I know this is a crafting blog, but I do want to categorize my reading summaries somewhere, and I feel like this is the best place to do it.
Besides, it's my blog. Sod off.
My New Years resolution this year has been to read 12 books in 12 months. My list is constantly evolving, and based on suggestions from fellow book worms and non-bookworm acquaintances alike.
I'm mixing a bit with read books and audiobooks, because I'm still in clinical rotations and I don't always have time to sit down and actually read every day (unless it's a textbook...)
Here's my progress so far, and my reviews for the month of January.
The Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss
My rating: 3/5
My husband really wanted me to read this series, and I happily obliged. However, it was not what I expected. I'm not sure how to explain without spoiling it, other than to say that the original story you start with isn't the story that's actually being told. About 30 pages in, you start getting background story for the main character, which apparently takes up the rest of the TRILOGY of books.
Don't tease me with a story and then take it away.
Sharp Objects - Gillian Flynn (audiobook)
My rating: 5/5
Holy shit, I love this author. She's dark and twisted, but her stories are riveting. This one is probably my favorite of the 3, so far. READ THIS BOOK.
Unintended Consequences - Stuart Woods (audiobook)
My rating: 3/5
Meh. I listened to it on a 10 hour drive. It's not bad, but it's just...okay.
Cresent Dawn - Clive Cussler
Again, I listened to this on a log car ride - and I have no idea what it was about, really. Maybe a sunken ship and some stolen treasure? I think it took place in Turkey.
Let's hope I can stay on pace for February. :)
