Dichotomy Girl (dichotomygirl) | 403 comments @Trisha

Wow, GR did something crazy with my original response, and it had stuff in the "reply" that nobody had ever said, and it left me feeling like I was having some weird out of body experience!!!

So my original response was something like this:

I have been listening to the audiobook version! It was the only version that my online library had available for White Cat, and I liked the audiobook version so well, I have continue the rest of the series on audio.

I have a love/hate relationship with audiobooks, and so when I find a series with a narrator I like, I try to stick with it. (Unless I get too impatient and then I need to find a physical copy because I can read so much faster than they can read, lol)

So If you can suggest any other series with great narrators...

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Well, yesterday I got 2 1/2 of my goals read. LOL But I have to forgive myself since I was home with hubby and we ended up decorating our tree, going out to eat, and I had from 12-3:30 taken up with a business venture and I was on the road. So here's today's goals:

My True Love Gave to Me Twelve Holiday Stories by Stephanie Perkins ~ Read "Your temporary Santa" (15 pages)

The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street by Susan Jane Gilman ~ minimum ch. 1-8, (257 pages) This book is 501 pages.

Replica (Replica, #1) by Lauren Oliver ~ Gemma's POV - Ch 1-6 (54 pages)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments LOL Right now I need a MIRACLE!!! lol I ended up doing so much on my computer today and hubby and I went to Applebee's on a gift certificate I got from our yearbook publishing company rep, found a special for buy one for $12.49 and get one FREE, so we did! LOL We each had a drink (non-alcohol) and gave a 21% tip and it came out to $25 exactly...so a FREE meal and a nice dinner with hubby.

Dichotomy Girl (dichotomygirl) | 403 comments I need to finish A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic, #1) by V.E. Schwab , it's never taken me so long to finish a book I like! It's taken me 2 months to read 66%.

Of course, in that time I've finished 50 other books, but still, I like it, and yet, I read 10-20 pages and then put it down.


message 577: by Jessie (Saffity) (new)

Jessie (Saffity) (saffity) My goal yesterday was to get 50% done Uglies (Uglies, #1) by Scott Westerfeld but I only made 45% (though I have to say this book really ramps up at about 30%)

My goal today is to reach 75% on Uglies (Uglies, #1) by Scott Westerfeld and 25% on The Book Thief by Markus Zusak which I am listening to as an audio book.


message 578: by Jessie (Saffity) (new)

You seriously amaze me with how many books you can have on the go at once. If I have more than 3 I start mixing up plots! (And one of those is usually an audio book I only listen to at work or while I'm walking).

I wish you great luck in achieving your goals!

My secret is to pick books that are vastly different from one another. A contemporary YA, science fiction, a classic, a non-fiction and a Fantasy or a Mystery, and then I usually have a few re-reads going.
