aka “How did it get to be August already???” :)
Books Read:
Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour by Morgan Matson – I LOVED this book!!! It was so good. The characters were so real. I felt like I was a part of their road trip. I loved the “scrapbook” sections of the book, especially the playlists. There was some good music in that car. :) Definitely one of my faves so far this year.
Seth Baumgartner’s Love Manifesto by Eric Luper – I listened to this on CD on a road trip of my own. I am not generally a fan of audiobooks, as I have the attention span of a gnat and stop listening every once in a while, but after the first couple CDs, this one really sucked me in. I liked Seth. I think I would have liked Dimitri more in written form. I liked his humor, but the voice the reader used for him drove me nuts.
I also read about a third of Sapphique, the sequel to Incarceron. I really liked the first book, but the second does not seem to have the same “magic” as the first. I put it down for a little while so I can get my “PBS Swap reading” done.
