Historia
Flight attendant Allegra Patel loves her job, but today is her twenty-eighth birthday and she’d rather not be placating a plane full of passengers unhappy about a long delay. There’s the well-dressed man in seat 4C desperate not to miss his daughter’s musical. A harried mother frantically tries to keep her toddler and baby quiet. Honeymooners still in their wedding finery dream of their new lives, while a chatty emergency room nurse dreams of retirement.

Historia
When Jack and Elizabeth meet as college students in the gritty '90s Chicago art scene, the two quickly join forces and hold on tight, each eager to claim a place in the thriving underground scene with an appreciative kindred spirit. Fast-forward twenty years to suburban married life, and alongside the challenges of parenting, they encounter the often-baffling pursuits of health and happiness from polyamorous would-be suitors to home-renovation hysteria.

Halfway through
Revisado: 08-28-24
I’m not sure I can stick with it. I may enjoy reading this one more. Ari Flakos is a good narrator generally, but everything is so urgent and breathless in this story - always building toward some crescendo that doesn’t come. I kept wanting him to calm down. I went back to it after a couple months thinking maybe it had just been me because the reviews are all so terrific, but I had the same response. Slowed it down a little and it didn’t help.

Historia
William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him—so when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano in his freshman year of college, it’s as if the world has lit up around him. With Julia comes her family, as she and her three sisters are inseparable: Sylvie, the family’s dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all.

Historia
One morning in late 2017, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni woke up with strangely blurred vision. He wondered at first if some goo or gunk had worked its way into his right eye. But this was no fleeting annoyance, no fixable inconvenience.

Beautifully written and inspiring. A reminder that we are all dealing with something. I am only halfway through and I am already thinking that I want to listen again, and about who I should send a copy to.

This book is so good, and it’s even better being read by Anna. Her voice is soothing and calm, and the reading is pitch perfect.

Historia
In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child—not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power—the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

Perdita Weeks is perfection as Circe
Revisado: 05-17-21
The narrator of Circe makes the book. It is beautifully written, but I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much without Perdita Weeks.

Historia
Casey Wilson has a lot on her mind and she isn’t afraid to share. In this dazzling collection, each essay skillfully constructed and brimming with emotion, she shares her thoughts on the joys and vagaries of modern-day womanhood and motherhood, introduces the not-quite-typical family that made her who she is, and persuasively argues that lowbrow pop culture is the perfect lens through which to examine human nature.

Bravo Chanel. This book is beautifully written and read. I did speed it up just slightly as her cadence is slow- 1.25x was perfect. That is the least important thing about to though. I feel like I want a print version too so I can highlight and remember many of the passages.
