May 22nd: Are you more inclined/ less inclined to read books that are compared to other popular books or authors?

Definitely LESS inclined!!!!!! I actually really hate when they do that.

Read this books, it is Fifty Shades meets The Hunger Games meets Game of thrones...riiiights, cos that makes so much sense. Honestly stop it, stop it! When they do that there is always one book I will not like from those. One author whose works makes me yawn or whose books I would never ever read. It does not make me want to read it then. That whole read this cos it's like this turns me away from it.

Even if they said like, this is Harry Potter meets The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy (two awesome series!), I would still be all, come on! Be serious! I doubt it is all that! And I would roll me eyes.

Because it is never like that! They compare and I  am all, whaat? Where is Harry Potter in this? There is certainly no creepy Twilight here. Why was this compared to 50 shades? Hunger Games? What Games?

SO yes, stop it. Or read the actual book and the books you compare it to.

We had 3 cold days! Horrible.

TMST. Mean theme

March 27th: How do you feel about the whole mean girl/boy theme?

 I always forget these day to write a post! Mommy brain! Also every time I mean to do it Luci shows up and I forget ;) Honestly the whole mean girl/boy thing is so tiresome. I get bullies, those are idiots. But then there are so pure mean types that are just mean for now reason. The books you read where you just go what a bitch! And it's most often girls and it's so often in YA. Why do they make teenage girls so bitchy? I never met any like that. Sure we had the tough girls, and I did not like them, but when I try to remember, nope, I do not think they were mean. Those they did call my friend Barbie hair and I never forget. But they were more bullies that way. Though now when I write what the heck is the difference? Mean girls are bullies.

But the books and movies make them different you know. There are bullies, there are those silly mean girls. And all in all, no I do not like it, like I said I get bullies, those want to feel bigger. While mean girls just seem to be so far up their own asses that they can not see the light.

 February 20th: How do you find time to read?

It used to be, anywhere and everywhere, and anytime. Now, ha! At first when Baby S was little it was when she slept on me. I read a lot back then. Then she started to say no to those 6 hours feedings/naps.

That is when I started to read less and listen more. At one time I was on a 4 walk sched, that turned into a 3 walk sched, that now is a 2 walk schedule and I usually send SO on that last one. But anyway that is when I listen! I talk a 1 hour walk with her and listen. I also listen to 1.8 speed since omg, slow, can NOT do slow. Which means I get almost 2 hours like that ;)

Then there are mornings when I wake and do not want to disturb her and I just listen to a book for 2 hours. Or like when I had trouble falling asleep if she woke me in the night. Audio!

Reading I get when she is sleeping outside.

So that is when I find time to read :)

 This is where I get my audio time (well not today cos I was taking pics and SO was with me)

 The two that cut down on my reading time

December 12th Books Disappointments of 2017

 I got this one for xmas 16 or for my bday, and this Fall I finally got to it, but blergh. So dull!

I sure had bigger hopes than DNF!

I wanted so much more from this series but it ended with one big boring bang. Total waste of a series!

Why did I force myself to try and finish this series?! I just wanted to know how it ended. Did I? Nope, it was a convoluted mess that I just gave up on.

Do you see a theme? Yes, fantasy often disappoint me the most cos I want more. And this is another series I will not read more from.

I love fantasy fantasy the most, and when it fails it hurts me the most,

 November 14th: What were your favorite surprise books of the year?

I think instead of picking a book here and there I will just say that Audio was my surprise book of the year. Yes I listened to audio before. I went from 1 a year, to 1 that took 6 months, down to 1 a month. But it was not before Baby S was born that I really started to enjoy audio. And for the last few months my favorite book of the month has been an audiobook! The experience is just different. And even a book that I knew might just be good if I had read it, turns out to be great when listening. Because of that little extra something.

I mostly listen when I take her out for a walk. And since I want to get a lot of listening time in those walks are at least 50 min long. And at last 2 walks a day. I am also terribly hooked on listening to at least 1.7 speed. Omg the slower ones drives me insaaaaaaane. I just can not anymore.

arghhhh something is wrong with GR! I can't  remember stuff like this on my own! Books read show as unread. Sigh. I will give you one book then.

A recent surprise as I usually like contemporary, but they are never great. Just good. Which is good

October 17th: If you could have a paranormal gift what would it be and why?

What, only one gift!? How to choose then?

• Ok take Wolverine, sure it would be good to heal, but to live that long. Hmm, yes books are good but still.
• To hear thoughts would just be creepy. To stop time would be good in a way. Like take a long nap or read a book, but then when you have read that book you do need a nap and yes complicated.
• Fly, why?
• Telekinesis, if I am too lazy to do something, sure, but still nah
• To see the future...noooo. What if it is scary!?

• You know what, I am just gonna go with Hiro's gift from Heroes. He could travel through time, maybe he could also stop time? I do not remember, but I wanna time travel! Go back in time to every cool period. Do something fun and then be back to the exact time I left. Omg I could be gone for days. read book and chillax and then nothing has passed. yes
