Spoiler, it sucks. I'll say this, the narrator is amazing. Even reading abt mutilated genitalia, sperm caked hair & cringey violent golf sex his voice is so pleasant my power nap turned into an all day nap. "vegetables & body parts bobbed to the dark surface of the pool" 🤦🏻📚💙📚🩸 #bramstoker #horror

I spent 2 days in Bear's Ears with SUWA @protectwildutah.bsky.social Yesterday we built buck & rail fencing around 2 #ancestralpuebloan petroglyph sites. Now cows can't disturb the sites & campers won't build camp fires up against the rock! #volunteer #protectwildutah #savebearsears #bearsears #blm

16 hour #audiobook ? Bring it on! 💯❤️ Reincarnation into the same life over & over until you right a historical wrong but written with beautiful subtlety you might miss the leaps from life to life if you're not paying attention. A WW2 Groundhog Day with only hints you're repeating full lives. 💙📚 📚🎧

#audiobook 90 of 2025. Pretty good. I guess I can't wrap my brain around anyone NOT turning back when someone DIES in your mountaineering party. #adventurebook 💙📚 #suspence

Book 89 of 2025. Am I late w/ this #audiobook? My reading journey is a winding road; I get there when I get there. 💯❤️! Made me hate bad men more, if that's possible, & love good men. The dog! Gah! SuchAGoodBoy. In summary I wanna wear a pencil in my hair & I want misogynists & rapists to know why 💙📚

Books 87 & 88 of 2025
Premonition was just an hour, nice. The Other Valley was just wow wow wow so well written & compelling! 💯❤️ Totally unique time travel spin. I have a lady boner for time travel books. 📚🪐 📚💙 #scifibooks #sff

#utahsenatorcurtis took time from meeting w/ commissioners to talk w/ protesters but gave a shit response to the poor getting hammered. Saying when Dems had house, sen. & WH they didn't fix the deficit & what was our plan to fix it. Fair points, but that's your job, Curtis, & your failing us #resist

Kinda forgot the plot on this "unforgettable story of love and loss" #audiobook I halfway read yesterday. Although it's possible I was too distracted to give it a fair chance. If the drama of modern day damsels in distress & angsty truckers are your bag, you might like this. Book 87 of 2025. 📚🎧 📚💙

I tried to lighten the mood in my #audiobook selection today. Yep, it provided lots of guffaws but it was also rather tense! I mean I know how it ended because, well duh, but verily I hath clutchethed the edge of my seat! Good stuff. 💯❤️ 📚💙 📚🪐 📚🎧 #shakespeare #starwars #comedyfiction

Why do I keep reading gut wrenching #audiobooks about how despicable humans are to each other? Fuck! Really well written, really shocking. In her next life she needs to be something like "immortal butterfly" because her soul deserves lightness, beauty and freedom. 📚💙 📚💡 #autobiography #sexualassault

Heroic & utterly heartbreaking. They still don't teach kids this in school, do they? There's a part about slave owners' devious tactics to get freed slaves back. The location of one sounded like one of my ancestors plantations. Didn't think I could be more disgusted. 5/5⭐ 💙📚 #blm #blackhistory

I kept my #idesoftrump postcard succinct. Don't come for me about the punctuation. And don't tell me my dog is fat. She's sensitive 😎

If you need to relight or stoke the fire of justice mobilizing outrage, read this collection from #blackauthors. It took me a few sittings to get thru because yeah, it's really fucking hard to revisit the stories of black lives lost & racist led violence. That's the least we can do. 📚💙 #blm #resist

I ended up painting a whole new one (pic 1) since I didn't want to alter the original (pic 2). I might do it again because it's not exactly what I hoped for but 🤷🏻 #watercolor #art

Another day another #audiobook. I'm so into #horrornovels lately. Guess it takes a lot to shock me these days. Anywho, this was alright! Narrated perhaps by the love child of Phil Hartman & Bill Curtis speaking in extreme accents. I also had to check this wasn't a YA novel 🤔 #booksky 💙📚🩸 #bookreview

Read 3 audiobooks in 2 days? Sure! If 2 are only 3 hours long 😎 This baby got me through my taxes tonight (fucking finally done!). A really in depth account of the 1969 police raid turned riot & the dawn of the gay rights movement. 💯❤️! Highly recommend! #booksky 📚💙☮️ #gayrights #pride #stonewall

Forgot I read this one while doing yard work yesterday. #3 of the #murderbot series. Totally entertaining and written smartly enough that I don't have to think. Perfect dirt shoveling soundtrack #booksky 💙📚 #scifibooks #snarkyandroid

Another good read from AM Shine. I think I was too distracted to really get fully immersed though. Anyone else look up other books by a narrator when you really like their voice/story telling prowess? His reading of the little girl's voice was super creepy. Oh hey! Creeper! #booksky 📚💙🩸
March 13, 2025 at 1:41 AM
💯❤️ Gut wrenching and will move you to act. #truecrime writers, take note; personalize the victims & dehumanize bad cops, not the other way around. Just oof, right in the feels. Did I binge a 10 hour book in one sitting? Mmmaybe? #booksky 💙📚 #mmiw #saveoursisters #firstnations #indigisky

Is this painting of the Wave done or should I zhuzh it up like I did the last two paintings shown? Thoughts? #watercolor #painting #artcritique

Ok now this is how you narrate a #horrornovel. Tension & gripping suspense came through in spades. Kinda gory. Kinda Omen & Rosemary's Baby had a baby. Kinda Greg Brady stealing the Hawaiian Tiki God. Liked it a lot but *not* 💯❤️. The Ritual was better, book & movie. #📚💙🩸 #booksky📚💙 #bookreview
March 11, 2025 at 2:44 PM
I *really* wanted to like this. For a "hallucinatory #horrornovel set deeply in the consciousness of a woman exploring a changed & frightening world" it reads like someone *trying* to poetically describe a dream, dully. Perhaps I shouldn't have done my taxes while listening #booksky #💙📚🩸#bookreview
March 11, 2025 at 2:36 PM
I like when an author is subtle with foreshadowing and hints so that later the pieces fall into place with surprise. Great read, unique story and even though I guessed the ending it was fun to speculate. I'm going to try to post every (audio) book I read the rest of the year.
