I’m struggling with Queenie…a lot. I’ll muddle through it but Harold Fry is better.

I gave up. It was too boring for me.

Oh I would like to hear what you thought of City on Fire. Was that an audio? Some say it could’ve been quite a bit shorter. What say ye? Good writing?

I read it as an e-galley. I really liked it a lot. I can see how others might find it too long, but to me, it was so reminiscent of a classic, where they took the time to build the characters and delve into the details.

Ooh, Stephen King. I really need to get back to IT. My audio expired before I could renew it, and even though I later got it with an Audible credit, I’ve been lazy about listening.

This week I wanna get back into nonfiction with Unfair by Adam Benforado and Pathologies of Power by Paul Farmer. I’ll also try to fit in A Clash of Kings, which is the second installment in the Great Shaina and Her Boyfriend Read ASoIaF Aloud to Each Other project.

Have a great week!

You definitely need to get back to It. This would be a perfect week for it, right?

I love the fact that you guys are reading a series aloud to each other. How are you doing with all those names?

The cover of that Nora Roberts book is so pretty. I haven’t read a Roberts book in too long. I hope you’re enjoying it!

I’m going to start back up with this meme this week. I miss participating in it. I started Secret Sisters this weekend on a whim and like it so far.

I actually never started the new Roberts. I was and then I got caught up in the new Atwood. Oops!

Went to my shelf and pulled out a Harlan Coben novel, Stay Close. Trying to listen to Queenie Henessey too

What do you think of the Queenie Henessey? I will admit I really struggled listening to it.
