A mystery about two characters was solved in today‘s listening of All Clear. The time travel is becoming a little more “wibbley-wobbly timey-wimey” than has been the case in previous books. Gorgeous walk today. #audiowalk

Missy let me walk her this evening. I‘ve got 19 hours left to All Clear, and I‘m wondering what Colin is up to in 2060. He‘s planning something; I just don‘t know what. #audiowalk

I‘m enjoying this, but I think Polly and Mike are underestimating Eileen‘s strength. Nice, comfortable temperatures today. #audiowalk

Arrrrghh! I did not know the story was not complete in one book! I had to get All Clear and start listening to it since I finished Blackout in the middle of my walk. I was far too invested in the story not to continue it. #audiowalk

Our fake autumn is beginning now. The temps are in the 60s in the mornings but jump to low 80s in the afternoon. The breezes make for lovely walks. I still am not sure how all the stories are going to converge, but I‘m beginning to see possibilities. #audiowalk

Seven hours left and still no idea how all the stories will converge. I want to know what‘s going on back in future Oxford! Saw Charlie Brown and Snoopy on my walk. #audiowalk

I feel as if the chaos of this book must be representative of the chaos in wartime Britain, especially during the Blitz. Peaceful #audiowalk in the botanical gardens.

There are so many time travelers in WWII London right now that I‘m getting confused! I still don‘t know why Dunworthy rescheduled so many drops. #audiowalk

Back to Blackout for my #audiowalk. I‘m really enjoying it, but we‘ve got chaos right now with all the time travel drops being changed for no discernible reason

This is a solid entry in the Cork O‘Connor series. I just feel that we‘ve been there, done that in terms of plot. The climate issues raised in the novel are interesting. #audiowalk

I love Henry Meloux, but I‘m getting a little worried about how long he can realistically stick around. He is, after all, approximately 105. #audiowalk

It‘s nice to be following Cork O‘Connor and his family again, but I feel like Krueger has used this plot before. #audiowalk

When I was returning Network Effect to Hoopla, I realized I‘d also checked out this book. So I switched to it as my new #audiowalk book from Blackout, since I own that one. Henry Meloux has disappeared, along with Cork‘s wife, Rainy, and another woman, Delores.

I love Murderbot, and this book was no exception. We get a new character, 3, who I hope to see again. I like where Wells is headed with the ending of this installment. Started Connie Wells‘ Blackout as my new #audiowalk book.

Murderbot just needs to accept that he‘s got emotions. Someone suggests that he and Art are friends (which they are) and that idea offends him quite deeply. #audiowalk

Yay, Art! I think. Art‘s a little ambiguous in this book. #audiowalk

I‘ve been sick with bronchitis for the last week, so I haven‘t been walking. Today was my first walk in over a week. I‘ve had a little trouble getting into Network Effect until today. Now I‘m enjoying it. #audiowalk

More Murderbot for my new #audiowalk book. I‘m used to the 3 hour ones — Network Effect is over 12!

This was a nice, quiet, gentle read. Exactly what I was in the mood for. I couldn‘t really relate to Takako nor did I really understand her uncle, Saturo, but I liked them and their stories in spite of that.

For some reason, this book took me longer to finish than her first book; maybe because it was my night time book. I decided to finish it up on my #audiowalk and ended up enjoying it. For me, the author really stuck the ending. It was perfect for the characters. Roo Roo, the undead rooster, is my favorite character. Murder and Mamon is my new night time book. I haven‘t picked a new one for my walks yet.

I liked this second Vera Wong book better than the first, although it deals with a some heavy topics including human trafficking. Vera learns some things about herself along the way to solving a murder. #audiowalk

Lower end of the pick scale for me. Like many of King‘s books, it could have been a little shorter. I liked the way King handled a parent‘s love for their child. There is only a vague whisper of the supernatural in the story; the horror here is nature and illness. I saw a goat in someone‘s front yard on my walk. #audiowalk #LosersClub

I still have three hours left in this book! When I first read this, I wasn‘t married, wasn‘t even thinking about getting married, and had no children. The parts with Tad are more difficult now that I have children and a grandchild. #audiowalk

According to the weather app, it was 89° but felt like 94° when I went for my #audiowalk. It didn‘t feel that hot to me. There was a nice breeze, and I enjoyed my walk.

Tad and Donna are now dealing with Cujo, but there are still 7 hours left. I don‘t remember thinking this when I first read it, but this book could‘ve been shorter. #audiowalk

More Cujo on my short #audiowalk. I forgot this book has no characters I really like in it, except for Tad — who is only 4.

Listening to Cujo for #LosersClub. I read it when it first came out, but don‘t remember all the details, so this should be interesting. King has said he doesn‘t remember writing the book; he was so high. I don‘t recall noticing anything weird, narratively, at the time. #audiowalk

There‘s so much about this book that I liked (discussion of historical, biblical women and discussion of texts where women are mentioned), and so much that I didn‘t (the sections that felt like her own testimony and an invitation as well — that part was too long). Overall, though, I‘d give this book a pick. I wish she‘d examined the biblical passages more and given us more women‘s stories. Started Cujo as my new #audiowalk book. What a change!

