What I'm Reading Monday - Split

I was able to get a bit of stuff read this past week.  I don't have too many finished, but I am definately farther along on some of them.

I finished Split.  I really really liked it.  I feel as though the author could have kept going, but it had a finite ending.  I feel like someone going through that same situation would benefit from reading this book.  I do have to say that there were still some parts that I was mad about.

I was able to read a chapter or two of Undercover in High Heels.  I feel as though I need to just dedicate a day to sit a read this one.  I even had to stop reading in a really good spot to maybe entice myself to read it sooner.  So far that idea isn't working.

I am at a really good spot in Lola.  I even made a point to read it today at stop lights.  I also managed to get to work a little early and read until work time.  I can't read it during lunch since I have to play catch up on some of my posts.  Annoying being a day late getting back from vacation.  Anyway.  Lola is finally realizing decisions she has known all along.

I started Darth Paper Strikes Back today.  I am not really sure if I like it.  I can definitely tell this is for younger readers.  I realized after I added it to Goodreads that this is actually a sequel.  I hate reading series out of order. :(  Oh well, I don't feel like I would want to read the first one anyway.

I hope to finish a few of these so that I can start on my Fairest books. :)

What I'm Reading Monday - Last Summer

This past week I still managed to do some major reading even while out of town on vacation!

I started and finished Last Summer (Of You & Me) by Ann Brashares.  It was quite funny that I picked that book to bring to New York as part of it was set in New York.  The story was about two sisters and their best friend.  It explores their adult relationships while looking into their joined past.  I enjoyed the story very much and felt a stronger connection due to the fact that I was in the city the story was partially set in.

I am getting farther and farther through this book and I am really enjoying it.  I still can't imagine being in the situation these characters are in.  I keep finding myself yelling at the car window because of something that happens or is said in the book.  I am sure that I look like a crazy person during those moments especially if there isn't any bad traffic around.

I did a bit of reading of Lola this week before we headed out for vacation on Thursday.  I am still enjoying it and can't wait to get back to reading since I didn't bring it with me on vacation.  Since it isn't my book I didn't want to lose or damage it.

I was able to read a few chapters of Undercover in High Heels.  Still can't seem to find a good time to just read read read to finally get it finished.  It is getting good though so maybe I can find time this week.

I am looking forward to being home and having time to do some more reading.

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. :)

Road Trip Play List!

I am on the road to GA with a super great friend of mine to see a super great friend of mine!!

While my friend is traveling with me I won't have to use audiobooks to distract me but once I drop her off the audiobook frenzy is on!

My plan is to finish up Cryer's Cross (if I already have not finished it on Wednesday evening).

Then start Nightshade which should take me a while to finish since it is 10ish hours long.  I am curious about it as it seems to fall within the werewolf/supernatural theme.  I like those kinds of books.

I have a few others waiting in the wings just in case I manage to listen to the full book.  :)
