It's ages since I read a real book, Meme (or do you prefer Domino?) I was given a Kindle for Christmas some years ago and I'm addicted to it now as it's so easy to carry around and easy to read from too. And cheap!'Ruminate' - yep, that's the exact word. I was listening to Agatha Christie last night and it's so good because it doesn't matter if I fall asleep, I can just listen to it again tomorrow! It's the exact opposite to what I am reading at the moment.
One day I might experiment by reading something a chapter at a time and then listening to it chapter by chapter afterwards.
Yes, you've got to get a good narrator and one who can do different characters well.

Meme is totally cool or Domino. i love both names.
u know, i remember the days when i would go to Half Priced Books and purchase two or three books i saw recommended here on goodreads. or just pick up some book based on the cover and title. i'd also pick up classics too. i have a few Hardy's in my closet now and Austen. of course Bronte too. hehe. it's a shame i haven't read more Hardy. i've just gotten so emersed in smut, historical romance, paranormal romance and such; it's ridiculous.
i mean, i love what i read, it's just i miss the old days =D
Meme is shorter to type but Domino is a super name - it's even the name of a James Bond girl in Thunderball! I can see why you like both.I looked through my bookcases the other day and saw at least 20 books I really want to read and can't find the time. Annoying. But I keep adding to the queue on my Kindle as well!
I've just remembered what this thread is for - I've just finished reading The Trouble with Time
It was recommended to me by Amazon and I've read most of the author's books so I eagerly started on this one too. Sci-fi, future time travel, is not my usual sort of thing but the author makes it all so real. Great. I was sorry when it ended!
i'm pretty fond of Domino myself. i didn't know it was a girls name in a James Bond film. i actually got it from the movie Domino that has Keira Knightley in it. she was a bounty hunter. i so love that movie. hehe.my last read was Mister O. it was a first read for the author. not bad. trying to decide what to read next.
I'm reading A Certain Age by Beatriz WILLIAMS. Love this author since A Hundred Summers ;)
I'm reading Debbie Macomber's "Love Letters." :)
Just finished Perfect by Jordan Marie.I read it with a grin on my face.
LOL funny and sexy as hell...
Finished my reread of

Just finished

and

After all the smut readings I did in the past few days I am now currently enjoying manga "GEKKAN SHOUJO NOZAKI-KUN ".
I think I'm finally bouncing back from my reading depression I was in. In the last 2 weeks I finished "Yes Please" by Amy Poehler (finally) and "You Know Me Well" by Nina LaCour and David Levithan. And now I've started "Meaty" by Samantha Irby, and about to start the audiobook for "Girl On the Train" by Paula Hawkins. Super excited about both (Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett is still hanging around in the back).
I am currently reading Gu Man's "You Are Still Here" :-)(done with GEKKAN SHOUJO NOZAKI-KUN )
Since I last checked in, I finished
.Currently reading
and will be starting
and
. I've been hearing a ton of great things about Six of Crows so I'm excited to start that.
I just finished
(for the second time ;) ) and will be starting
in a few minutes. Pretty sceptical about it though because I read the first two in the series a few weeks ago and can't remeber a single thing that happened.
Finished
(meh) and
(loved loved loved it!). Currently reading

Im reading Twisted Palace (Royal 3) by Erin Watt...
The Last Letter From Your Lover by Jojo Moyes
i finished Stuck-Up Suit and i loved it!! didn't want it to end. i'm like a junky. i need another Vi keeland- Penelope Ward novel. i don't generally like dual author books, but i've enjoyed their books immensely.
just to keep my reading streak going i've rented
I found an ebook called The Ghost! A new series by Kauri Eiffen. It is very much a 18+ story and I have to say I am looking forward to seeing what happens next! If anyone dares to check it out please let me know if there is anythings else like it! I think it's available for Kobo at the moment....Love the supernatural stuff!
Im not very good with forums unfortunately but I'm trying to find ways to get more friends on Goodreads. And looking for the best groups of people who enjoy the same kind of books that I do. I love to read and review books, so I'm looking for people who also love reading and actively review their books too. I'm always searching for the next great 5 star book. If it's as simple as adding me, please do so. Insight is appreciated. If post is not allowed, i apologize in advance. Thank you.
finished reading
and
. both were good reads.now reading
and
Ohhh - I'm reading
Really enjoying it so far!
Really enjoying it so far!
I just finished reading Haunting at Hotel LaBelle, and it's an excellent Paranormal romance with humor and a bit of spookiness! 
Darkly Dreaming Dexter, this book was recommended to me for it's vivid/cool sensibilty which it has.
For one week my blog will be about suggested reading. Let’s share recommendations, whether it’s your own work or that of others. The only requirement is that it was published in 2019. Join me at:http://jacquelineseewald.blogspot.com
I'm totally consumed by my current read, The Edge of Freedom by Dana Vacca. I finished Vacca's previous book, Freedom Calling and thoroughly enjoyed it. And The Edge of Freedom has definitely hooked me completely! The history of the US Civil War era is accurate (I'm a Civil War buff!)
It's about an escaped slave, but the story is not the usual fare, and is as exciting as it is spiritual and inspirational!
Vivid characters that you can laugh, love and cry with!
I give a thumbs up both books.
Undoing by L.L. Diamond. It is a wonderful Pride and Prejudice retelling and very sensual. It mixes a little history into the story and addresses some tough issues for a Regency romance.
I am currently reading "Hopeless" by Colleen Hoover.

totally. and from ur message i've decided to read Hardy's books in print. i was gonna give audio a try for his, but i want to ruminate his writing. hehe. and hopefully i'll get back to reading my books in print. of late it's just been audiobooks. and before i refused to read e-books and audio. i've gotten pretty lazy of late.
i miss the smell of books and holding back from flipping ahead and see how things turned out. that's probably the one plus with audio. i can't fast forward cause i'll get lost. hehe
i'll also get my speed back once i start reading print again. the only series so far i wont by audio is Game of Thrones and Outlander. i can't stand the narrator's accents. just terrible. hehe. i'd rather imagine the cool accents =D
