I finished both of these.

I also listened to The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick and did not like it at all. I wanted a biography and I got 25% biography, 45% memoir, and 30% 25-year old internet speak about important social issues. I don't care if the author wants to write her memoir or discuss social issues using phrases such as "Netflix and chill" unironically. But I do care when I thought I was getting the biography of an artist of Hollywood. I listened to it on double-speed so I only lost 4 hours on that one.

I am currently listening to A Gentleman of Moscow by Amor Toles.

I am planning to start The Haunting of Tram Car 015 tonight on my Kobo.
