Still plugging away at this with the #goodreads History Book club. I am already behind, non-fiction is a challenge for me. #chunkster

"There was no light at the end of the tunnel. Or if there was, it was an oncoming train."

I'm listening via #overdrive, so the quote might but be exactly right. But there have been so many hilarious little parts of this book and this is the first I have thought I could capture. #audiobooklove

Making my way through the second column of this classic trilogy. I love seeing the world through eyes so different from my own. #chunkster

I just finished All Quiet on the Western Front, so I am starting a romance next and I make no apology. Feeling overwhelmed by humanity's collective stupidity but also our individual moments of grace.

Stunning prose! I am such a fiction junkie, I have to force myself to fit in non-fiction, but I enjoyed every minute of listening to the author read her work. I didn't even know that I wanted to learn about hawking, but it seems that I did.

I love a great fairy tale and really loved this book. I truly love ones where the hero needs the saving and Cinderella has brains and bravery. I liked that it is a stand-alone, since I have gotten pulled into so many fantasy series.

One of the best books I have read this year, and I'm sorry I didn't read it last year. I listened to the audiobook read by the author and I think hearing his own voice added a lot. I most appreciated the reminder of how the concept of race, especially whiteness, is just something we have made up. "The people who think they are white" plays in my head now when I hear or read references to race. I bought copies for my sons .

A gripping follow up to An Ember in the Ashes. I listened to the audiobook and the narration is really fabulous. I think if I was reading it I would not like it as much. The world-building is simplistic and the prose can be repetitive. But the story cracks along, the plot twists and turns and you can't wait to find out what happens next.
