I posted this on the Club forum and was helpfully reminded that I might want to ask here as well!

I'm listening to Actress of a Certain Age narrated by Jeff Hiller and it's been so fun to hear him read his own memoir! It feels more like a conversation than a book, ya know? So if you have recs for other entertaining audiobook memoirs read by their authors, send em my way please!

hi PB club pals!

as I sit here wondering how to choose which badges to display on my profile, I realize that many of you probably have the same dilemma! so I wanted to know how you all choose how to display your badges on your profile!

I’ll go first, I just got enough sparkly side quest badges to display them all together 🥹✨

There's so many different implements you can do it properly with.

Now, I know this might be shocking to some of those in our audience, but I am not a fan of wooden cooking implements. I know they can really get things stirred well and proper, but gods forbid you have anything that could slightly dye it. Making tomato soup? RIP your favorite spoon. Just another reason to be anti-tomato.

Besides that! I can never trust that I got the spoon clean enough because putting them through the dishwasher can ruin them, and even then, it's technically a porous material! I need to be confident that something is extra clean. Like, yeah, the dishwasher is no autoclave like my mother would bemoan of it (she'd put one in the house if my dad would let her) but STILL.

I'm usually a silicone and plastics girlie, though I won't hesitate to just lift things with my fingers or the fork I'm gonna use to eat it with. The less dishes, the better in my not-so-humble opinion.

SO YEAH. That's my opinion and anyone who thinks differently can get FORKED! /s

What about y'all? What are your preferred ways to stir pots?

Hi all! I'm new here and SO PLEASED I found this site. I've been dreaming of a book place like this.

I'm old enough to have been an avid reader for literal decades. Now I just wish to make sure there are others here too (age does not matter when it comes to reading, just curious).

Were you listening to Nirvana and reading The Secret History when it first came out?

Nice to meet you all!
