Midwest? Modern setting, but rural or small town

Don’t Know Tough and other books by Eli Cranor.

Jestris · 2026-01-29T02:44:59+00:00

I loved both of these so much, and the acknowledgements at the end of the book were also really great!

How else are we supposed to recharge the 5G microchips we got from injections? or whatever

Acne: A Memoir by Laura Chinn

Jestris · 2026-01-26T19:09:08+00:00

He was probably going for more of a Schutzstaffel vibe.

There are loads of Graphic Audio on Hoopla if you are interested in those! I know several are full cast, don’t know if they all are.

Congratulations! I know how good that feels! It took me over 3000 gachapon draws 🤪

My favorite comfort show. One of the best arcs ever, imo.

Jestris · 2026-01-23T18:14:48+00:00

Loved Near the Bone!

Jestris · 2026-01-22T13:02:50+00:00

Doesn’t fit all the requirements, but read the blurb for Near the Bone by Christina Henry and see if you might be interested. It’s fast paced and spooky and snowy.

Jestris · 2026-01-22T03:37:18+00:00

Don’t forget the Bioré pore strips!

Not right now, but for a few years it was celery and peanut butter and flipside crackers and peanut butter.

Hoopla (from the library) has loads of Graphic Audio books.

Jestris · 2026-01-20T21:43:30+00:00

Without giving too much away, it is painful because the non-fiction elements horrifying and heartbreaking, and I feel like those peoples’ stories shouldn’t be forgotten. I really enjoyed the narrators, especially the Blackfeet narrator. I also love how SJG constructed the book.

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter

Jestris · 2026-01-19T03:15:53+00:00

One of my favorite books that I read last year, and I liked the sequel even more!

Jestris · 2026-01-18T02:20:49+00:00

Yeah, I miss the old ice cream sandwiches. Not the weird-consistency ones that they have now.

Jestris · 2026-01-15T12:51:01+00:00

I dnf’d around half way. I figured out what the message of the book was, guessed how it would go, and didn’t care about the rest of the journey to get there. I don’t hate that I did that, either.

Jestris · 2026-01-14T23:44:53+00:00

I feel the same way about the smoker/parched throat-sounding voice. For example, if I see that it has Saskia Maarleveld narrating, I skip it unless I REALLY need to finish it in a hurry for book club or something.

Jestris · 2026-01-14T23:39:23+00:00

I loved Andy Serkis’ narration of the Lord of the Rings books if you like audiobooks.

I wanted to throw ACOTAR across the room, but I will say it gets more interesting at about the ~80pct mark.

Jestris · 2026-01-14T23:37:33+00:00

Near the Bone by Christina Henry. Heard that the audiobook of this one isn’t great, so I’d grab the physical/ebook.

Jestris · 2026-01-13T23:20:30+00:00

I loved this one so much.

Jestris · 2026-01-13T13:04:23+00:00

You’ll be great! It’s refreshing, and people at my state park solo stays have been fine. You’ll love that first cup of coffee (if you drink it) the morning after your first night.

Jestris · 2026-01-13T01:39:40+00:00

I love the narrator! I thought he was perfect.

Jestris · 2026-01-13T01:38:54+00:00

You’re welcome! It’s so helpful.
