I have officially
exceeded my 2013 reading goal of 60 books (which started as 30, turned into 50, then 55, I think I'll stop at 60...)! I am really proud of myself because as of today I've read 10 more books than I did last year. I attribute a huge part of that to my discovery that I actually can "read" an audio book, my attention span really does allow for it! haha! However, I am starting to learn that this depends on the type of book. Memoirs and re-reads are perfect for me, but after "reading"
If I Stay by Gayle Forman and beginning
Looking for Alaska by John Green on audio book, I'm thinking I should stick to really actually reading most new-to-me novels. I feel like I'm losing some of the magic of building the world in my mind or something. How do you feel about audio books?
On another note, I read
Cinder this week on my brand new Nook HD and I loved it (the book
and the Nook)! When it comes to reading devices, I am still a Kindle Fire girl at heart, but it was nice to read my e-pubs without using my e-ink device. My only complaint with reading
Cinder is that I think I'm about to join the Anxious For
Cress Club really soon...
Last Week I Finished Reading: Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen (audio book) and
Cinder by Marissa Meyer.
This Week I Plan on Reading: Priceless by Nicole Richie and
Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
This Week I'm Sharing a Review For:
Absolution by Karen McQuestion
What are you reading this week?
Audiobooks are tricky for me as well, still not my favorite way to read. I still need the book to go along with the audio especially if I'm going to review it. Cinder was a pleasure to read as was Scarlett. If I have the book to go along with the audio then it could be heaven depending on what it is.
ReplyDeleteKudos, Danielle! i think i'm in 40 so far. for the last few months i only read 2 books from agatha chrisie. ha.
ReplyDelete50 books is my goal that I have reached for the last 3 years but this year I haven't met 30 but will by end of year, sigh. Very hard to accept.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to stick to audio, distraction very fast. I love my kindle or kindle app on iPad.
I am so glad you enjoyed Cinder and congrats on the Nook!
ReplyDeleteAudiobooks are interesting for me. I have little people in the house, so firstly I have to make sure that there are no little ears. Secondly, I have to be doing something that doesn't require a lot of attention, like cleaning, or I miss half of the story!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books! :)
Congrats on achieving your goal!
ReplyDeleteHave a cheery week!
