This Is Why I’m Tired

By: Faith Hubble

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This Is Why I’m Tired is a poetry collection for the women carrying too much.

For the ones who hold families together, clean up the mess, remember the birthdays, soothe the tantrums, apologize first, and ask for the least. For the women who are tired—not just sleepy, but soul-tired—from being everything to everyone.

Told in three parts—What I Carry, What I Gave Up, What I Choose Now—this book is an unflinching look at emotional labor, invisible weight, and the quiet rebellion of choosing yourself.

Virtual voice detracts from the work

Loved the poems, but the cut of the virtual voice left things disjointed. Would’ve been worth having a real narrator

The truth about life

I can relate to this woman, and I think it should be required reading in high school or college literature courses. Young women should think twice about marriage, children and what all of that really means for their lives. This book tells it like it is. I wish the author would have narrated it herself, but even with the virtual voice, this is a MUST READ!
