Aloha,

Even if the book is not of this group, feel free to share it. Also, feel free to share how you feel about the book. Do not worry about grammar. I have dyslexia and no one is here to judge you. Just have fun!

HAPPY READING!

Yuck. Hopefully, it will change. Keep us posted, please. Be well.

I made a jar of all of my TBR book on bits of paper (turns out I have so many it wouldn't fit in the jar so there's overflow into a teapot...), so I pulled the first one out last night and now I'm reading The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley. It's historical fiction...I've read a few chapters, not sure about it! Going to stick it out for a few more and decide whether or not to keep going with it...

Keep us posted, please. History is one of my favorites. Be well.

It took me awhile to learn how to add the book. I learn it from another group. This is one of the books I will start to read later today. I read multiple books at once and listen to audio. 📚are my utopia.

Be well.

[RM(Alwaysdaddygirl)]

One book I am reading.

[Di]

I've been reading Scale: The Universal Laws of Growth, Innovation, Sustainability, and the Pace of Life in Organisms, Cities, Economies, and Companies by Geoffrey West for another book club. Its an audiobook and apparently audiobooks are really not my thing. I keep falling asleep every 10 minutes. I started this book 25th of October and I'm afraid it will take me until the end of the year to get through this. Book itself is interesting but yea..the falling asleep part is horrible.

[Irene]

I'm currently reading and it's really good and very creepy! I find it slow and hard to read, there are lots of foreign words in there that I don't know, so it's taking me quite a while to get through it! It's worth it though :)

[RM(Alwaysdaddygirl)]

Mahalo for sharing Irene and Christina! I am not familiar with these authors. I will check it out.

For me, I dive deeper into books with my mental illness triggers. My goal for 2017 was to read 100 books and I read 280. This is why I do not fill out this post often. I do not want it to be about me.
I truly wanted it to be for every member of our group!

​​Happy Reading Everyone!

Happy new year all! I'm currently reading a preview copy of White Privilege: The Myth of a Post-Racial Society. It's interesting, but I think it's aimed at a more academic audience because it's structured very much like an academic thesis, with lots of references and jargon so I'm finding it quite a slow read. Determined to finish it though!

The last book I posted about, The Watchmaker from Filigree Street, got a LOT better in the second half - I quite enjoyed it by the end!

[Agustin]

Hi, im currently reading SAPIENS A BRIEF HISTORY OF MANKIND, very interesting, fluid reading, kind of biased towards justifying European genocides during imperial eras because of them importing development into their conquered states he kind of insist on that point. In all a great easy to read and lost of info, it has a second book about the future of humanity HOMO DEUS.

The book was great at explaining about how the brain handles stress biologically and the effects it has on us. He uses a lot of science to back up his work and also provides a lot of metaphores to explain what he teaches. He also provides information on what you can do to manage stress in healthier ways as well.

[Di]

I'm currently powering through Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst by Robert M. Sapolsky. It is very comprehensive, backed also by science and good explanations. Though, if im honest, the brain structure chapter is still way above my head... :D Chris, maybe you would like this too?

[Chris]

Thanks! :) I had read that one. It was what got me into his other books. It is a great book too.

I am currently reading a nonfiction book Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou. It is so interesting ! It reads like a thriller. Thrillers make me usually bit anxious so I need to read only few chapters a day but man this is worth it!

Preparing for baby with Mayo Clinic Guide to Your Baby's First Year: From Doctors Who Are Parents, Too!. I really like the monthly overviews of babys development: what milestones to look forward to every month, what toys are appropriate each month and ofc important info on CPR and other tips and tricks.

[RM(Alwaysdaddygirl)]

Aww, that is beautiful Di! Hugsie 🤗💐🌷💞🐾🌺🐾
