What are you reading this week of April 22, 2018? [View all]
Happy Earth Day!
Happy days for me! My computer is a laptop confined to a small space with minimal speakers so I recently went on a thrift store search and found a nice little pair of LabTecs for $5. Then, at long last, an audio book finally became available on the Digital Consortium end of my library so I am now able to listen while I cook. This is my first experience with the Consortium and I am a bit disappointed. There are only about 30 audio books so far and only one person at a time can listen. Why? That seems lame and I am now on LONG waiting lists. Plus, why are all libraries in the state not available to me? Who knows the answers to these burning questions?
So, I am listening to in a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware. This is labeled as a thriller but two-thirds in and I have yet to be thrilled. But the characters are rather amusing and the way Ware lays out the reveal is unusual, for me anyway. So, it's an okay tale; just not great. I only got it as Ware's The Woman in Cabin 10 is so popular and is on my list.
Still happy with Tales of Burning Love by Louise Erdrich and To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis, which just keeps getting funnier. What books are making you happy this week? Apologies to those I didn't reply to in last week's thread. Please know that I do read and appreciate everything you write here. I've just been crazy busy, trying to take care of my little piece of the earth.
