Re: January 2022!

I made a very non difficult goal to read a book a month this year. When I started listening to podcasts I sort of quit reading. I have a pile of books on my nightstand.

I’m starting with Emptying the Pews: Stories of Leaving Church.

Re: July!

My slow distracted ass is reading Stonewall Reader, it’s a collection of short writings from and about the LGBTQ+ community before, during and after the Stonewall Riots.

I’ve been kind of reading it while Evan is at his internship but I get too distracted so I’m barely to the half way point,

Re: August! What are you reading?

I listened to David Spades “A Polaroid guy in a Snapchat world “

And we did “Everything Trump Touches Dies” by Rick Wilson which is excellent even the parts I don’t agree with. He’s a never Trump Republican strategist

Re: March: What are you reading?

Finished "If You Find Me" by Emily Murdoch it was a good story. It's about a girl and her little sis hidden in the woods and then being found.


I'm listening to "When We Rise" by Cleve Jones now. I loved the mini series. Book is similar but different.

Re: February! What are you reading?

Just listened to The Unbreakable Miss Lovelr

It's about one of the first reporters Scientology terrorized. It was really good and I do suggest it if you like Scientology stuff.

Mellon I just finished "beyond belief" last night too and agree. It was good but I'm most interested in how she got out and life now. Some of the Scientology life could have been edited.

I need to read Divergent, Evan ate it up and als I need to read A Separate Peace before I have him read it, it's been since 1990 that I read it.

I need to find something to read while Evan schools. His schooling is online but I like to be there for questions.

Probably Hawaiian history first

Re: September! What are you reading?

I'm actually reading a book

"Leaving the Saints", I may have read it before but I don't think so.

I also have a book about cults but I realize it was published in 1998 so I'm sure I've read it before.

I'm going to put The Scientology book on hold bc it was checked out.
