So here is what I listened to from October 2023 through July 2023.
Starred ones I really liked. Although I didn’t mark ALL the ones I really liked, just the ones that stood out as I was creating the pictures to post. The same with the red lines (did not like) and red lines with DNF – did not finish. I didn’t go through my notes I just marked things off the top of my head.
I used to think once I started a book I had to finish it. Then I realized I didn’t need to make myself suffer. There are so many books to listen to (read) why listen to one that is making me miserable. So that is why I have a few DNF. I moved onto something I enjoyed.
Unfortunately when I first started listening to books I wasn’t taking notes. Then I realized it would be good if I did because some authors I would rather avoid and there are some narrators I would have to be paid to listen to.
Plus I sometimes completely forget what a book is about and how I felt about it . . . . so that is why I started taking notes. I imagine I will post some of those notes, but first the timeline.
You may notice (or have from other pictures) that there are some series that I like.
Ok, how about these? Have you read any of these? Any thoughts? Do you have any series that you read?
January 2024 – November 2023
April 2024 – February 2024
July 2024 – May 2024

I am currently listening to a book. And it is taking me forever even though I am not paying that much attention. It is interesting, but it is telling me what I know. It is filling me in on more details about what I know so that is why I am trying to listen, but I cannot remember the details nor do I need to. It is giving me additional information, but it is also causing me to be very curious about a lot of things so I find myself stopping and looking things up and going off on tangents. And one thing it just informed me of had me saying “OH! I am doing a blog post about this.”
The book is The Joy of Movement and it is explaining about “runner’s high” and how the brain is effected and a lot of “cut up the brains of lab animals” kind of stuff.
But I am at the point where it mentions you can e-mail trees in Melbourne. Now the program started years ago with the intent of notifying the city if there was an issue, but people emailed gratitude and admiration. So . . . . of course, I had to do it.
I found a lot of articles regarding it, but I didn’t see any of them say how. So I went to the city’s website and entered “email a tree” in the search and a map came up and you can click on a tree and it states the type of tree it is and allows you to click “email tree”. So I did. 🙂
Since I don’t know anything about the city I picked a tree on Batman Avenue. 🙂
Anyone else interested in e-mail a tree? Tell me what you say.
I sent an e-mail to:
Araucaria
Bunya pine
tree ID : 1635292
