It did not like this photo and wouldn't upload it with the original post

Pro tip: put as many as you can in rolling suitcases!

Is this not... every day?

Yes! It's the best! Helps to read more, for sure.

And sometimes I will even listen while reading the print book. The ultimate! 😅

Would love to be added as well :)

My house is already overrun with books, but sometimes a special edition or another country's cover is too pretty not to own.

Each month is different, just depending on which books I'm reading, which genres, if it's available on Libby, & how busy I am. In Jan I read 11 books, & while none were fully on audio, some I supplemented with audio while driving, chores, etc. Feb 9 books, 1 full audio. March 3 so far, all audio.

I am Team DNF. There are too many good books out there.

It also simultaneously provides beauty & hope.

This structure is intentional & cleverly written. Apparitions displays fantastic writing in a dark, powerfully sad, fascinating story. Highly recommend. & DO NOT skip the author's note at the start. It puts everything into perspective.

As an ASL Interpreter, I know the damaging effects of language deprivation on Deaf folks. In Apparitions, Pottle not only shows us this but also plants us into the story with the narrator, overwhelming us with his experiences and feelings. It's dark, claustrophobic, and induces anxiety and dread.

While this is a horror story (and some parts are absolutely disturbing and difficult to read), it is also an important, powerful example of another type of horror: language deprivation.

After years of brutal abuse, a Deaf teen escapes his father's basement. Bruised, alone, & deprived of language, he is lost until he finds himself in an isolated psychiatric facility. He meets another Deaf teen, Felix, who teaches him Sign Language. But he overlooks the dangers of Felix's growing ego

Yay! Hope you love it!
