Now that
I'm back to reading, this link-up is just what I need. Look at the bottom of the post for the hosts, see what others are reading, and for inspiration for new books to read. Here are my books this month:
This book was about one of the Seven Sisters. I read the second book in the series last month, so I continued on to the next book in the series. I love how Lucinda Riley intertwines past history in her books, taking me back to another time (and place). Her love for books and the rekindling of my love for books grabbed my attention.
I couldn't stop with book 3, and since Star (from book 3) and CeCe (from this book) are so close, it was natural that I wouldn't have stopped. Again, I found something that's happening in my life that coincided with something going on in the character's life. I really wanted to read book 5, but I made myself move on to something else.
This was a quick read. I read half of it Thanksgiving night and finished it the next morning. The book club leader is reading it to her class, and almost every member of the book club (if not every one of them) has read it. They talk about it every time we meet, so I figured I'd better read it so I wouldn't be shunned! Obviously, it was a good book because I finished it so quickly. The club members talked about how they "ugly cried" reading it. I don't know if it's because I was expecting something to happen (because that's all the members talked about) or if it was something else, but I didn't experience the crying. I did tear up at one part, but because I knew what was going to happen to one of the characters (I just didn't know which one), I figured it out early in the book, so I may have just been ready for it.
I'm currently reading my book club book. We meet every other week; our assignment is to read 200 pages each time. 200 pages to go before we finish the book, but you'll have to come back next month to see what it was & what I thought of it. 😁
I read one more book this month! I don't listen to audiobooks, so what I'm reading, I'm actually reading. No judgment, though. Listening to books puts me to sleep; I have to actually see it to retain it.
