It‘s back to To Say Nothing of the Dog for my #audiowalk. It‘s much funnier than The Doomsday Book, and I have read Three Men in a Boat, which gets mentioned a lot, so that‘s an extra layer of understanding. Temperatures were cooler today because of all the rain we‘ve had, so there was a nice breeze on my walk. Mothers‘ Day flowers from my daughter.
Short #audiowalk today because of the potential for rain, so I didn‘t get much listening in.
pickLow end of the pick scale. I‘d have liked it better if I‘d known from the beginning that it‘s really a series of interconnected perspectives of characters that will never meet, but I kept wondering when all the threads would connect. Still, it‘s a ridiculous but funny premise that Scalzi uses to also be thoughtful. Wil Wheaton, as always, is a great narrator. Continued with The Dead Zone on my #audiowalk
I‘m switching between listening to this for #LosersClub and To Say Nothing of the Dog for my #audiowalk. I‘ve read The Dead Zone multiple times but think it might hit differently right now. Nice breeze. For awhile it looked like it might rain but didn‘t since I was prepared with my rain jacket. 😄
This book is so chaotic! The Vulcan statue with two of my favorite replicas of it. The striped one is in Vulcan Park, while other is in the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. #audiowalk
I am laughing more with this book than I did with The Doomsday Book, and I love the references to Three Men in a Boat. My daughter has finals, so we are in Birmingham. It‘s nowhere near as flat as where I live, so some places are more difficult to walk. #audiowalk
pickThere are many things I like about this book including the questions about human nature, religion, and monstrosity that it addresses. At first I was annoyed by the fact that Ruth bases her whole idea of a wonderful romance on Twilight, but her world has been severely limited and it was a miracle she found that. The ending was derivative, but it fits the characters. #audiowalk. I started To Say Nothing of the Dog as my next walking book.
I only have three hours left, and I‘m still not positive who is responsible for some deaths yet. It‘s starting to get warmer again, but I‘m still okay in the low 80s with a breeze. #audiowalk
Well that‘s a proposal to melt a woman‘s heart: “You were always a good girl growing up and didn‘t become a slut. Marry me.” I‘d accept that in a heartbeat. 🙄. I can‘t stand most of the people in this town. Ruth and Everett keep making some pretty questionable choices. It started raining while I was walking; luckily, I‘d brought my rain jacket. #audiowalk
I really liked This Book Will Bury Me, so I thought I‘d try another Winstead book. This one was appealing to me for more than just the title (which is still a good one). I like the setting— south Louisiana — too. I used to live in Central LA, and I went to LSU. So far, I‘m liking this book a lot, although I dislike a lot of the power figures in the town. #audiowalk
