pickSecond book finished for #deweys24hourreadathon and I LOVED it. If you liked Ready Player One or Warcraft, you will enjoy this book too. Cool thing is that even if you don‘t game you‘ll understand this book. Word or warning, have the sequel on hand when you finish! (Guest appearance by Cleo.)
pickFirst book finished for #deweys24hourreadathon ! I started it before but I finished it during. Really good book. I wanted to shake a few characters but I really enjoyed this book and narration. Definitely check it out!
My reading buddy has been napping this whole time... #deweys24hourreadathon
Wife found my glasses! Now I can read this. Though I am LOVING “The City in the Middle of the Night,” I have been wanting to read this. Yay! #deweys24hourreadathon
I can‘t find my glasses so I‘m starting the #deweys24hourreadathon with an audiobook. #fail
This will be the first book I‘ll read for tomorrow‘s #deweys24hourreadathon Also have “Warcross” and “Girls made of Snow and Glass” as physical books. Have “The City in the Middle of the Night” by Charlie Jane Anders on audio queued up, “Check, Please! Year One” on my iPad, and “The Summer of Jordi Perez” on my Nook. Snacks ready, water bottles filled, kitten napping, wife set with pizza for the weekend. Let‘s sleep to wake early!
Finished the Binti trilogy and I have feeeeeels. Next on deck... more feels! #24in48
Hours 30 challenge. What is your favorite under the radar book. I LOVE this book. It‘s sweet and it got me back into reading after a horrible slump (and reminded me how much I love f/f romances) #24in48
After a two hour audio break, back to my printed books to read the last book in the Binti trilogy #24in48
Challenge for Hour 6: best First lin. As readers, who hasn‘t thought that at least once? #24in48
Oops. Fell asleep last night (luckily I was realizing I was and paused my timer) but finished Binti this morning and starting my second book. Yay! #24in48
False start!
EDIT: clock was wrong. I have it set early to motivate myself to get out of bed for work. Forgot about that.
My reading buddy for the night is set with her own snacks as we wait for the last bit of time to pass #24in48
She only got up for food and water, she didn‘t want us to go to bed last night. Indigo is a great reading buddy. Night everyone! (I‘m exhausted. How do you people do the 24 hour one?)
So... close... (and yes, my weird dog is still hanging out with me). #24in48
Calling it a night and will finish tomorrow. This has been a lot of fun #24in48
Yay for finally getting the chance to read the published version of this! I really enjoy her work #24in48
On to trade collection 2 of the night. I‘ve heard good things about this one #24in48
Geez, who does this sound like?
My first read for the #24in48 ! I was supposed to read this months ago for my book club I am doing with my little brother. Ooops.
Oops, got caught up with work and forgot to post about my amazing bookmarks I got from @litenthusiast ! These are so awesome and I got some yummy hot chocolate and marshmallow top! I LOVE the Van Gogh one 😍 actually I adore all three ❤️🧡💛💚💙 #bookmarkswap
pickThe story behind the making of The Room is entertaining as hell. Towards the end I got annoyed with Greg and there is one part where he came off as REALLY BITTER and blaming Tommy for his lack of acting career. Again, you took the job dude, you were the only one who read the whole script beforehand so it‘s not like you didn‘t know how bad it was going to be. But other than that, really fun book. A must read for anyone who has seen The Room.
pickThis story takes place before the first book & is basically the Origin Story of Jack & Jill. I really enjoyed it though it is dark & lots spoilers for book 1. And before anyone starts the “Jack and Jill‘s parents aren‘t realistic!” griping, I spent a lot of time working childcare and met parents like this. Seanan McGuire narrates this & does a very good job! I had listened to her narration of a short story of hers but this really shows her skills.
pickThis was a bit darker than I thought it would be. But it doesn‘t make light of the kid‘s situation. I listened to it on audiobook and it is a full cast performance with narration by Tim Curry. My only hesitation on continuing the audiobooks is that they are not all full cast narration but not all of them (on Audible at least) are narrated by Tim Curry. The author narrates some random ones. It‘s annoying and jarring when this happens in a series.
pickI really enjoyed this! There were parts I didn‘t fully understand but I never felt completely lost or stupid. A really great place to dip your toes into astrophysics. He reads the audiobook and does a great job. Caveat, Neil deGrasse Tyson has been accused of sexual assault publicly and from what I have read there are people in the field who aren‘t surprised (I had already bought this book when this information was brought to light.)
so-soI am not sure if I liked this book or not. At times I flew through chapters & others that felt like a slog & I had to reread parts. It was beautifully written though confusing at times. I had never heard of this lady until I picked up this book. It seems like I would have enjoyed it more if I knew anything about the real person. But it does take an interesting look at fame. Basically nothing has changed over the centuries. Overall, glad I read it.
