This book grabbed me from the start; I hope it keeps up the pace. The combination of casual first person narrative and a podcast makes it particularly good for audio. I was finally able to get in a decent #audiowalk today!

The temperature got up in the 40s today; I walked with my jacket open for a good portion of my walk. That‘s a Mardi Gras snowman in the pic. 😊 While I like this book, I can‘t figure out why I still have over 4 hours left. What‘s left to tell that would take that long? #audiowalk
Boy, was it a bit chilly this morning! When I went to walk, it was technically 40°, which I can do with a light jacket; however, the “feels like” temp was 29°, so I had to layer a bit AND wear a jacket and a hat. The characters in this book are just making me so sad for them all. #audiowalk
Today‘s audio walk. Its supposed to be freezing next week, getting outside while the cold is manageable!

I‘m enjoying this book, but I sometimes get a little lost for a minute with the jumps in time. We are supposed to get a lot of rain tomorrow and then snow, so I‘m trying to get in my #audiowalk while I can!
pickApparently my complaint about the #ClassicLSFBC books is always going to be the lack of imagination regarding race, sex, and gender roles. Here it‘s mired in the 1950s; Bradbury can‘t even imagine that Martian society might be set up differently. Some stories (Night Meeting) are beautiful, while others (Way in the Middle of the Air) are deeply disturbing. Bradbury‘s writing style is interesting — it‘s suggestive of constant movement. #audiowalk
This book is very different from what I thought it would be; it‘s more a series of interconnected stories than a novel. I‘m enjoying it so far. #ClassicLSFBC #audiowalk
pickWhile I did end up liking this — I liked Star and was pushing for her to get a life separate from her sister — the ending felt a little anticlimactic. I had a picture in my head of Jamie Gertz, who played Star in The Lost Boys. I also started The Martian Chronicles for #ClassicLSFBC for my new #audiowalk book.
I have about 3 hours left in this, so I should finish it soon. It ended up not being boring at all. I was afraid twisting my knee was going to set me back a lot, but my physical therapy went well yesterday and I had a good, long #audiowalk today with no pain.
