FF: Before the End of the Day

Persephone Reads

When OverDrive became Libby, I was forced to get rid of my old-faithful MP3 player and invest in a tablet.  There are pros and cons to this, as well as new opportunities.  One of these will be seeing what Hoopla has available in audiobooks that I can check out and download. 

The Friday Fragments is not a book review column; it’s a list of what I’m reading and maybe a bit about my opinions.  I always read the comments section, because I enjoy learning what other people are reading.  Oh, and I don’t usually list shorter works unless in a collection or articles, I also don’t usually list scattered research reading.

Completed:

In the Best Families by Rex Stout.  Audiobook.  One of my favorites in the series, although it helps to know the characters to get the full impact of the plot.

The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan.  Audiobook.  Percy Jackson and the Olympians book five.  Ends the first major story cycle in the series.

Migraine by Oliver Sacks. Non-fiction.  During my recovery from rotator cuff surgery, I read most of Sacks’ works.  However, our library didn’t have some of his earlier works.  Jim got me this one and another for Christmas.  It’s one of Sack’s earlier works, and it’s interesting to see his style developing.  

In Progress:

Hallucinations by Oliver Sacks.  Non-fiction.

Not sure what my next audiobook will be, but I’ll probably have chosen it before the end of today!

Also:

Catching up on magazines.  For a while, I let them go fallow, because nothing seemed to hold my attention, but I’m going back to partially read ones, and finishing them off.
