Started listening Hereafter by Tara Hudson

 

Hello Bookies,

I started a new audio book. It is still weird for me to fully grasp a book without actually reading it. I probably missed a whole lot trying to listen to this one at work. I'm about a quarter of the way through the book and I feel like I haven't learned anything. All I can remember is that our main character is a young female ghost. She has no memory of why she died but she knows how she died. Also she doesn't remember much about her life before she died. But the story starts of with her trying to save someone who was drowning in the river that she had died in. Eventually she saved him in a way or encouraged him to save himself. The benefit of this is that they boy she saved, who appears to be around her age, can now see her. They can also touch each other even though our ghost girl is dead. But I ended the audio book right when our ghost girl went to school with the boy I think she saved. Also is it bad that I can kind of see where this book is headed? Where we have a ghost fall in love with a mortal and vice versa. Its a predictable storyline but not one that I haven't read much about. I wonder how the author has this one play out that is different than the similar story I read in the past. Got some big shoes to fill.

So until next time...

Manga post #29

 

Hey there Bookies,

I should really stop calling these manga posts if it is only one manga. 

Anyway I just got done reading One Piece volume 17. Still a refresher for me, but it is still nice to be reminded of the things I saw about 100 episodes ago. Also it is just better to read something than see it play through on an anime. Well, Chopper has officially joined the Straw Hat Crew. Even if Luffy only wanted him because he thought he was cool. Nami had to remind everyone or at least inform everyone that Chopper is a doctor. But now they are on their way to Vivi's home to save it from the evil Crocodile. But did I just see a glimpse of a cute pirate named Ace at the end of this volume? Looks like my other favorites will be showing up soon the more I read. Sorry that I don't have much to say. I never do with it comes to these. Just check out the series and you won't be disappointed. 

So until next time...

Almost done listening to Wicked

 

Hey there Bookies,

I have no idea where I left off with my posts on this book. But our main female character is has finally given into her desires for her co-worker? Fellow Order member? I don't really know what he is to be honest. Anyway our lead female character finally has fallen in love and given into her lust. Of course, it took knowing that she could die to finally do it. Also I had to make sure my sound was really low for this part because someone had walked off with my headphones. I don't need looks at work or at home for the spicy scenes in this book. I have enjoyed it so far and am curious if there is a sequel. That is on my to-do list to figure out if this is part of a series. I just need to catch up on my reading first. Anyway I'm still a fan of this author and it was weird to actually not read the book, but when you live a busy life you have to make adjustments. I'm sure I will pick up the book when I get the chance and read it for the parts I missed. But from what I have heard, I really enjoyed the story. I always want to promote any of Armentrout's books because she hasn't disappointed me yet. So go check out this book. I'm not going to tell you the ending just so that you will read this book. Because it's totally worth it. But I'm going to go read or listen to my next book on the list. 

So until next time....

Manga post #28

 

Hey there Bookies,

It's been a while since I did one of these posts and it's all thanks to the website where I've been renting my ebooks and audio books. Turns out they have One Piece, so I can continue reading the series instead of waiting for it to be available at the library. We are currently getting Chopper's back story in this volume and it still is a sad one. But it's always good to read about the background of each crew member and how they became part of the crew. It's still all review for me due to watching the anime but I still enjoy the manga. I wish I could really say more, but that is pretty much all that really happened. Luffy finally got Nami to the doctor. Even risked his life to do so like a good captain. I know we are almost done with Chopper's story with the next volume. Either way I enjoy One Piece and I can see why it has been going on for so long. 

So until next time...

Halfway through Wicked

 

Hey there Bookies,

Listening to an audio book is a weird thing. Especially when there are spicy parts taking place in the book and you are listening to it at work. You can just imagine me getting embarrassed as I slowly turn down the volume. The only downside I have with audio books is that I'm paying attention and not paying attention. I can hear the story being told but I can't tell you if it is being fully registered in my brain. At least with reading, I can go back. I feel like with audio books its a little harder. But anyways, our leading lady has a crush on a fellow hunter or what not. Her roommate is a brownie she saved that has an addiction to sweets and spending our leading lady's money. We got some very powerful fae walking the streets looking for a type of gateway, but no one knows where these gateways are. But they are killing hunters left and right. I ended my listening at the part where another hunter was killed and I think it was a hunter our leading lady had some tension with. I can't be sure. Like I said, I am listening but registering the story is a whole different thing. 

So until next time...

Started Listening to Wicked by Jennifer L. Armentrout

 

Hey Bookies,

I started the audiobook for Wicked by Jennifer L. Armentrout. It's a new experience for me, but it passes the time at work while I do paperwork. The only problem I have is to remember to pause the book instead of just muting my computer. It's a habit when I watch things on my computer. I do it with Youtube Videos too. What caused this habit? Watching fellow streamers. I'm learning y'all. Also, if you haven't noticed, I've embraced my southern side more. Probably has to do with the fact I'm planning on moving to the south.  Anyways, that isn't important.

What is important is talking about Wicked. I'm trying to figure out what this book is about. We got faes and fae hunters. That is all I have picked up. Our lead lady also encounters some unknown creature that she thought was fae but nearly died because I guess she was wrong. And....that is far as I got in the audio book. It takes a while to listen to a story when you are constantly pausing it for customers and phone calls. This is why I like books more but the wait list was too long. And I'm impatient. Hopefully, I can give you a better update next time. 

So until next time...

Long time no see

 Hello Bookies,

Man, when was the last time I made a post on here. I actually think I forgot all about you. Sorry. Anyways, I've been super busy that I didn't have time to read much anymore. But I've discovered a thing called audio books. I was highly against them, but they are nice to listen to when you need to fill the silence while doing beadwork. I finished The Glittering Court through audio book. Also I finished Cryptic Cravings finally through an ebook. I was so against going digital, but sometimes you have no choice. Especially when you have no idea if your local library is open or not. Hopefully, I can get back to reading and start posting about books again. Thanks for understanding my time away. I'll try to do better.

Thanks y'all and see you next time,

Lys Robison
