So sorry I missed finishing my last book in time. I had a Christmas party and somehow forgot about my book.

They DO have an episode on the McDonalds hot coffee lawsuit. I haven't listened to it yet though because I always start podcasts at the beginning and work my way through.

I listen to a bunch of different podcasts. A few I really like:


Books:
Book Riot: The Podcast - they talk about news in the book world
Fated Mates - a romance author (Sarah MacLean) and a romance reader talk about romance books
Overdue - they read "the books you've been meaning to read" and discuss them

Lifestyle/society:
Forever 35 - tagline is "two friends who like to talk a lot about serums" but they really talk about everything. This is one of my favourites
Invisibilia - all kinds of interesting topics
Maintenance Phase - debunking topics related to dieting and body size

Educational:
This Podcast Will Kill You - Each episode is all about a different disease or pathogen. I'm a scientist so I love it, but it may not be for everyone
You're Wrong About - the real story behind topics that we pretty much all have the wrong idea about, mostly because of how it was covered in the media at the time

My Dad Wrote a Porno is one of my faves Kaley. I've cried from laughing so hard.

I used to listen to audiobooks occasionally but in the last year or so I've gotten hardcore into podcasts and have mostly stopped listening to books because they make me fall behind on podcasts.

Uh oh. I haven't really been worried about the booster because I only had sore arm for the first two also. Maybe the booster will come with a day off work to recover after all ;)

Welcome Jenny!

I also almost never vote on the Goodreads Choice Awards, because I've rarely read more than one or two books in each category (if that). I usually go through the categories though and add at least a dozen books to my tbr.

My favourite is also Hidden Legacy. I didn't realize they were planning to do a trilogy for Arabella, so I was excited to see that.

Yes! Why do they do this? I ask if he wants to watch a show, he says no, but then starts paying atttention while I watch and then gets annoyed if I don't want to wait for him to watch more. He often wants to play video games instead of watching stuff so it slows me down.

Wow, those are gorgeous!

Just finished my last book. I'll go mark it off.

I verified and fixed this page count for you.

It's going to be tight but I am determined to finish my last book. It wouldn't work for GHOST and it's due at the library Sunday.

I'm good either way with spinning again or not.

If you use this link, you can see how many times each book is tagged. And also if it's on your tbr already:

I'm also not really a fan of spirituality books. But I'll take a look to see if I can find anything. Hoping we can find enough O books.

I like Outlander a lot, but at some point I got sick of them being so, so long (maybe I was reading them too close together) and ended up giving up the series. After book 6 I think.

Game of Thrones I tried and didn't like, so gave it up after the first one.

I love the first Kingkiller Chronicles book and immediately bought the second one the day after I finished the first, but when I found out the third one wasn't likely to come out anytime soon, I refused to read the second. If it ever gets written, I'll re-read the first.

I don't really like starting new series until at least a good portion of the books have been written so I know the series will be finished and I won't be left hanging.
