I really need to try the audiobook thing. Definitely reread AoGG. It is sulcus a mood lifting book.

And I'm sooooo tired in the evenings! I have been listening to Cinder (through the library/Overdrive program. It's good so far, better than I expected. I heard it was really good, but I'm not usually a fan of cyborgs (or robots, or aliens, or zombies). I liked Blue Lily but not as much as the other books in the series -- like it was just a filler until the finale but with more unanswered questions! I enjoyed some of the stories in The Bane Chronicles and some were just okay or "meh". I listened to a couple of them & the narrators had great accents which made the stories better! You're making want to re-read Anne of Green Gables! I read it many many years ago & don't remember much other than I really liked it!! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-79942643827970945342015-05-02T13:39:44.117-04:002015-05-02T13:39:44.117-04:00Absolutely!!!!

Beautiful.<br /><br />I had set a reading goal earlier this year, but it appears I'll be lucky to get a few read. I just completed large project #2 this year so I'm happy that my lack of reading is due to getting a lot accomplished. I miss reading!!! (I'm the type that gets so caught up in a project that it's all or nothing). <br /><br />Julie, have you read The Red Tent?

Your list allows for a lot of exploring I may not have initially done. <br /><br />Neruda constructs poetry so beautifully. I am going to look out for more of his work. I respect Goldfinch too. I guess the end just felt forced or out of place. I hope you do another challenge next year!

I don't remember a lot about the plot actually, I should probably reread it since I own it. I bet this is a category with a lot of options.

I'm enjoying them and thought I'd dive right into Rick Riordan's other Olympian series but now I'm feeling I need a break and want to jump over to something else on my TBR pile. Not sure what though.<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.com
