Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) If it weren't for audiobooks I get very little done, are usually do most of my reading/listening while I'm doing other things especially cleaning the house, laundry, dishes, etc. wish I had a job where I could listen, but I don't :-(

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) But, if I finish a single book in a day, I'm lucky ☺️

Abby | 5404 comments I get a lot more read since I discovered audiobooks. Love listening whenever I'm driving or taking the dog on a walk.

I can't listen to audio books. I've tried a few times and my brain just can't process what's being said. :(

Cindee | 706 comments I have no interest in audio books I would rather imagine what the characters of a book I am reading sound like.

When I was in school, I would always listen to audio books on my drive there because it was like an hour drive.. plus whenever I was walking around campus or at the gym. It made life much easier when I couldn't actually get a hold of a book.


message 158: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments So I'm almost done Carrie and I'll either want to immediately read another book to 'cleanse' my mind or I'll want to curl up in a corner and not read for months. :(


message 159: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Omg. Why? Is it good?!? I really want to read that one...but maybe next month?--I haven't decided yet.

2 books down and 2 more to go :)


message 160: by Cindee (new)

I don't really like it. It's not going to be more than a 2.5 star. :/

I have never read a Stephen King book and I really want too. I want to read so many of his!


message 164: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) OMG I GOT 4 BOOKS :) I really had to push myself but I am so happy--although I wish I liked all of them


message 165: by Abby (new)

Abby | 5404 comments I'm on a mission to read every book Stephen King's ever written. One book a month until I'm done.


message 166: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) All his books are very different from each other, some I really liked and some not as much, but I don't read the super scary ones much, really not my thing :-)

No worries. I also have some reviews that I'm sitting on. I'm focusing on reading and don't have time right now to write reviews or comment on BR threads. :)


message 169: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (last edited Sep 06, 2017 11:13AM) (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments So I have 6 reviews to post. I'm hoping to get another couple of books done though so once I do I'll do the reviews and the BR comments. :)


message 170: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments So depending on how much I like it I'm still hoping to finish Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas today but I'm not liking the MC right now.

I'm also almost done Carrie by Stephen King so I should be done that in the next hour or 2.

I'm also reading about 7 manga today. So hopefully I will get that all done and still have time to start my BR today for Song of the Current (Song of the Current #1) by Sarah Tolcser


message 171: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Sounds good! I have no idea what I want to read right now..

I did start An Ember in the Ashes (An Ember in the Ashes, #1) by Sabaa Tahir last night but I don't know if I want to read that now or if I want a happy/cheesy book...

decisions.....decisions


message 172: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I really need to start writing my reviews and do my BR comments especially since I don't think I'll be reading any more today but I can't seem to find the energy. I did do one comment. :(


message 173: by Cindee (last edited Sep 06, 2017 04:15PM) (new)

Abby | 5404 comments I dare say we're okay if y'all wanna hold off on reviews.


message 181: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) LOL 😂


message 182: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I think today is going to be my review and comment catch up day. I don't know if I can read today as I've just realized that my 16 year old cat is likely partially or completely deaf and now I'm worried about some other symptoms I've been seeing. :(

I hope so too. I think we'll have to take her to the vet though which will be traumatizing for her. I really hope she is okay. I already lost two pets last year. D:

Oh man the vet! My dogs actually love the vet...however, one of them (Bailey) she hates getting her nails cut. While the other one is like "oooh this is calming." He does not care one bit, it's really funny how they are complete opposites.

I hope the visit goes well if you have to go.

TY. We have not had the best luck with vet visits. :(

My cats were like that as well. One was really mellow and the one I still have is very high strung. :)


message 187: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) I used to have cats (3 at least--okay one was a kitten) but we had to give them away because my brother and I were allergic. I can't even go through the cat section at Petco haha

I can't go to the humane society but that's because I want to adopt all the cats and dogs. :)


message 189: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments So I did manage to finish a book today. It sadly wasn't one of my planned books but I'm still happy I was able to read and finish a book. I'm hoping that tomorrow returns to normal. :)


message 190: by Abby (new)

Abby | 5404 comments Both my physical and audio book will be finished today. They always seem to line up like that.


message 191: by Berit☀️✨ (last edited Sep 08, 2017 09:16AM) (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) My hope for the weekend is to get my daughters room all cleaned out (she lives in a house with all her sorority sisters now near her college)but she left a mountain of clothing behind, anyways I want to move my youngest son into that room his room is smaller and traps the heat, but I will do all of this with an audiobook in my ear :-)
So my three cats can take over his room, both my older kids moved into houses this year near college, so all their bedroom furniture is gone, very weird, but I'm excited for them!


message 192: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Oh man heat?!? I cannot sleep in my room unless the AC is set to tundra. I thrive in the cold.


message 193: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Well then you should be grateful you don't have A mom like me not allowing the AC to run all night, because I don't want to pay that electric bill!


message 194: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments So I'm about 1/3 into both Pawn (The Blackcoat Rebellion, #1) by Aimee Carter Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas and I'm hoping to have both done today.

I also still have three reviews to catch up on The Awakening (Darkest Powers, #2) by Kelley Armstrong Beauty is the Beast, Vol. 1 by Tomo Matsumoto Beauty is the Beast, Vol. 2 by Tomo Matsumoto


message 195: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Haha I just don't want anyone to catch up to us :) plus dog sitting is kind of boring...so I really have nothing to do but read.

I don't think any team has even a slight chance of catching up to us at this point. lol. ^-^

I have a ton of BRs this month so unless one of the other big readers also have a ton of BRs and has a really good month I think we are going to stay far ahead of the pack. ^-^
