Stand out was definitely Remote Sympathy but Unsinkable Greta & The Change were both enjoyable, especially on audio. I was disappointed with the Sedaris and Ozeki just wasn‘t my jam. I‘m slowly taking my time with Braiding Sweetgrass.

TrishB It‘s still good to have a really great one 😁 3y

Cinfhen Yes!!!! 💯 and I LOVED my new bookmark that went along with the new book @TrishB 😘😘 3y

TrishB Cool 😘😘 3y

squirrelbrain The Ozeki wasn‘t quite for me either - but a good week nonetheless! 😘 3y

The last week of #MiddleGradeMarchThroughTime was a good one. I read 4 middle grade books, they were all four stars. The #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead The Blue Castle was excellent, except for one part toward the end. I knocked off a Star, so four stars for that one also. @megnews @BarbaraJean #BookReport @Cinfhen

Chrissyreadit They all look good 😍 I liked The Blue Castle too. 3y

Cinfhen Beautiful book covers and they all look like excellent reads 😍 3y

Sparks like stars in Between Shades of Gray we're both heartbreaking, especially after what's happening to Ukraine. 😢 I'm looking forward to starting the Golden Road next. My library offered blind date with a book. Does anyone want to take a guess, what do you think this book is?

Cinfhen I really loved

Mostly #MoreMehThanYeah 🤨If I had to choose one, it would be Hour of the Witch 🧙‍♀️ but all 5 books were 3 star reads.
February has yet to produce a five star read…I don‘t think I had a four star either but we still have 9 days to go.
In Olympic news my niece didn‘t have the cleanest program today but she kept her butt off the ice and can proudly call herself an Olympian 🙌🏻 In less than 8 months she went from no ice to Olympic ice 🤩

TrishB That‘s a fantastic achievement ❤️ you will all be very proud. 3y

Cinfhen @TrishB 😘😘 absolutely!!! Can‘t wait to celebrate with her, as no one from the family was allowed to travel to Beijing 3y

TrishB Bloody covid shit again! Not having your family there must suck. 3y

merelybookish Congrats to your niece! Not many can say they skated on Olympic ice! 3y

Cinfhen Ughhhhh @TrishB COVID bites SO BAD!!! One team had to withdraw YESTERDAY, day of competition (after being there for 2 + weeks ) because they tested positive for Covid & another team who was recovering from Covid completely fell apart due to exhaustion & lack of training the last week. It was so sad to watch. It was a weird Olympic experience and I can‘t wait to hear all the stories @merelybookish Apparently Hailey played ping pong with 👇🏽 3y

Cinfhen gold medalist Alex Hall the other night in the rec room of Olympic village😊That‘s gotta be fun 🤩 surreal experience (edited) 3y

I had company last weekend and the beginning of the week, so not a lot of reading got done.

I did enjoy the two I finished, and the two bails could be just a case of not being the right time for them.

#bookreport #bookspinbingo

Another good reading week here. Two really good queer graphic novels: Heartstopper 3 and I‘m a Wild Seed. Finished my reread of an old fantasy chunkster: The Ghatti‘s Tale. And a backlist Picoult that‘s been on my TBR for years- Vanishing Acts. I still needs to post my review for that one.

Making my way towards a Bingo (maybe 😉.)

Cinfhen, TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 3y

Cinfhen That row is looking very promising 😍 3y

#bookreport @Cinfhen

Almost exactly as planned - I read Moab is my Washpot (loved) a couple of graphic novels (so enjoyable) and started Tracks which is amazing AND it hurts my heart 💔 Unexpectedly I made a big dent in Proust and I‘m over 80% now and really enjoying it. 😍 Lots of good reading this week and wish that for all of Litsy!

TrishB Cool 👍🏻 5y

KarenUK Love the Giant Days gals.... so much nostalgia for my uni years 😂 5y

Centique @KarenUK awww! I think it makes me wish my uni days were like theirs! I never lived in a hostel or anything like that - looks like an experience 😍 5y

Cinfhen Look at you 😜wonderful week, Flea xx 5y

Centique @Cinfhen 😘 back at ya lovely Cindy xx 5y

#BookReport Week 13
I had a busy week!!
Finished lots of books & knocked off lots of challenge prompts thanks to audiobooks 🎧🖤My favorite of the week was actually a physical book and that was Me by Sir Elton John 🙌🏻
My dud of the week was a book I had been looking forward to,but it just didn‘t come together for me;Susan Faludi‘s memoir
And Dopesick was 5 stars for content but the audio was not that good. Narrator/author had a grating twang 😝

DGRachel You had a great week! I really love these week-in-review posts! 5y

Nute I started listening to podcast as I drive to and from work. I hope that this will help me finally move in the direction of audiobooks.🤞🏽 5y

TrishB A brilliant week 👍🏻😘 5y

Cinfhen I‘d say it took a bit of time with the audiobooks @Nute but the right narrator can really enhance the book and change your entire experience. I love the voices of Dion Graham and Bahni Turpin 🙌🏻There are some others also who are pretty amazing 5y

