Not a very big reading week but I got some in.  I have been doing some deep cleaning on my house.  Life gets insanely hectic for me starting the week of Thanksgiving and stays that way until the second week of January.  So focusing on getting as much done now as I can before the chaos hits.

Currently Reading:

  

 

"Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his curious comrades in arms as they hurtle through space powered by pure improbability - and desperately in search of a place to eat. Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a long-time friend and contributor to the The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMilan, a fellow Earth refuge who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, who suffers nothing and no one gladly."

 

"What if the most terrifying person you know is your ten-year-old sister?

Seventeen-year-old Aussie Che Taylor loves his younger sister, Rosa. But he's also certain that she's a psychopath--clinically, threateningly, dangerously. Recently Rosa has been making trouble, hurting things. Che is the only one who knows; he's the only one his sister trusts. Rosa is smart, talented, pretty, and very good at hiding what she is and the manipulation she's capable of.

Their parents, whose business takes the family from place to place, brush off the warning signs as Rosa's -acting out.- Now that they have moved again--from Bangkok to New York City--their new hometown provides far too many opportunities for Rosa to play her increasingly complex and disturbing games. Che's always been Rosa's rock, protecting her from the world. Now, the world might need protection from her."

Yes, still reading this one.  Only read a few pages in fact.

It has been a few weeks since I did this. And I read a lot since.  I did two manga- readathons plus Dewey's 24 readathon.  So I am not going to post all those books.  If you want to see what I read the past few weeks, check out my goodreads profile.
So starting fresh this month and hope to keep up better!

So I took a few weeks off to deal with some personal stuff. My dog had to step up his surgery by several weeks and dealing with that, his recovery (surgery was on his throat), and training a new puppy and work my free time was very limited.  So I will catch you up from my last post. 

I am currently reading:

 

 

 

"Let luck find you.

Alice doesn’t believe in luck—at least, not the good kind. But she does believe in love, and for some time now, she’s been pining for her best friend, Teddy. On his eighteenth birthday—just when it seems they might be on the brink of something—she buys him a lottery ticket on a lark. To their astonishment, he wins $140 million, and in an instant, everything changes.

At first, it seems like a dream come true, especially since the two of them are no strangers to misfortune. As a kid, Alice won the worst kind of lottery possible when her parents died just over a year apart from each other. And Teddy’s father abandoned his family not long after that, leaving them to grapple with his gambling debts. Through it all, Teddy and Alice have leaned on each other. But now, as they negotiate the ripple effects of Teddy’s newfound wealth, a gulf opens between them. And soon, the money starts to feel like more of a curse than a windfall.

As they try to find their way back to each other, Alice learns more about herself than she ever could have imagined…and about the unexpected ways in which luck and love sometimes intersect."

 

 

 

 

 

"Welcome to Derry, Maine ...

It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real ...

They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But none of them can withstand the force that has drawn them back to Derry to face the nightmare without an end, and the evil without a name."

The past few days have been quite hectic!  I had hoped to both post more on this blog, get a new D&D character created, read more and clean a few spaces in my home but nope.  Unexpected thigns happened.

**I am still slowly chipping away at this.  Doubt I will finish anytime soon.  My goal has been 20 pages a day of this.  I am a bit behind.**

"The first kidnappings happened two hundred years before. Some years it was two boys taken, some years two girls, sometimes one of each. But if at first the choices seemed random, soon the pattern became clear. One was always beautiful and good, the child every parent wanted as their own. The other was homely and odd, an outcast from birth. An opposing pair, plucked from youth and spirited away.

This year, best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to discover where all the lost children go: the fabled School for Good & Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to be fairy tale heroes and villains. As the most beautiful girl in Gavaldon, Sophie has dreamed of being kidnapped into an enchanted world her whole life. With her pink dresses, glass slippers, and devotion to good deeds, she knows she’ll earn top marks at the School for Good and graduate a storybook princess. Meanwhile Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks, wicked pet cat, and dislike of nearly everyone, seems a natural fit for the School for Evil.

But when the two girls are swept into the Endless Woods, they find their fortunes reversed—Sophie’s dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification, Death Curses, and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the School For Good, thrust amongst handsome princes and fair maidens for classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication.. But what if the mistake is actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are…?"



**I am just over 1/2 finished finally.  This is my audiobook  and I hope to finish in over the next few days while I clean and continue cataloging my books.**

What a way to kick start this blog!  Books!  Of all my interests this one is dominant so I love being able to start with this.

So I am currently reading the following 4 books:

 

 

Finally reading It now that I have seen both parts of the movie.  Hoping to finish it this month but might go into next month.  Reading this with a couple others and not sure how quick we will get through it.  It is a huge book!

The Fellowship of the Ring is a re-read but I never finished the series so back to here we go!

A Mad Zombie Party- The last in this series by Gena Showalter and so very different from the previous books with a complete MC and POV change.

The School of Good and Evil is another re-read but is a great audiobook as I organize my bookshelves this week.
