Real Estate Investing vs. living in a home

Revisado: 12-23-20

One unexpected lesson was what it really means to buy a home and the real cost of real estate investing. Anxious People is now one of my favorite listens of 2020 and now I'm going back to listen to all of Backman's novels. He is such a talented writer. He can drop a sentence casually into a story that can sum up years of knowledge. I highly recommend this to anyone considering buying a home and to heal any 2020 anxiety!

Interview without questions

Revisado: 11-19-20

This is great for Dolly fans, but unlike a usual memoir it felt more like an interview with a male voice guiding the conversation without asking direct questions. It could also pass for a podcast with super short episodes aka 180 chapters of about two minutes each that could make a great daily Dollyism listening for super fans to hear a bit of her song and the story behind a song before starting a day. Best part was definitely hearing her sing bits of the songs and then explain the meaning and stories behind the lyrics.

Not a usual memior but...

Revisado: 11-17-20

Much more about the issues that matter most to her. This is not your usual memoir with beginning, middle, and end. Instead it primarily focuses on her views with some personal stories sprinkled throughout. I loved listening to this with her narration and learned a lot about her and what she'll likely focus on!

slow BUT

Revisado: 10-30-20

It's worth it in the end. At first I didn't like this slow read with Kathy constantly going back oh I should tell you this story to understand that story, but in the end there are some worthwhile lessons and a perspective that make this story special and make it all worthwhile. I also highly recommend watching the movie after listening to this!

Long Ted style talk

Revisado: 09-30-20

I am NOT a regular Rachel Hollis fan, so I was worried there'd be too much that I wouldn't "get" since I haven't read her other books, but it didn't matter. If you're going through any grief from loss of a job or friend or a divorce this is the long Ted style talk you didn't know you needed. I loved how current this is repeatedly mentioning quarantine and her divorce that are happening right now. Just like that poopy avocado color paint you want to quickly cover up in a house renovation, this will teach you how to properly sand down the cabinets so a new coat of paint will stick. She explained things simply and says herself though being a motivational speaker is a part of what she does, "I don't want to motivate you" since motivation is fleeting and situational, she wants to instead give hard truths and help you get things together and have good habits even in the bad times.

Present to past

Revisado: 09-28-20

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this mystery unfold back and forth from the present to the past as told from the many beautiful perspectives and accents. It was fun figuring out how many people had motives and the unexpected twists and turns that kept me guessing and entertained till the very end. Hannah was my favorite character and deserves her own sequel. I think many mysteries' endings can be under-developed or too out of left field, but this one was so unexpected but still very well written that the story had great closure!

Required Brooklyn reading

Revisado: 09-25-20

Wow, what a great listen and unique way to explain gentrification through this thriller style story. This should be required reading for real estate agents, real estate "investors" and anyone moving into Brooklyn or any other up-and-coming area.

Offensively funny!

Revisado: 09-24-20

If you get offended easily you won't like this! If you like to laugh and love the Bodega Boys videos or podcast this is a longer version with some helpful life lessons that people don't usually talk about. Real New Yorkers will relate to this. Wannabe New Yorkers will want to soak up details like a sponge. Funny random thoughts like: imagine a dating site filtered by what foods your partner can and cannot consume.

Inspirational tidbits

Revisado: 09-24-20

Lovely short listen that can be so inspirational especially depending on when you listen or relisten to it. It made me rethink eating, exercise, work and the meaning of retirement. “Can someone really retire if he is passionate about what he does?” It's about staying active in both mind and body. It is a light read but I think that's a good thing!
