Book Post

Books I Read:

  • 2/3 of Something Rotten – Jasper Fforde (The fourth book in the Thursday Next series)
  • Super Sad True Love Story – Gary Shteyngart (Takes place in a near-future dystopian New York where life is dominated by media and retail)

Books I Listened To:

  • Bossypants – Tina Fey (A funny biography of/by Tina Fey)
  • The Hunger Games – Suzanne Collins (A YA novel set in post-apocalyptic North America about a deadly competition)
  • Catching Fire – Suzanne Collins (The second book in the series)
  • Mockingjay – Suzanne Collins (The third and final book in the series)
  • The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo – Stieg Larsson (Swedish crime novel)

I liked The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo eventually, but the slow start was ultra ultra boring and the names were confusing in audiobook format. Will the sequels be the same? I zipped through the Hunger Games trilogy in a week. I loved the first one, the second was ok, but I thought the third one dragged a bit. I can’t wait for the movie though!

What should I read/listen to next?? I need recommendations! Something funny please?

  1. Weird! Without discussion, we have read a bunch of the same books recently. I just read the Hunger Games trilogy: 1: Awesome 2: Really good 3: Meh. And I listened to the audiobook of Bossypants as well! I am 2/3 of the way through “One Of Our Thursdays is Missing”, and in the reading pile have a half finished Isabel Allende, and the first book in the Game of Thrones series. And an ebook on the go as well… phew! And no time to read. So there you go!

  2. Join Goodreads(www.goodreads.com)! If you have friends on it, it’s a good way to get ideas of books to read and read reviews of them and also keep track of books you have read/are reading

  3. If you want to listen to the “Tomorrow, when the war began” series I’ll send you my audible.com login and you can download them :)