I‘ve been interested in this book for awhile, so, since I found it on Hoopla, I decided to make it my new #audiowalk book. So far, it‘s interesting. The foreword is by Rachel Held Evans, who I‘ve always liked.

I‘m ambivalent about this book. There are a lot of things I liked about the story, but there are also several things that stretched my credulity a little. I didn‘t understand the point of Shay‘s husband at all — he barely appears except by phone and text. The story is tense but I don‘t understand how Shay got away with some of the things she did. I debated between a pick and a so-so. I liked it better than In My Dreams I Hold a Knife. #audiowalk

The amount of internalized misogyny by the women in this book is hard for me. I don‘t have a lot of self-esteem, but they are at another level. #audiowalk

Okay, I‘m not really interested in reading about BDSM or other kinks — especially when they revolve around misogyny— but the mystery is interesting and I‘m hoping these people get their comeuppance. #audiowalk

I did manage to finish this before Audible took it from the Plus program. It was slightly better than The Moon Sister, but, because Electra becomes interested in the causes of civil rights and drug abuse prevention, Riley becomes overly pedantic about those causes, making the book drag. Learning about the Happy Valley Set in Africa was interesting, however. They were some unhappy people. Started Ashley Winstead‘s The Last Housewife. #audiowalk

I‘ve got 11 hours left; I really hope I can finish it by the 12th. I‘m liking this one better than The Moon Sister. #audiowalk

I usually take a break between the Seven Sisters books, but this one is in Audible Plus right now, which means I don‘t have to use a credit for it — it goes back into the regular catalog on 8/12. I have 13 hours left. At first I didn‘t like Electra — she‘s so emotionally needy — but she‘s grown on me. #audiowalk

This is my least favorite of the Seven Sisters novels, so far. The setting in Grenada and Sacromonte, among the Roma cave dwellers was interesting, but I disliked Lucia — she is self-absorbed, selfish, uninteresting and uninterested in anything but her dancing. Tiggy is more wishy-washy. I wanted to like her better than I did. #audiowalk

I‘ve got 6 hours left in this book, and so far, it is my least favorite of the Seven Sisters books. It‘s not that the story isn‘t interesting — it is — but Tiggy‘s grandmother, Lucia, is insufferable. Also, if one more character said, “¡Dios mio!” one more time, I was going to go into the audiobook and smack them. #audiowalk

Periodically I decide I‘m going to read a book that I‘ve started multiple times over the years but never finished. Those decisions led me to finally finish In Cold Blood and Moby Dick, both of which I liked. This time, it‘s Beloved. I‘ve owned it since it came out and started it many times. I bought a new copy for incentive. Next might be Clive Barker‘s The Great and Secret Show.

I was having a nice little outdoor walk listening to The Moon Sister when, Boom! Thunder, lightning, then heavy rain. Luckily I was near a building. I had to call my son to come get me. Finished my #audiowalk at the gym. I haven‘t decided if I like Tiggy yet, but I was so sure that she would be the sister I‘d love.

I love the Murderbot books, and this one was no exception. I‘m invested in what he will do next. This time, I listened to the single narrator version not the dramatization. Both are good. Continued with The Moon Sister. #audiowalk

I‘ve read better Bachman books. This one, to my mind, was a bit rambling and could‘ve been a short story or a novella. #LosersClub Started The Moon Sister back up on my #audiowalk.

I‘m not really loving Roadwork, but I will finish it. It was warm today, but there was such a nice breeze by the bay that I was able to walk outside. #audiowalk #LosersClub

While I liked Unshrinking, I did find some of her arguments to be a bit off. Yes, BMI is a very flawed measurement; many people who aren‘t obese end up being classified that way because of it. However, Manne seems to argue that there‘s really nothing you can do about being fat, so you might as well not bother. As a fat person, I have a problem with this. I know skinny doesn‘t always equal healthy and fat doesn‘t always equal unhealthy. ⬇️

Listening to Lord of Light for #ClassicLSBC — it‘s the first Zelazny book I‘ve ever read. #audiowalk

There are two types of audiobooks for this title — one with one narrator and a dramatization with several. Both are good, but the dramatization isn‘t a big improvement over the other as most of it is through the eyes of our one murderbot. The story is good, but I missed ART, which is fair since our protagonist did too. #audiowalk

The Atticus Punt section of the book has picked up and is not quite so draggy now. I‘m still only about halfway through though. #audiowalk. The breeze was wonderful today.

Short walk today so I didn‘t get much listening in. I‘m still not sure how I feel about this novel, but I‘ve still got some time to figure it out. #audiowalk

Continued with the tagged book on my #audiowalk. I think I like the Hawthorne and Horowitz series better, but this one is decent too.

I liked All Systems Red and liked this one even better as we see our Murderbot attempting to navigate human society more. I think I‘ve found a new series. 😊. I started the tv show also and liked it too. I finished the book in the middle of my #audiowalk, so I started The Moon Sister.

The Atticus Punt sections of this novel seem a bit draggy to me. I don‘t remember that being the case in the other two books in this series. #audiowalk
