  • Started Eleanor & Park this morning on the train.  I didn't want my train ride to end!  It's #66 for the year.

    This book is going to break me, isn't it?

  • I'm planning on starting something new tonight.  I have five books in at the library - choices, choices.  I'm listening to Edith Hamilton's Mythology. I might want to play some sections when I teach a mythology class next semester.  It is # 179 for the year.

    That's too bad.  LA is a favorite of mine in that series.

  • I started Allegiant last night.
    So far, I don't hate it.  But I went into it with really poor expectations.

  • Reading: Catch Me by Claire Contreras 

    Unfortunately the audio of The Daughter of Smoke and Bone I was listening to expired and now I'm on hold again. I need to find a quick audiobook to listen to in the meantime.

  • I'm reading Nineteen Minutes.  It's #42 for the year, I think, and it's for book club.  It's actually a re-read for me, but it's been years since the first time I read it and it's also interesting because I feel like I have a different perspective as I'm now a parent and I wasn't the first time I read it.  I'm enjoying the book even though it's pretty depressing subject matter.

  • I'm reading The Lord of the Silent, it is #73 and is good so far.

    I'm listening to Dream Thieves, it is #74 and I'm really enjoying it! I just wish work would slow down so I could actually listen to a stretch at a time, instead of being constantly interrupted with the phone.

  • Listening to Shadow and Bone.  It's really good!!  I can't wait to get in my car for my commute so I can hear more. 

    Reading The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer.  This is a Regency romance novel written in the 1950's.  If you like regency books, you would probably like this one.

  • Because I am lazy and haven't gotten to the library yet I'm reading a book I'm only vaguely interested in but was able to check out from the e-library on my kindle.  It's called Kissing My Old Life Au Revoir, and it's unremarkable.

  • I am reading _Fire_ by Kristin Cashore.   I liked the first few chapters, but have stalled.   I might look for something else.

    I'm reading Wheat Belly, The Power of Why, Dune and still working on/neglecting The Spy Who Loved.  I'm listening to Orange is the New Black. They are #'s 159-163 for the year and one is for FBC.  I'm liking them all but the writer for Wheat Belly is getting on my nerves a little.

    I had a hard time getting into a few of the books in that series and I found that if I didn't read them back to back it was easier to get into them.  Of course they all had me by about halfway through.
