Linda | 1693 comments Started listening to Everything's Fine Everything's Fine by Cecilia Rabess . I read an article that included this book as an example of GoodRead's reviews almost tanking it before it was even published. I decided to try it myself even though I suspect it isn't one of my usual genre.

Having lived in New Hampshire for the past 30+ years, I wish the situation was as funny as the title. Home to the Free State Project, which has the ultimate goal of seceding from the Union, we are overrun by people who think any government is too much government.

I'm shaking my head at a lot of it, Betsy. Have you read it?

Betsy (ebburtis) | 1291 comments Started Spare Spare by Prince Harry . I am just voyeuristic enough to be drawn to a good royal tell-all.

Unfortunately like the several recent books I've gotten from the downloadable library, I will likely not be able to finish in the two weeks and then will have to sit on a lengthy waitlist before I can get back to it. These are the only times I wish for a longer commute.
