When a book has the phrase “cold as a frog‘s balls” in the first sentence, I think that it‘s a good omen. 😂

I still can‘t decide how I feel about the ending. But I did really enjoy this book and liked her writing. The fact that I can‘t really decide who the book was about is both the best and worst thing about the book I think?

svenezia (I‘m probably not going to start the tagged book yet, I bailed on that author‘s other book so I don‘t know if I‘ll be able to get through her writing) Anyone actually like this one? (edited) 6y
Lcsmcat I liked it on audio. It‘s not great literature, but it was a good story to listen to on my commute. 6y

The Heavens May Fall | Allen Eskens
post image

It was a slow start but once it picked up it was like a really engaging, extended Law and Order episode. And one of the narrators sounded like a Baldwin brother 😂

Reecaspieces I am about to start this one. Glad to know about the slow start. I think most of his books are that way 6y
svenezia @Reecaspieces definitely glad I stuck with it though! I‘m about to start another book of his 6y
Reecaspieces @svenezia I was asked to review that one and could not get into it. So I didn‘t finish it. But it had wonderful reviews. Just too slow starting. But I bet the audible will be much better. Let me know what you think. 6y
CouronneDhiver I‘ve really enjoyed all three Eskens novels that I tried. 😊 A slower paced story is almost always my jam 6y

Help Me Please | Barbara D'Amato

I have 1 Audible credit and 2 BoTM credits! Anyone have any recommendations for me before my broke butt deletes my subscriptions in favor of the library???

Bookzombie I‘m all about the library. 🙂Have you read Trevor Noah‘s Memoir? It‘s excellent on audio. 7y
Bookzombie I don‘t subscribe to BotM but I added this one to my TBR today after seeing everyone pick it today. (edited) 7y
svenezia @Bookzombie finally someone commented thank you! 😂 I actually just read Born A Crime a few weeks ago on audio and loved it- I used audible for it actually lol. I‘ll check out the second tagged book, thanks!! 7y
Bookzombie @svenezia I listen to a lot of audio, but a lot of it‘s series. I wanted to pick something excellent for you to use your credit on. You could also check out these books 7y

Bookzombie If you are using an iPhone, take your pictures as a square and it will fit perfectly. Not sure if Android has the same thing, but there also apps that allow you to square your pics. 🙂 7y

The Time Traveler's Wife | Audrey Niffenegger

Now that I read the book I hate the movie 😬 It makes Claire seem so weak, the trajectory of the movie makes absolutely no sense on its own, they change a million things, it makes Henry seem like a total dick. #bailing

Cosyreader I felt the same. The ending was rubbish compared to the book! 7y
svenezia @Amy-Laura definitely! It made their relationship so obligatory rather than loving 7y

Took a trip to the library for some of the books on my #freakyfriday list by @Gayan ! Put in some holds on Overdrive for audiobooks for some of the other selections too (if that‘s not cheating) 😉 I‘ve heard of a few of the classics but haven‘t read anything on my list so I‘m excited!

Clwojick Love how excited you are! I can‘t wait either! 🤗 7y
Gayan This makes me so happy. All three of those are amazing. 7y

svenezia @Gayan yaaassss! Those ones are so good and are super fast paced so you‘ll go through them fast 7y
svenezia @Gayan I got the time travelers wife on audio from overdrive- I watched the movie but never read the book 7y
Gayan I may read that one again soon. 7y
monalyisha Audiobooks definitely aren‘t cheating! In fact, when I made my list, I made it a point to specify if certain books were particularly great on audio! 7y

I'm Fine... and Other Lies | Whitney Cummings
Pickpick

I went into this book with little to no expectation; I don‘t particularly think Whitney Cummings is funny but like her as a person (as much as you can without knowing someone personally). This book is intended to be a self-help book, and I have to say it gave me a lot of much needed perspective. I highly recommend the audiobook rather than a physical copy, as her reading her own words back and hearing her reactions gives them more weight.

As much as I expected the ending, I loved how triumphant and topical it was. The all of a sudden way that these women realized their own strength and power was very satisfying.

I love the way old books smell-- this book was published in 1938 and has the great dialogue to match. Sarcasm just isn't as smart anymore as it used to be.

The Husband's Secret | Liane Moriarty

Pickpick

I have to stop reading books that start with the same letter!
The Husband's Secret kept me entertained. I thought the epilogue was a weird thing that should have been left for the reader to wonder, and I was a little dissatisfied with the ending in general. Overall though it was good!

Am I the only one who thought this book was super bizarre?

CouronneDhiver I haven't read it, but I've seen quite a few mixed/conflicted comments lately... makes me wonder if I should bother...? 8y
svenezia It's just very far-fetched and made me feel so confused/weird lol. Most of the book was good but the way they explain how everything happened is just bizarre. @CouronneDhiver 8y
Linda906 I was really enjoying the book...until the ending ruined it for me. I guess I'm not as good at suspending disbelief as I thought. 😒 8y
MyNamesParadise The ending RUINED it for me and I will never read this author again! 8y
Reganw I agree. I was mad I'd spent the time reading it at the end. I have never felt that way about a book. I need to give it a few days and then assess my anger. Lol 8y
