BOOKS READ IN 2018
Ahhhhhh! Again! This blogger platform changed and doesn't work the way it did 2 years ago. I HATE change. Anyway, I lost this page and now in order to 'see' it, the easiest way to make it work is change this into a 'post'. It seems a similar thing changed back when I wrote the next paragraph (2 years ago).
It seems I will give up looking to add to the cool list of books I posted in 2017. It seems I have no idea how to get to that page to edit. It seems I will need to find an alternative because I want to keep track of the books I have read because (it seems) the sieve of my grey cells makes it impossible to remember a damn thing unless I write it down!
Since I am beginning in July I will probably have huge gaps in the list already - but believe that my reading time has diminished a lot due to my new part-time job I started in January of 2018 at the library. You'd think that I could spend most of my time reading quietly at my desk... but not so. Being a librarian means I have NO time to read but feel obligated to read all the new books etc so I can suggest good ones to patrons. I also have to find time to read books not of my typical genre - kids books, espionage, fantasy, and tons of others.

I still can't remember a title or an author when asked. Thats why this blog is a godsend. The disintegrating bag of stinky cheese on top of my head (usually referred to as my brain) continues to age sorrowfully.
ps. titles with * mean it was a favourite
titles in Yellow were Book Club books

I have the whole Call the Midwife series of books. My niece sent them to me because I was visiting her out of state and we were drinking wine and getting all sappy about having kids and she insisted I needed to read them. They do look good and I love the subject matter but have not cracked them open yet. I will have to start the first one. Once I'm into it, I know I'll want to finish the series. I buy books for my niece who is 13 and I read them first to make sure they are appropriate for her. I recently read The Girl Who Drank the Moon and really liked it. It's a fantasy kind of story. Very whimsical and charming. Suitable for older pre-teens and teens.
ReplyDeleteI love keeping up with 'call the midwife' on Netflix. Its one of those series that hubby and I watch together (not that I expected him to be into watching slippery, wrinkled screaming things enter the world).
