This week I feel like I'm starting to get some of my reading mojo back. For the first time in what seems like months, I actually listened to an audiobook while cooking dinner and putting laundry away. For a while now I've only been listening to audiobooks in the car.
I still haven't finished reading an entire novel in what seems like many weeks, but at least I've climbed the audiobook hurdle. Maybe now I can climb the novel hurdle too.
Last week I finished listening:
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
This book is impossible to review without giving too much away. All I can say is that it will mess with your mind until the very last page.
Currently reading:
Mistik Lake by Martha Brooks
See Me After Class: Advice for Teachers by Teachers by Roxanna Elden
Currently listening:
Requiem by Lauren Oliver
Sarah Drew is an amazing narrator. She feels every emotion in this novel. I adore her.

It's been a busy week for me, too. I didn't finish anything, but I acquired a lot.
ReplyDeleteHere's my It's Monday. I hope you will stop by!
I just recently finished Gone Girl also. I can't say I liked it, but I couldn't stop reading. Definitely interesting.
ReplyDelete'Advice for Teachers by Teachers' sounds useful! You should also check out Bill Roger's 'Cracking the Hard Class' - it's great. :-)
ReplyDeleteThese liool like such interesting books - the teacher advice book especially (maybe because testing season is upon us!).
ReplyDeleteDid you end up liking Gone Girl? I really liked it! I agree it is a REALLY hard book to review without giving any spoilers. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI loved Gone Girl!! It was the best of Flynn's books.
ReplyDeleteGone Girl was certainly one of those books with train wrecks for characters . . . you just couldn't look away. I definitely had to reach for something light and fluffy after that one!

Looks like we are reading/listening to the same book: Requiem. I can't wait to finish this book - so fantastic. I found Gone Girl very dark. I have a slightly allergic reaction to adult novels.
ReplyDeleteCarrie, I have the same reaction to adult novels. I just find adult problems really boring compared to kid/teen problems. Although the problems in GONE GIRL were certainly not boring. Woa was that book insane.
