Kate’s 2¢: “The Anthropocene reviewed: essays on a human-centered planet” by John Green

“The Anthropocene reviewed: essays on a human-centered planet” by John Green

NOTE: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as, describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares her thoughts about what she reads. Inho…

   The author experienced Lybirinthitis as well as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and now realizes that one must live your life. There are no observers of life, only participants.

    The most common symptoms of labyrinthitis are:

• feeling that you or your surroundings are moving or spinning (vertigo)

• feeling or being sick

• some hearing loss

These symptoms can vary in severity, with some people feeling that they can’t stand upright.

Other symptoms of labyrinthitis may include:

• mild headaches

• ringing or humming in your ear(s) (tinnitus)

• fluid or pus leaking out of your ear(s)

• ear pain

   Obsessive Compulsive disorder (OCD), is a mental health condition, where there is frequent thought of fear or worry.

      Green reads his own book with a slow, well modulated voice. He reviews his podcasts and rates them based on a five-star scale. His brother thought up the title, because Anthropocene is the label for the age we currently live in.

Kate’s 2¢: “Call Me Maybe” by Cara Bastone

I suspect most of us have experienced being put on hold for a long time. This story has a happy ending after being on hold for a long time. Don’t we wish we could all have such a happy ending.

   Lucy Christian and Neal Hellegers did a great job of narrating this story for us.

In love with everyday love. Hi, I’m Cara! I’m a full time writer living and writing in Brooklyn with my husband, sons, and an almost-goldendoodle. My goal with my work is to find the swoon in ordinary love stories.

I’ve been a fan of the romance genre since I found a grocery bag filled with my grandmother’s old Harlequin Romances when I was in high school. I’m a fangirl for pretzel sticks, long walks through Prospect Park, and love stories featuring men who aren’t hobbled by their own masculinity.

“Paint your toes. Pick up the wrong coffee and bagel order. Drive from Brooklyn to Jersey in traffic so slow you want to tear your hair out. It’s amazing all the useless things I can accomplish while on hold for three hours with customer service. Three hours when I should be getting the Date-in-a-Box website ready to launch at the big business expo in a few days. Except my shiny new website is glitching, and my inner rage-monster is ready to scorch some earth…when he finally picks up. Not the robot voice I expected but a real live human named Kal. He’s surprisingly helpful and really knows his stuff, even if he’s a little awkward…in an adorable way. And suddenly I’m flirting with him? And I think he’s flirting back. And suddenly it’s been hours, and we’re still on the phone talking and ordering each other takeout while he troubleshoots my website. And suddenly we’re exchanging numbers and sending texts and DMs every day, leaving voice mails (who even does that anymore?!). And suddenly I’m wondering if it’s possible for two people to fall in love at first talk. Because I’m falling…hard.” — Provided by publisher. Unrated. Commercial audiobook.
