This week's conversation starter:

July 11th What are some of your reading habits, good and bad?

Good and bad. Oh I do not know. To good I will count these days my willingness to leave a bad book behind.There are too many books in the world, I can not read them all. So walking away from an just ok one is fine with me.

Bad ones I would count that I have a hard time listening to audio books. It works best if I am out walking. Cos if I try to do it indoors I need my earplugs cos else I hear everything else. So a bad habit is that it takes like a month for me to finish them.

EDIT: This was written in March and update is needed. I have mastered the arts of audiobooks :D I went from finishing one in a month if lucky to in a few days.

A good habit that is kind of bad too is that when I read a book I like I can just read for hours and forget everything. Like peeing.

One bad habit is I sometimes read too fast, I just can not stop myself, sometimes I really love the book and just want to get to the end. And sometimes I am meh about a book and yes just want to get to the end.

But I would say I have good reading habits, I read, that is a good habit :)

Hi All! 

This is just a fun little meme that Carole and I are going to try  and do once a month. Give a little shout-out and "badge" of honor to our favorite book and movie of the previous month. This month we'll share our favorites of June.

Favorite movie:

For Me....LIFE 

"I watched 4 movies in June. I know right, omg. 4! Of course only one we managed to watch in a single night. None were awesome, but if I have to choose I will go with Life. Sure I did not always keep attention, but omg that ending. That was awesome!"

For Carole.....The Secret Life of Pets

"I didn't watch many movies last month. But this one was good. I love animated films and especially ones about animals. It was super cute and worth the watch even if you're an adult. That cat was for sure my soul animal."

Favorite book:

MY pick is Assassin's Fate by Robin Hobb

"I did not read any truly awesome books either. I read good books and the best one has to go to Assassin's fate because it was the last one in the trilogy and I will miss Fitz and the gang."

Carole's pick is Heart of Stone by Debra Mullins

"Again, nothing crazy good this month, but I did have a couple really good. The best one was Heart of Stone which is a sequel and in some ways better than the first book. The first book was better, but this was almost as good. I loved the characters and the story and the world. So good. I can't wait to read the last book of the series."
