so much opining

Revisado: 02-11-25

it is unfortunate that these stories are told with so much side commentary and opining. the regular you, yuck, gross, commentary distracts from the facts of the history they wish to tell us. I'd like the opportunity to form my own opinions about the information and to decide how I feel about the actions of those involved by applying my understanding of the cultural norms of the time and then be able for myself to contrast those against where we have made progress or simply changed our culture up to today.

Banned Book due to N word

Revisado: 05-21-24

I'm deeply disappointed to have found this book on the band book list. the dedication to equity and inclusion that is expressed in this book, layered over the top of the 1930s Alabama communities is incredibly well written and expressed. it's not just about white and black, it's also about neighbors and disability and acceptance and kindness. if you choose to be offended simply because of the n word you're missing a lot of opportunity to learn, to review the growth people across the ages.

speech pattern distraction, great listen

Revisado: 12-21-22

this is a great story, a fascinating perspective on history, from a first person viewpoint. I believe the reader is attempting to imitate the speech pattern of Mr Washington. To my modern ear it is stilted and took me a while to get used to. once I adapted it was great, I could see myself sitting with him and listening.

follow the Data

Revisado: 08-14-22

Well written and researched. We must stop holding people in systems that truly DO NOT serve them, but rather keep them in struggle, poverty and cause them to be truly underserved. You could also call this book, "When helping actually hurts"

love the historical pieces

Revisado: 02-26-22

one of the things I love about this series is the way history is woven in. including the history of the development of herbal medicine and how various illnesses were managed in different times.

personalities of things, the narrator in her head

Revisado: 11-18-21

I loved this book. I'm not sure I would have loved it as much had I read it but that is to be found out later. I loved listening to this story personality that was given to things and to places. is the author says the story may not be for everybody but it has been perfect for me. it is very different like the character, it is relaxing and it explores so much of human emotion. I will need to listen to it again for even when I paid close attention I know there were things I missed.

do you really breathe that fast?

Revisado: 10-14-20

overall lenjoyed this. it helped me relax and destress, but I think most people breathe too fast and too shallow. this author seems to want me to breathe more quickly and more shallowly than I typically would, while calling it "deep breath"

glad to have learned a few things!

Revisado: 02-08-20

so the short listen, and an intense listen at the same time. New perspectives gained, new insights, learned some things about history I'd never heard before. I am deeply grateful for having taken the time to listen to The book of this amazing author.

brain candy

Revisado: 12-24-19

this is a very traditional holiday romance story. it's cute it's fun and it's well read by the two individuals who play the characters in the story. 4 simple brain candy I enjoyed it.
