Everything, everything

Absolutely loved this book. Cute illustrations, emails, instant messages and definitions weaved into this narrative. A young love story with a touch of drama. Highly recommend this quick read!

A couple of audiobooks

I regularly listen to audiobooks to and from work. It takes me into my third space, I tune in, and block out the worries of the workday and I'm able to not "take" them home. I have an hour commute both ways, so I manage to devour a book in a week. It's been a while and the audiobooks on my to be read pile were piling up. In fact I currently have over a dozen waiting for me to play them.

One of the titles I added earlier in the year was Michelle Bridges Make it Happen. I couldn't remember adding it, but I'm glad I did. It was completely not like I was expecting. Part biography and part positive psychology, it was an engaging story about her life and successes. Each chapter finished with a toolbox for success. I think I would replay this one when I need to shift my mindset. It reminded me of the seven habits of highly successful people.

The second title was added after looking at an Oprah email with a list of must reads this Spring. It sounded intriguing. It's called Universal Harvester. It has been listed in the horror/thriller genre but I think it's more intriguing. Partly due to the style of the author, he consistently shifts timeframes and the narrator. This adds to the intrigue and you just want to know why things happened. You really don't know until the last chapter, I was waiting for that explosive ending like Gone Girl but it really was a tragic story.

Jonathan unleashed

This was an advanced copy from Goodreads. I thought it would be an enjoyable read and actually liked the first half of the book. But when Jonathan becomes "unleashed" it just became bizarre and ridiculous, and not even a satisfying ending. Don't bother!
