I have been churning through the audiobooks lately. A good story really makes the work day pass quickly!!
Books I Listened To:
- the rest of Something Rotten – Jasper Fforde
- First Among Sequels – Jasper Fforde
- The Help – Kathryn Stockett (interesting)
- Water For Elephants – Sarah Gruen (liked it, haven’t watched the movie yet… the movie might ruin it for me)
- Assassination Vacation – Sarah Vowell (did not find this very interesting since i have little interest in american presidents)
- The Girl Who Played With Fire – Stieg Larsson (liked much more than the first one in the series)
- The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest – Stieg Larsson (good in some parts, incredibly boring in others)
- Divergent – Veronica Roth (yes yes! very similar to hunger games, but i think i liked it better. read this!)
- One Day – David Nicholls
- Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society – Mary Ann Shaffer (i recommend this one as well. about post wwII, in letter format)
- The Death Defying Pepper Roux – Geraldine McCaughrean (would be a good story to read to your kids at bedtime)
Books I Read:
- A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier – Ishnael Beah (very interesting! this guy has gone through the unimaginable)
Next:
- Metamorphosis – Franz Kafka
- She’s Come Undone – Wally Lamb
- ???
I read A Long Way Gone for my grade 11 outdoor ed term report!
that is weird for many different reasons, haha
