started listening - The Little Prince (Audiobook with Rain Sounds) - Down To Sleep #123
I don't get it. Too obscure for a #SleepStory.

finished reading Howl’s Moving Castle 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
A young woman gets caught up in magical machinations and is turned old & fabulously crotchety. Great characters and vibe but I lost track of the plot a bit (disclaimer: listened to this as a sleep story), and wasn't really into the romantic ending.

started listening - Pride and Prejudice Audiobook (Part 1) - Down To Sleep #122
by Jane Austen. 4.5 stars.
Long-time viewer (BBC only, thank you), but first-time reader (well, listener), and it did not disappoint. If anything the Bennetts are even nuttier. Love Lizzie's snark, and the frission with D'Arcy is frustratingly delectable. Really doesn't work as a #SleepStory though!

finished reading The Hobbit 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
by JRR Tolkien.
[re-read] The dwarves are dead weight - it's all Bilbo and Gandalf. Gollum really gets a raw deal in the riddle game.

started listening - The Secret Garden (Complete audiobook with rain) - Down To Sleep
by Frances Hodgson Burnett. 2 stars.
[re-read] Illness is all in your head which can be overcome through fresh air & mental fortitude. Fuck that shit ... Surprised it didn't trigger me on my first read (4 stars)!

finished reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
by Robert Louis Stevenson.
When our baser urges are allowed to run free, they end up dominating. Disturbing, even if the 'science' is a bit amusing.

finished reading Contact 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
by Carl Sagan.
A message from outer space is detected, and humanity sets about decoding it, then attempts to make contact with the originators. Delves into the nexus of science & religion, the complexity of international collaboration, and the social upheaval of such a paradigm-shifting discovery. Some excruciating elite-level gaslighting. Surprising ending!
