What have you read in 2014?
My reading this year led me to a special trip to the Indianapolis Musuem of Art to see "Funky Bones" which is visited in the Fault in Our Stars.
Wow, that's incredible and I'm so proud of you for accomplishing your goal! I also think this is a great way to keep track of the books you've read. I bought a couple of books earlier this year to find out, after reading the first paragraph, that I had already read them! This would have came in handy!! :)
ReplyDeleteI read the book first and I loved getting to experience that! I was so happy and excites that I almost cried. I think I started to when I got there.
ReplyDeleteI don't have time to actually "read", but I am a huge fan of audio books. It is perfect for someone with a long commute. Imagine sitting in traffic relishing the extra time you get to spend listening to your newest book instead of being frustrated. You should try it. I get most of my audio books free from the library or online. If I really want a new book, then I may purchase it from iTunes or Audible.
ReplyDeleteI listened to Inferno and Heaven is for Real this year. I am currently making my way through all 7 of the Harry Potter books. I am currently on book 6, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
One of my favorite audio books this year has been Lamb - the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Friend, by Christopher Moore. It is laugh out loud funny. I highly recommend it.
How long does it take you to listen to a book? I've thought about that a few times esp when I'm sitting in traffic. I enjoy reading but don't have a lot of time either.
DeleteIt depends on the book. I can tell you it is much faster and easier to listen than it is to read.
