Finished my V (for vegetables) book. It was a decent start to a new series :)Farm to Trouble (Farm to Table #1), by Amanda Flower, finished 2/18 ★★★★
if it's visible enough, I could J for jaw with this Nekropolis by Tim Waggoner his and there is also a pile of skulls with some jawbones visible in the background
Sorry, forgot to post that I finished my H (house) book. I like this series as much as I do the original series, but am sad to see there's only one more book to read. Digging Up the Dirt (Southern Ladies #3), by Miranda James, finished 2/26/21 ★★★★

I'm not sure. here we call socks that go over the knee "overknee socks" but I'm not sure if this really is a word you can use in English that way. If yes, I could take it with this cover
The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
Here I am! Over the course of the month I'll read this
which is fine for Quadruped, but I don't know when.
Yay Patrizia! No worries about timing! Jillian - I loved that book!! But I couldn't handle the audio and ended up just reading it.

It is a reread for me, Kate Reading is one of my favorite narrators. I find it interesting how different people like/dislike certain narrators. I know she is one you don’t care for and you like Davina Porter and she is the only narrator I cannot listen too.
It is weird Jillian. I'm way more on the picky side with my narrators. I can only listen to a couple American women narrators which really narrows the field. And it sounds like I've mention by problem with Reading before. This year I'm doing a lot more listening and I am finding that Davina Porter is good in some things and not so good in others. Though I did love her narration of The Mists of Avalon which I listened to at the end of 2020.
I tend to speed up my books so that causes some distortion. I tend to find Scott Brick to be a really slow narrator. Two years ago I listened to 2 books in a series narrated by him that was a vampire/dystopian genre. This year I’m trying to listen to Alexander Hamilton which is narrated by him but this one it seems like he is reading faster or something because I need to listen to it at normal speed. I have had to take a break because I keep expecting it to be the vampire books.
And I understand about connecting a narrator with a book. I listened to Les Miserables and cannot listen to George Guidall narrate anything else now. It just doesn't connect.
Scott Brick is definitely not one of my favorites. If I would have know he was the narrator, I would have waited for the ebook from the library. But, I’m already committed lol

The Virgin Suicides."
finished my overknee socks. I liked this book a lot, previously I did only know the movie (and had/have no real memory of it other than Kirsten Dunst) I do not know why it took me so long to read the book itself..

Patrizia wrote: "I like very much the books written by M. K. Coker."Good to know Patrizia! Though I think I actually put it on my list after seeing one of your reviews. I'm looking forward to reading it.
Finished my book for PLeia, Princess of Alderaan (Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi #3), by Claudia Gray, finished 3/6/21 ★★★★
Jillian wrote: "I can take R-river
Into the Wilderness by Sara Donati"I finished
I can take U-Union Jack
Cloche and Dagger by Jenn McKinlay
Finished T (trees), and now I'm wondering why it took so long to get back to this series. This has a locked room-style mystery, which was a nice change of pace :)Firestorm (Anna Pigeon #4), by Nevada Barr, finished 3/8 ★★★★
Up next : V
Thanks for the update Barb & Patrizia!! Barb - I read Firestorm for the Obstacle Course challenge which needed like 5 fire books. I had finished two really good ones and then read it and it was either too much at one time or wasn't quite as good as the others. I also seem to remember it being a little depressing. But I'm glad you really enjoyed it...lol.
I finally finished E for Escher with
by Jorge Luis Borges. Took forever but I'm glad I read it. Slow year for reading so far... Not a slump really but I just don't seem to be reading as much.
