Tiny Ronin, sweet and small, Cradled in a skateboard hall. No manger soft, no hay so deep, A ramp his bed, a dream to keep. Aboard his board, he’ll soar and fly, Beneath the stars, up to the sky. No shepherds watch, no angels sing, But skaters cheer, a joyful ring. Ronin’s music, a beat so strong, Echoes through the night, all night long. A legacy of grunge, A spirit free, a heart of gold.

My audiobooks are clippy on Hoopla, but not anywhere else.

Clippy audio is not fun.

FBReader has always worked well for me.

Have you read, Antarctica by Kim Stanley Robinson? The book is science fiction, but covers Shackleton’s story as a motif.

I’m reading To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini. It is a lot of fun so far. The characters are deep and believable. The plot is complex and interesting. I love it!

I just finished Whalefall by Daniel Kraus if you are looking for a gripping, hard-science, scuba survival thriller. The ending is so metal. The writing is great and the tension makes it hard to read and hard to put down.
