I mentioned last week that I was reading The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison and I am pleased to say that I finished it over weekend. I also mentioned that I was using Bookly to keep track of my reading to see what it ends up producing as a graphic. This is what it ended up looking like.
I think I am going to continue keeping track as I start reading my next book which is Still Life by Sarah Winman. I have heard so many good things about this book, to the point that it is one of my Twelve challenge reads. I have read the first 20 or so pages so far and I have to say I am already hooked.
I'm watching...
We finished Wheel of Time last week. While I haven't read the books, my husband has and he spent the whole series basically saying that isn't how it was in the books. I liked it, but given that we watched The Whicher at the same time, I have to say if I had to pick between the two, I would definitely choose The Whicher.
We also started Brooklyn 99. I am kind of surprised that we have never watched it before because we really liked it. We will definitely be watching more.
Life
We were lucky enough to go away for the weekend to a place called Yarrawonga over the weekend. One of my friends, who I met a bookclub we are both no longer involved in, recently retired up there! The town sits right on the state border with New South Wales and is on a lake formed when the Murray River was dammed. For me there is something almost spiritual about the Murray River. Whenever I drive anywhere where I get to see it, I have to take a moment to breathe in deeply and appreciate the moment.
The weekend was filled with a lovely combination of relaxing, swimming, doing touristy things and great company!

DeleteMy husband watched Wheel of Time and loved it. He hadn't read the books, but he said it was one of the best series he'd seen in a long time. - Melinda @ A Web of Stories
ReplyDeleteI will watch the next series, assuming that there is one.
DeleteHow does the app know how many hours you took to read the book?
