Third of the way through Fairy Tale

 

Hello Bookies,

I am finally a third of the way through this monster of a book. I've been using the audiobook more because the size of this book intimidates me. Sadly the physical book I have to keep track of where I am has to go back. I did request another copy but who knows when it will be here. This is a popular book right now in the library system. I am just now getting into the whole other world section and now the book has to go back. Luckily I can keep the audiobook for a little bit longer but I won't be able to keep track of my reading progress. I'll be a little bit happy when I finally reach the halfway point in this book. It will be the farthest I have been with any Stephen King book. Big accomplishment there. I should have picked a smaller book for my goal of reading and finishing a Stephen King book, but this book kept staring at me on the shelves at work, so I grabbed it. If I can make it through this one, I can make it through anyone. Or at least I hope so. Wish me luck.

So until next time....

Finished reading The Invisible Life of Addie Larue

 

Hello Bookies,

I actually finished this book yesterday but I needed it to sink in a bit. The book was pretty good and who would have thought that love would make Addie finally give in to the darkness? The only complaint I had was that it was slow and just about Addie adjusting to her long life and surviving. The book also switches times throughout and if you aren't paying attention, it can get confusing. It also follows different people from time to time and that also gets confusing if you aren't paying attention. This is a book that you have to pay attention to know what is going on in the book and it has to be taken in sections because it kind of drags on. I am a little disappointed in the end and kind of wish that there was more to it, but maybe that is what the author wanted. I'm honestly not a huge fan of this book but I can see the appeal to it. The book gets two out of five stars from me. It was okay but not for me. 

So until next time....

About halfway through The Invisible Life of Addie Larue

 

Hello Bookies,

I'm really trying with this book. I can see the appeal of this book but this is something I don't normally read. The book is a little slow. Okay, it is really slow. Nothing really exciting happens in the book and it is basically just Addie complaining about not being remembered. Then she meets someone that remembers her, but that is only because he made a deal himself. The only reason why I'm still listening to this book is to find out what is the straw that will break the camel's back. What will make Addie finally break down and sell her soul to the devil? After learning how to survive in a world where no one remembers her and living a lonely life, what will finally make her end it? That is the reason why I still go. I'll try to update more, but like Gone Girl, this book has to be taken in small sections. Also my life is so chaotic, it is hard to listen to anything. Wish me luck.

So until next time....

Started reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King

 

Hello Bookies,

You are probably wondering what I've been up to since I haven't posted in a few days. I'm still listening to the other book but I also decided to take on this monster of a book. I'm going to reach my goal where I finish as Stephen King book. I figured why not his latest one and grabbed this off the shelf with it's audiobook. It is going pretty good. Not much is going on other than the main character's background information and how he took on the pity to help out a lonely old man in need because it is what he is supposed to do to pay God back for getting his father sober. There are a lot of mysteries going on right now that I don't have the answers to. Also I feel like I'm making good progress on the audiobook by getting threw three of the twenty discs but then I update the progress on Goodreads, only to find out that I am not even halfway through the book. Like I said before, this is a monster of a book but I plan on finishing it before it goes back to the library. Wish me luck.

So until next time...

Started reading Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab

 

Hello there Bookies,

I have a confession. I have seen book recommendations of this book and they aren't that great. But all I remember them mentioning in the book recommendations is that the book is about Addie Larue. A girl who lives a long life while no one remembers her at all. Some people who have read this book feels like Addie kind of lives this long life as wasted time. They believe that Addie could have done so much but she doesn't. I'm curious what this book is about. Not a lot of people like it but I'm excited to check it out. I have the audiobook for now and the physical copy is sitting in my locker at work. I should remember to grab it when I stop at work again tomorrow. Well, wish me luck with this book.

So until next time...

Almost done reading The Fault in Our Stars

 Hello Bookies,

I went through this book faster than I thought I would. It only took me two days with the audiobook. I did read some chapters myself but mostly did the audiobook. My old knee injury is acting up so I had a lot of time on my hands while I sat and iced my knee while keeping it bandaged up. Being immobile has its perks I guess. The book is exactly what I thought it was. A tragic romance between two teenagers suffering from an incurable disease. Hazel's cancer isn't so bad but her lungs are badly damaged from it though. Sadly her love only suffered from bone cancer that ended up spreading throughout his body like wildfire. Which you can guess what happened. I can see how this book got a movie deal. I do plan on watching the movie now that I read the book. It will be added with another movie based on a book I read. This book was kind of interesting to see life in a different point of view. There were also some funny parts that made me chuckle. I can't say that I loved the book but I did enjoy it. I'll give it about three out of five stars.

So until next time...

Started reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

 

Hello there Bookies,

I grabbed another book I have yet to read on my bookshelf. Well, it was more like the huge pile on my desk of books I still need to read. I've been looking to reading this book when it turned into a movie. I don't remember much about what the book is about or the movie. All I can remember it deals with two characters finding love that are also suffering from cancer. I don't have high expectations with this book. Only because I have a history with books that everyone likes and I don't like them. We will just have to read the book and find out. Good thing I also got the audiobook for this book as well in case I lose the motivation to actually read the book.

So until next time...
