Helene (birdvet) | 52 comments Starting off with "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt, then I'm going to delve into one of the 5 or so others I started but didn't finish! :)


message 4: by Helene (new)

Helene (birdvet) | 52 comments So looks like my first full read was the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Several hours of my life I'll never get back! Onwards to finish The Goldfinch.

Helene (birdvet) | 52 comments Two read already in April: The Storied Life of AJ Virky and Orphan Train


message 11: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments What did you think of AJ Fikry? I read it last year and loved it. Orphan Train is on my TBR - was it good?


message 12: by Helene (new)

Helene (birdvet) | 52 comments Sorry I missed this message Megan. Loved AJ Firky. Nice light read and a great one for "bookish" people. Really liked the orphan train. Clever plot!


message 13: by Helene (new)

Helene (birdvet) | 52 comments Ok, so far for May I've read "Paris Letters" and did two audiobooks " unbroken" and " I know why the caged bird sings". Currently reading "night film". Creepy as hell but liking it so far. Cool addition of web page printouts, letters, photos. Hope to finish it by month end.

FYI, I listened to Eleanor and Park, Furiously Happy, and Leaving Time this year. Furiously Happy is a great "quick" read, and Leaving Time was one of my favorites of the year. Great narrators for all three. Enjoy :)
