That's alright, you don't have to post an update after every book you read. I personally only update my challenges once a month.

Just completed the start of another series - The Austen Project - Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld. This is an entertaining audiobook! The narrator did a good job with the voices. That being said, I felt like a bit of editing would have taken out some of the extraneous bits that detracted from the main story. Also, the prose was a touch repetitive. Overall, definitely worth reading (and listening)! 4 stars

Just started (and will not continue) another series - A Crown for Cold Silver by Alex Marshall. While there were parts of this book I enjoyed, the book would have benefited from some serious editing. There were certain sections that were just too odd, and then for all the verbosity of the author, other sections were too vague. For the ambition and the parts I enjoyed, I'm rating this 3 stars. I received this book as a free giveaway in exchange for my honest review. Unless you love grimdark literature, this is not one I would recommend. I will not be continuing the series.

Just completed a book in a series (Me Before You by Jojo Moyes) - Still Me by Jojo Moyes. Thoroughly enjoyed this next chapter in Louisa Clark's saga. And Moyes' writing, as ever, contains beautifully poignant moments punctuated by really funny scenes. My only tiny critique is that at time Moyes can be a touch obtuse in conveying a meaning. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars
