Read My Lips
I… I have nothing to say for myself. Here is my 65+ fall book haul.
I read 3 books in the month of November. This is my wrap up.
I attended YALLFest again this year with my husband, and friend Diana. We stayed in the same hotel with friends/BookTubers Kat, Chloe and Elizabeth.
I read 7 books in the month of October. This is my wrap up.
I stopped by the hotel during Indie Bookfest 2017 to drop off some presents and have some cake in celebration of Chloe’s 20th birthday.
I don’t read fantasy much. It’s hard for me to keep up with all the characters. I really liked this one though and will be continuing with the series.
From the minute I opened this book I was captivated by Merit Voss and her quirky family. Merit likes to deal with life’s unfortunate events by collecting trophies she didn’t win. In addition to trophies, Merit has found herself a collector and keeper of family secrets. Eventually unable to carry the burden she makes a spontaneous decision to leave her family behind for good. But not before confessing each of their lies. When things don’t go as planned, she’s left to deal with the consequence of her actions and to repair the relationships that were damaged.
I’m convinced the social media “story” feature was created to take pictures of food. It’s so we can share what we’re eating in the moment without having to delete hundreds of food pics later. There’s something to be said about photographing a thoughtfully plated dish. My husband and I have gotten into arguments over him picking food off my plate before I’ve captured the perfect shot. He should know better by now.
The audiobook for Sleeping Giants was so amazing I decided to borrow Waking Gods from the library to listen to along side the text. Unfortunately, I didn’t end up enjoying it as much. It contained a lot more action, which sounds great, except it literally didn’t. There was an emptiness surrounding some of the heavier action scenes which made events feel like they were taking place inside a vacuum. Eva’s voice was supposed to be that of a child but sounded exactly like an adult playing a child. It took me out of the story every time she spoke. Despite this, I’m still interested in the story and will be picking up the next book. It’s not that I disliked it, I just didn’t love it.
