I listened to it and I'm so glad I did. Her reading it just brings so much. I reference the Fraud/doubt police subject all the time. I'm going to get the paperback when it comes out and I actually bought the audiobook so I could re-listen.

May was not a good reading month. I started and put down a lot of books but only read two:
Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.
Both were decent. A Court of Thorns and Roses started out SO great and I had very high hopes for it. I am a sucker for fairy tale type stories. The ending wasn't my favorite though. Still, I enjoyed it enough to download Throne of Glass when it was the kindle deal of the day.
The girl on the train
Happy again (sequel novella to This is what happy looks like)
Half bad
Dark flame (Immortal #4)
21 for the year. I keep track of pages read, but don't have it handy.
