Listening to the rest of my Prince Harry audiobook, which of these library books do I still want?
I am enjoying it. (He said he's on Ch. 37 at the moment.) I have nineteen books. I decided I didn't like one of the graphic novels I had though.
I'll probably bring back the most recent Guiness World Records book (Goodreads doesn't have the most recent version but a few years before that - I know how to put the newest ones up but I'm also not inclined to do it right now since it's annoyingly tedious, and I don't feel well anyway). What I have is 2024.
It mentions Pokémon (that it's the highest-grossing media franchise), and a few other interesting things.
I also decided against keeping a graphic novel. But then again, I originally got it out for a reason, so I decided to look at it again - it is Emily Carroll's a GUEST in the HOUSE. It has a drawing of a staircase on the front cover, and I remember VERY CLEARLY spending HOURS sketching a staircase in high school.
It is VERY HARD. I complained about doing it to my father and he didn't understand.
I like the Prince Harry audiobook though.
I also have a biography by Joan Vos MacDonald about J.K. Rowling about whether her books should be banned then... a book by Rowling herself about the fringe benefits of failure, which I later reviewed.
So, I am no longer particularly interested in the Guiness World Records 2024 book. It seems to be designed for a younger reading audience than me. (But I was still curious!) I put it in my "to be returned" bag. (I'm checking to see if the Rowling book is there too!) [IT IS] Tilly likes the Prince's voice.
Stalwart means loyal, especially for a long time, able to be trusted.
I don't know what this man who phoned me and my father wants. He told me that he sent a letter, and in that letter it says to call x a telephone number.
However, in the meantime, I have been dealing with a secondary illness after the initial COVID-19 one...
Meanwhile, I can identify a little bit with this author since his mother died in the semi-recent past, just like mine, which is hard to grasp. (My own mother, for the record, had always absolutely adored all gossip about the Royal family.)
For this reason, I honestly did avoid looking into the subject for a little bit - but it would make 100% sense if I insist on coming to the University of Cambridge to understand about these people, too. After all... um... ^^;;; *keeps laughing*
The old battery ran out. I put it next to my date blocks, as I remember there might have been a place to put old batteries so you don't harm the environment.
Another review said there were 232 chapters?
OK. I am on Chapter 33, so 199 more!
They seem short, since I just heard Chapter 34.
It will go on for a long while, it seems.
Hmmmm. Reading Blumenthal's The China Nightmare more clearly while Prince Harry described certain difficulties he had since I generally have been able to read two books at a time by employing two senses.
So, I by-and-large did NOT enjoy Blumenthal's book, except for the maps - I liked it for its Djibouti-to-Kuala Lumpur map! :DDDD (I mean, technically Jakarta is a little farther away on that one but all of these cities are not exactly West Chester.)
OK, I spat out a first draft-ish type blah of a review of that Blumenthal book. Most people seem to have given it 4 stars. (Half of the people who have judged it at all.)
And for some reason I found it easier to write a review of a J.K. Rowling book.
But now I think I am going to go take my shower since that kind of hot water warms me faster than blankets.
Goodbye!
