New Start and current audiobooks

Yup I decided to read Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen. I'm somewhere around chapter 6 or so and really enjoying this book. I had the option of doing it as an audiobook but I'm in the middle of a few audiobooks so it would have had to wait too long. Plus it's a great before bed read.

What am I listening to?

Well i stopped part way into "Born In Death" by JDRobb. This was because my CD's were out of order on my ipod so it was skipping disk 4 and I didn't want to deal with it. Plus if I finish this book i have only 2 more in the series, i'd rather save them a bit.

So i started up Mistress of Dragons by Margaret Weis for the second time. This is actually part of a trilogy and I'm re-listening to this one so I can continue with the whole trilogy having freshly read it. I'm enjoying it just as much the second time around.

The Jane Austen Book Club

by Karen Joy Fowler

I finished this up last night, I didn't realize the epilogue was so short or else I would have finished it the night before.

I really enjoyed this book and i'm looking forward to seeing the movie now. It was a pretty quick read too since it took about a week and that's with just evenings before bed to read it.

I do recommend this one, especially if you like Jane Austen as they discuss her work quite a bit but really it's about people and relationships. It does make me want to read more Austen now as I have only read 3 of her books.

Next up I think is "Water for Elephants" as it's been highly highly recommended to me so I will start it by this weekend probably.

Nineteen Minutes - Finished

by Jodi Piccoult

I finished this book Friday night. I was very very happy with it. One thing I really like about Jodi Piccoult books is that she doesn't skimp on the ending. I'm never disappointed that things didn't get finished or something. This one was no different.

I think this book was probably one of her best, I rank it up there with My Sister's Keeper. I haven't disliked any of her books so far and I've read about 5 or 6.

Next up I'm reading "The Jane Austen Book Club" by Karen Joy Fowler. I'm on chapter 2 and thoroughly enjoying it so far!

Nineteen Minutes

by Jodi Piccoult

I'm more than halfway done with this now. It's a good read. It's about a school shooting, similar to "We need to talk about Kevin" in that, but only in that. The characters are all easy to relate to and very deep. The writing is of course great. (This all contrasts "...Kevin"). I don't know where it's going exactly but I'm enjoying reading it and always get emotionally involved with her books.

I got a TON of new books for xmas, not sure what will be up next, I got 3 new Jodi Piccoult and so much more.. decisions!
