TRANSCRIPT OF RECORDED SESSION DR. EVELYN BAUER SESSION #2 - This is starting to pick up, but I have a book discussion to attend.

Page 45 of 303 TWO DAYS BEFORE - I don't know what this is but I'm staying on the ride.

1:27:50 Five Weeks Before Halloween - I'm not sure if the Halloween chapters are Halloween as a character/narrator, scenes from the day of, or both.

[Second page of] Chapter Six Dorothy - 3 more chapters to go. Rachel is officially winning in the most unlikable character race. I don’t like the LI either. I'm going to really crank it out tonight. I'm focusing on the good book. I fell asleep against my will with this one. Maybe a chapter every meal will do it.

Halloween 37:39 - I'm excited for this one. I'm going to force myself to finish the mother daughter cruise novella, and then I can learn more about these snobby neighbors.

224 FORTY-ONE TONYA - I am behind on the discussion so I'm going to stop here so I can answer last week's question and then I'm going to finish this book and try my best not to spoil anything after Chapter 55. Honestly this book is in the 2-star zone and feels like it might plummet more if it wasn't for 2 book clubs, "Mom" in the title, and Kindle Unlimited I would not be reading this. The potholes in the last chap

Page 81 of 291 [Chapter] 9 - I love this book. I'm going to stop to eat dinner and write a review, this one will get the all-through-the-night treatment.

[Chapter] 7. Clothes, clothes everywhere and not a stitch to wear - There is a lot of clutter in this book, the author doesn't stay on topic and the advice is not the best. You know how you are learning a new job and in the midst of getting instructions your trainer is gossiping about the job and telling you about their family? That is this book.

7:40:23 Chapter Twenty-five Egypt, 1994 - It's okay, it seems to have more action than Book 1 but the story is all over the place.

CHAPTER 19 Georgia Finally have an honest conversation about weight. (Not on the list, but a long time coming.) - It's better

NATIONAL PARK ▶ CANADA (QUEBEC) ◀ NOT PARTICULARLY BEAUTIFUL - Okay this has gotten better, because of the waterfalls.

Page 30 [46] of 237/253 PACIFIC RIM ➡️ CANADA (BRITISH COLUMBIA)⬅️ IF YOU LIKE WALKING ON AN ALMOST ENDLESS BEACH THIS IS THE PLACE- The opening was funny, some of the complaints are ridiculously humorous but the actual descriptions are lacking compared to the last book.

2:18:43 Chapter Nine - I'm going to have to take my time with this one. It jumps around too much I'm lost, I don't know if it's the 80s or 2020s, I'll find out later when I restart this chapter.

1:56:36 Chapter Seven - so this story will take us through the eighties and is tied to the events of Book 1, which weren't as solved as we were led to believe. It's interesting but unnecessary, but requested by readers, not me and I read Book 1 twice.

CHAPTER 13 Marley - I may not be returning, this book is depressing.

Chapter Five Rachel - My page count dropped to 71, this is why I don't like Libby Ebooks. I kept getting interrupted with this one, but now I see. The story is dull the dialogue is atrocious (I thought it well before they used it) and I dislike all of the characters. They can't all be obnoxious, can they? I want to abandon ship, but it's under 80 pages (probably 70 tomorrow) and I'm halfway done.

CHAPTER 10 Georgia - This story is a bit depressing. It basically about these 3 friends who meet at a fat camp, then one dies from complications related to morbid obesity, and the other 2 are left behind. They have issues in every possible area except work, she challenges them to do a list they made as kids for when they got skinny. It's kinda sad and these ladies are severely insecure, I don't read to take on other

Page 18 of 456 Chapter Georgia - Every! Time! I don't know why I do this to myself. These books always end well but they always have a rough start. This is getting moved to the bottom of the pile, I continue it later.

Page 127 of 362 [Chapter] Fourteen - I DNF In A Holidaze, I almost didn't make it through The Unhoneymooners, it was the bodily fluids, so I was rightfully worried about this book club read. I'm happy to say the plot, humor, and even the characters are great so far.

week 4 RUB-A-DUB-DUB, LOTS OF FOLKS IN THIS TUB

Page 85 of 242/324 Chapter 7 - This is very Hallmarky with terrible dialogue, but I'm here for it. The nerve of this guy. I did not realize this book was a double feature. Lucky for me I already read the other book, it's a lit better than this one.

week 3 TELL THE WORLD AND TAKE ANOTHER STEP - Of my current 7 books this one is the most exciting and that's sad. Let me knock out this audio book so I can move on to something good.

Page 19 of 233 week 1 MAKE A PLAN - I think I love this book already. I started it because I feared I lost my Kindle streak and I should have started this book last week. It's great so far.

Chapter 26 - I am officially over this story. It is like a woman's fiction novel with a romantic detour and the intimate scenes are the most boring parts. I can't wait for them to be over. How many times are you gonna touch a thigh, repetitive? Is kinda giving me Evelyn Hugo vibes and I did not like that story.

3:08:31 The Story - I was thinking that I would make it this far if it was for being trap in a car with this audiobook but by the end of chapter 2 I was kind of enjoying the story a little bit my mood has shifted. How did I know it was Linger before she told us it was Linger? The vibe that's how. This story is far superior to Drop Dead And I think once my brain saw it was a completely different story even though it
