What I'm Reading Monday - Split

My reading from last week doesn't leave much for me to report.

I finished listening to Half Brother.  I loved it!  I was very satisfied with how the story ended and I can't wait to talk about it with Kellee!!  Oh one thing I didn't like was that the first and last tracks were recordings either telling me it was the end of that CD or recapping the last minute or so of the previous CD.  Annoying!


My next audiobook choice was Split by Swati Avasthi.  I am a few discs in and I am enjoying it.  I am curious what will happen and it is keeping me guessing as to what will happen next.  It is a book that is making me think about what I would do if I was placed in a situation like the main character, Jace.

Yes, I am still reading Lola and the Boy Next Door.  I do have to say that I am making a point to get into bed a little earlier than normal so that I can read a chapter or two.  It is part of my new routine I am trying to develop.  I am liking the turn of events I have encountered in the last few chapters I have read.  I can feel the tug and pull that Lola is experiencing and although I have never experienced that I can definitely understand it.

I am reading another book on my iphone.  Undercover in High Heels by Gemma Halliday.  I have read the first two books in this series and enjoyed them.  I just find it very difficult to read on my iphone between it being small and back lit like a computer screen.  I probably am a 1/3 through it.

Not sure how much reading I will be going since I have super fun plans for this weekend. :)

What I'm Reading Monday - Half Brother

This past week I felt very accomplished.  I finished two, count that TWO books!

I finished up listening to Nightshade and it was amazing.  I really enjoyed the whole story.  I was sad to find the ending didn't conclude the story.  I am freaking out because I really dislike when stories don't end, but I am desperate to find out what happens next.  I have yet to look up if the next books are formatted for audiobooks or not.

I then started As Simple As It Seems by Sarah Weeks.  I was ready for a short and sweet story since I had just finished my second 8 or more disk book.  It was a nice book and the voice was very young sounding.  The story was fun and interesting.  I enjoyed learning about Verbena and her new friend next door.  And the book was over before I knew it and I could start another one.

The one that I started was Half Brother.  It so far it is very good and the first one that has a male reader.  It took a little getting used too, but I think I got it now.  I find myself getting very mad at the father and laughing at the son.  I would like more story about the chimp and what he does.  I understand that Zan is not the main character, but I sure like him a whole lot.  I just switched to the third disk this morning and hopefully will switch disks this afternoon.

I am still near the beginning of Lola. I think I read for about 10 minutes since I first started it.  Hopefully I will have some time this week to read it and maybe even finish it!

Happy Monday everyone!
