I like it CestLaVie. My library doesn’t have hoopla either. They have another way to do audiobooks but the selection isn’t the best

I just noticed that they signed on with RB Digital which supposedly has better selection than Hoopla. Will have to see, because overdrive has tons available but absolutely nothing I want to read lol.

Reading a book called the night bird. Very good so far. Murder mystery. I’m pretty sure I’ll finish it in the next few days.

I just finished Watch me Dissappear. Slow start, decent ending.
I need something to read for my 3hr GTT this Friday.

If you’re interested in his dark materials, do not, I repeat, do not watch the movie (the golden compass). The worst. Sooo bad!

Finished marrow island this morning. So much disappointment. I finally started enjoying it about 60% in and then the ending had me going wtf. The opposite of what we talked about last night happened I had 5 minutes left and i thought how can they possibly finish this book? Then it ended and I wondered if chapters were missing or if there was a second book.

I decided against the book of dust. I was scrolling threw some of the ebooks H got for free (we are prime members and get one free book a month. He usually picks) anyway I was surprised to see a book that’s been my list for almost a year. If I remember right RunsforWineandCarbs recommended it... The last Girl. Going to search for a new audio book too

I want to read The Last Mrs Parrish. I looked it up after RunsforWineandCarbs read it and then I saw it again the other day on Reese Witherspoon's book club too. I just finished I'll Have What She's Having and it was funny and light. Basically she just tries all the craziest celeb diets and writes what happens haha.