Cinfhen Thanks @DGRachel @TrishB I love seeing what people are reading and enjoying!!! 5y

Bookzombie What a great week! 👏🏻👏🏻 5y

Megabooks 🔥🔥🔥 5y

KarenUK How are you liking the Christie on audio? I usually love her books on audio.... is it narrated by David Suchet? 5y

KarenUK And which prompt is it for? (I‘m pretty sure it must be for a challenge!😂) 5y

BarbaraBB So many books in just one week!! 🤩 5y

Cinfhen I‘ll have to look who the narrator is @KarenUK he‘s actually very good but in truth, I‘m NOT a Christie fan. So it‘s a bit of a slough to get through. It‘s for #Detective #JennyIs30 and not sure if it works for any others. It was available for free from OverDrive as I‘m already out of Hoopla borrows for January 5y

Cinfhen It‘s been a cold & rainy week @Bookzombie @Megabooks so I‘ve been indoors a lot / listening to LOTS of audiobooks 🎧 5y

Cinfhen You‘re right @KarenUK the narrator is David Suchet! And now the story is picking up ❣️ (edited) 5y

KarenUK If you ever get a chance to see the 1976 movie version, it‘s one of my guilty pleasures, and has the most amazing all star cast! Bette Davis, Maggie Smith, Mia Farrow, David Niven, Peter Ustinov, Angela Lansbury! It‘s so much fun! 5y

Cinfhen The remake coming out in October 2020 has a great cast too!! @KarenUK but I think I already figured out the murderer and now I have 3 hours of audio left 😜 (edited) 5y

KarenUK 🤓🔍😂👍💕 5y

It‘s #bookreport time. Been a slow week for personal reading because of a shake up at work the necessitated working from home several evenings this week, plus the weather is triggering migraines galore. I‘ve gotten no reading done today and it‘s already after 4 pm. *sigh* Anyway, I finished the two audiobooks on the top row and made progress in the three books below. Not a stellar week. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cinfhen

Mccall0113 Fell better soon 5y

Cinfhen Sounds like a trying week ~ hope things have return to “normal” and migraines are under control 5y

MemoirsForMe Feel better and wishing you calmer days soon! ❤️ 5y

I doubt I‘ll finish or start anything today, so I‘m going to do my #bookreport early. This was a week of bails. Both non-fiction ARCs bored me, but I was in a mood this week and I‘ve been migraine-y and emotional, so it‘s probably more me than either book and Cilka‘s Journey was all me. I finally started Ausma‘s book and am enjoying it, and got four audiobooks done for #MountTBR. So, overall a mixed bag of a week. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cinfhen

Cinfhen I‘d say you had a good week! If I‘m feeling migraine-y my reading is way off too because I‘m emotionally off too!! 5y

DGRachel @Cinfhen Yeah, I‘ve really been a mess all week. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Im definitely counting all the MountTBR books as a win. 5y

#BookReport

🎧✅Dracula ~ full cast was excellent 🌟🌟🌟🌟
📖✅Monster of Florence ~ 🌟🌟🌟🌟#NF #TrueCrime
📖🚫Lilli De Jong - bailed 🙈- more me than book
📖Floating Feldman‘s- still really enjoying
🎧 🚫Member of the Family Bailed🙄not what I was hoping for/ Narrator was terrible
🎧In Pieces - #NF Only 2 hours into Sally Field‘s memoir & it‘s shaping up to be pretty explosive 🧨 She‘s a fantastic writer & her story is very powerful 👇🏽

Cinfhen ADD ON
📖✅Men We Reap ~ #NF well written but a little sterile- wasn‘t a fan of the book‘s structure. Prefer JW fiction this was only a so-so (edited) 5y

TrishB Good week 👍🏻 5y

Megabooks Glad to see this is good. Interested in your final thoughts

Sace @Cinfhen I remember having to adjust to the structure as well. I'm glad I read a physical copy so I could easily go back and forth and flip through when I needed too. 5y

Reviewsbylola I will say LDJ is not a quick or easy read. I read it on vacation and I wish I had read it at a different time. 5y

Cinfhen I‘m LOVING the Feldman‘s @Megabooks it reminds me a lot of

This Is Where I Leave You

Cinfhen I definitely had a good week @TrishB and stayed pretty much on forecast 🧡Men We Reap was an impromptu BuddyRead with @Hooked_on_books 5y

Cinfhen I found Lilli to be a little overwrought and trite @Reviewsbylola but I think I had too many other books in progress and Lilli was just the least interesting 😣 5y

BarbaraBB Great overview! 5y

valeriegeary 👏👏👏 5y

Centique Just on your note about a terrible narrator - how about we lock Stephen Fry in a room and make him narrate ALL the books ?😂😂 5y

Cinfhen OMG!! Yessssss to Stephen Fry and Dion Graham @Centique or Jason Reynolds 5y
