Last week, I started listening to the audiobook of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. It's kind of confusing, and I can't go back to reread. It's also striking me as really sad, so I'm having a hard time with it.
I got a bunch of books from the library: Blackout by John Rocco, Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident by Eoin Colfer; Incarnate by Jodi Meadows (reading right now---LOVE IT!) and the audio of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Thanks! I plan on it :)
DeleteI am listening to the audiobook for The Night Circus as well! I agree that it is a bit confusing. It really helps me to have a hard copy of the book with me, so I can refer to it when I miss part of the audiobook.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had checked out a paper copy instead of the audio. I thought I could listen during my commute (which usually works in my favor). Its making me really sad, too, I don't like Celia's relationship with her father (in the beginning---I haven't gotten that far)
DeleteArtemis Fowl forever! I have heard great things about The NIght Circus, now I want to read it even more.
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely read it, not listen to it!
Delete:)
I did not love The Night Circus, but I did love having Jim Dale in the car with me for a few weeks! There were some really lovely and interesting bits, but it wasn't a favorite for me. I recently read Broken Harbor by Tana French and loved it. I definitely recommend her Dublin Murder Squad series.
ReplyDeleteI could listen to Jim Dale read the phone book. Its really funny b/c I just finished listening to Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince (which he also narrates)...and some of the character voices are the same! I got a good giggle out of it!
DeleteGood to know. I want to read Night Circus, but I'll get a paper version of the book. I love Artemis Fowl.
ReplyDeleteIts interesting, but it makes me sad. I don't know if its interesting enough for me to keep going (which also makes me sad)

ReplyDeleteI just finished reading Blackout with my 3yo at bedtime. So much to talk about in those pictures. And I can't wait to hear what you have to say about The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. I thought it was amazing. Perhaps one of my favorite picture books of all time. Reminded me a little of the movie Up.

Hi Amanda, I have The Night Circus lying unloved in my bookshelves, I hope to read it sometime soon. Sad to hear that you didn't quite resonate with it. :) Glad to see an Artemis Fowl title here - I enjoyed the series a few years back, I have yet to hear the last two ones. :) Enjoy the rest of your week!
