Oooh Michael Fassbender and Rachel Weisz? Two reasons right there why I'd like to watch that movie.

Not read the book though. I've been hesitant about putting it on my TBR but that trailer just convinced me to put it onto my shelf.


message 1205: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments I know me too and it's Historical too so .........
BUT that is what puts me off a little.

OH OH OOOOHHHH I could reread The Help for HF been wanting to read that again for ages, and at least I know I like it lol

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments Wow, this book looks so good. I put it on hold for the library.

Oooh The Help! I've been meaning to read that. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while and I absolutely loved the movie.


message 1208: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments That trailer was a heartbreaker!


message 1209: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments omg E you have to listen to the audio of The Help, that was the one I bullied *cough* told ST about when she was "giving up" on audios forever PAHAHA as if that was going to ever happen!!!


message 1210: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
Ok, will do! :-) At least, I'll alternate - is that acceptable? ;-)

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
Btw, did you see the movie? Is that "chocolate cake" scene as hilarious in the book as it is in the movie?


message 1212: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Popping into second that, that is fabulous on audio!!!


message 1213: by VNerdbooks (new)


message 1214: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments Lol yes the chocolate cake incident is brilliant in the book.

Apparently it is meant to be quite difficult to "read" it as the dialect comes through, I can't comment though as I haven't read it in book form.


message 1215: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
Awesome! I'm looking forward to reading that part of the book hehe. I was in tears!

Not usually much a fan of the Southern drawl, but it totally works for this audio.


message 1216: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments My favorite audio! If V hadn't *shoved*, I mean gently nudged me into reading it ;) I would have been done with audios...well at least until I found those narrators with a Scottish or Irish accent :D

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments lol it was all done with love ST, wow that seems so long ago, it was the Tower Teams before last wasn't it?


message 1220: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments Abbie is flying through the books!!!


message 1221: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
I feel sorry for Abbie for actually having read that book. The first one in that series was utterly terrible.


message 1222: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments Haha I'm staying away from that one then!

Is it bad that after we chatted on the SS earlier and I was called away that I totally forgot to check out the new tasks and have literally only just looked???

I just went ooohhh lolb

Ghost in the Stacks Audio, baby!
I sit at a desk all day, so I just plug in, only turn off for a potty break!

Will see how long though, trying to take advantage of it. I had another Interview for another promotion....so I don"t know what my time will be for audio if I get that one.
I hadn't really expected another promotion so soon, I just got this promotion 1 and a half months ago.


message 1224: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments Yay congrats Abbie you rock!!!

Thanks for telling me now...it was really bad, now I know why it was actually available... it was super childish, and I dont know what I was thinking...WOBBLE clouds my brain...all I saw was PARANORMAL, so I went with it.


message 1226: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks There was a part in the beginning, that almost made me stop...but I had to finish cause I had nothing else downloaded to listen too.

The MC is watching TV and is Watching HGTV's Property Brothers, and makes a comment on how HOT there were..
..ewe... first off they are super pasty, gangly, and just a tad bit too fuggly to be considered hot, and I was like "How does this even pertain to the book"
There is another scene where the Pirate Museum is burning down, but wait! She needs to finish vacuuming the floor a needs to feed the cat before she rushes to the scene!

ugg


message 1227: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 2383 comments So I'll finish up YA or Fantasy here in a bit and then I've got Historical coming up and most definitely can do mystery and contemporary hits this weekend....


message 1228: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments I'm able to listen to audios part of the time I'm working. Would love it if I could listen all day.


message 1229: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I just finish my heart-wrenching book and come here to watch a trailer for another.... Gah! I'm dying here! I need something funny to wipe all the sadness from my mind!!!

...or Ryker.... He would do too I suppose...


message 1230: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments ahhh all day audios.........


message 1231: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
Sorry Abbie! :-))
But yes, the scenes you mentioned seems to be fairly typical for what the MC is like and it's ridiculously stupid, so is everything else. I don't understand how those books got published, but I guess she'd already made a name for herself by then...


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments We dropped down to sixth place?

I think we need more reading spurts!!!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I'm going to start either a fantasy or a pnr.

Finished I8.

Or I could go with a mystery.


message 1234: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
Yes, unfortunately we dropped down a little.
But we've got lots of books currently being read and we're only just starting the second week of the challenge :-)

Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Yeah I've noticed.

Have we heard from Alexandria?

Mine is for primary mystery.


message 1238: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
Yup, Alexandria is reading a fantasy book at the moment.

Angels & Demons wasn't half bad!


message 1239: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I just finished one for a miss that won't get any points until another one is read for B3-Goodreads Author

message 1245: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
Might as well fill up that miss spot right away, that way we won't have to worry about it anymore. All the other options are going to be filled easily and quickly enough :-)

So I think I like this one better as well.

I actually like the Davinci Code movie better then the book.

I'm actually close to 100 pages in. Forgot to update everything thing.

I like books like this.

The Lost Symbol (Robert Langdon, #3) by Dan Brown is probably my favorite out the series.
