Welcome to Litsy!

Feckless grad students at Oxford get drunk and sleep around a lot. They drink a lot, they hook up, they break up, they sleep with someone else. 😴😴😴😴

This applies both to my book club's reading selection for this month and the characters in this book in general. If this was the last enchantment, I'm sad. Luke Daniels, however, is a very entertaining narrator. He redeemed the experience in that I've discovered another narrator to love.

Finally over the halfway mark. There was an interesting turn of events, but I pretty much think most of the male characters, especially Will, are jack*asses. Luke Daniels is still the only reason I'm not bailing.

Listening to the beginning of disc 4 on the way home from dropping the kids off at riding lessons. I muttered, "Lying *sshole," to the main character as I turned off the car. Not a good sign. 5.8ish discs left. Thankfully Luke Daniels is a good narrator. He's the only thing going for this book.

I started this before my vacation because my April meeting will sneak up on me. This is my first Luke Daniels listen and I enjoyed what he did with the Fleet tour guide so far. The story itself? I fear it will bore me 1.5 discs in.

This is my April book club selection. Have you read it? Did You Ever Have a Family is going to be hard to beat.
