reading update 05/09/13

How is it already Thursday again and I need to update you on what I’m reading?! I might need to make this an every other week update.  I went through a bit of a lull this week. I was supposed to be reading The Name of the Wind but I never really got into it, and didn’t want to pick up another book when I was supposed to be reading that one…..but I’ve moved on for now. Last night I picked up a book and am already 160 pages in.  I love to read but sometimes I just get stuck.

What I finished Reading this week –

I finished last week, The last letter from your lover by Jojo Moyes. I loved it. This woman wakes up after a car accident and slowly comes to remember what her life was like before the accident after finding a letter that a lover sent her.

 I need to get my hands on everything ever written by Jojo

I listened to Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu. It was fine. I didn’t love or hate it but I thought the story was weird. My friend Brittany said that it incorporated like every nursery story every written, which I didn’t get because I apparently know no nursery stories.  So yeah, not a huge success for me.

 And last but not least I finished listening to Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys.  People love love this with a passion. On a book club board I frequent people are head over heals for it.  I thought it was good, not great, and in the end I felt like it kind of ended quickly and left me hanging.  So eh, read it or don’t, you won’t be missing out.

Currently reading/listening to –

Walking Disaster – I started this since I couldn’t get into The name of the wind.  I of course love it, I loved Beautiful Disaster.  This book is the same story but told from another person’s perspective.   So good!

I am listening in the car to The Host.  I like it.  it’s by the same author that wrote the Twilight series.  I’m intrigued.

And on my phone (in the office and while gardening) I’m listening to The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas by John Boyne.  I’m not very far in so I don’t have any thoughts to share with you on it yet.

What’s up Next –

Sooo many books! And I just had 2 more come in at the library.  Not getting into The Name of the Wind has put me behind, must catch up!
