapter] 32 BEACON, 1998 - I was going to finish, but I decided to be good and wait.

Page 26 (+47) of 208 Chapter 2 Who Are These People? Our Homes and Triflin’ Families - I almost DNF. I still might. I was expecting this to be informative but it seems to be mostly ranting. I don't know if I'm too young or too mature for this, maybe both, but the information on workplace protections for menopause is the main reason I continued. Hopefully there are more nuggets that I can store in my important but use

1:42:00 Chapter 8: Connor - I don't recall requesting this book, but when it showed up, I assumed it was YA. It turns out it's not YA, but it still reads like YA, and I need a break from the cheese.

Chapter Thirteen - Megan - So sweet doesn't mean clean or PG-13. I was expecting naked grandma to be put from the script, but I guess not. I'm now guessing only the details of BJs will be cut. This story is better written and the wedding budget has doubled.

Page 56 of 291 [Chapter] 9 - It's not bad but if I had read the blurb beforehand I probably would have skipped this one. Cancer and old age are topics I typically avoid.

Page 98 of 361 Chapter Eight Megan - This is like watching a movie on video after seeing in theaters, but it's the director's cut.

Page 59 of 379 CHAPTER SIX - I am starting to think that a lot of these books are just different infidelity tropes, but I'm sticking with it

Before Frankie September 8 - okay I thought I had this one figure it out early on but now I am nearly completely in the dark about what's going on and I'll have to wait for everything to be revealed.

Page 35 of 204 Chapter 6 - This story is far more interesting than the other book I was reading, although it does have a bit of a popcorn thriller storyline, and the popcorn is a little stale.

Page 38 of 306 After Gretchen September 12 - I was told this was really good so I don't know if I hide myself up or not but I had to start over twice and even read the blurb because I was a little bit confused about the opening now I'm just waiting for something interesting to happen. I may have to double back to this later it could be my mood.

Page 157 of 319 CHAPTER FIVE TIARAS AND CROWNS Fine and Fancy D - I was not expecting this book to feature recipes from defunct restaurants that was amazing. I haven’t come across any recipes that I would make, but I'm in love with all of the photos, especially of the restaurants and vintage items. The stories are fantastic! I'm going to have to read more of these books. I'm only stopping to watch the Survivor Finale

[Chapter] 39 LUCA - I'm supposed to be in the shower but one more chapter turned into 6. This is the best book I have read from this duo, although it would have been much better without all of this foreshadowing and avoidance on one particular chain of events. Let me get my butt in the shower before I'm late for my appointment.

Page 94 of 276 [Chapter] 15 Emery - Very cute plot.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE - This is more like what I was expecting in Book 1.

Page 136 of 317 Chapter 25 - It's an exiting thriller, for sure.

Page 14 of 264 CHAPTER TWO - They are really stacking it on. I think she's going to throw the entire kitchen sink into this story and I'm not mad about it. I'm only stopping because of Grisham.

11:03:22 The Fish Section - I'm not complaining because this is a long book, but I feel like the meat section was rushed a bit.
