I'm trying an experiment: I started a facebook page where I'm posting all my #audiobook thoughts in short form.

Each post will also have a link to my Goodreads writeup if for those who want more details.

I'm slowly adding my 2024 audiobooks to the page. Take a look if you want. The page will be updated regularly.

New pair of #socks I was inspired by Altitude Socks by Helen Stewart, but I reworked the pattern stitch & sock construction to suit my preferences.

#Book 19: Across so Many Seas by Ruth Behar -- I can't recommend enough this beautifully written story about four Sephardic Jewish girls who live in different time periods & different countries. A difficult decision: whether to read in print or in audio; each has its benefits.
