Finished
- Daughter of the Burning City by Amanda Foody – This was a random pick for me to listen to while I worked last week, and I ended finished it in one go. It was quite good! I have learned that binge reading makes me critique books differently than if I take a few days, I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not.
- Death Note Vol. 11 & 12 – These were the last two volumes of the Death Note manga series and they were really good. I forgot about the small differences from the anime, and it still remains one of my favorite anime/manga series.
Currently Reading
- The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien – I used my Audible credit for the Return audiobook and I’m playing catch-up today. So far I’m really enjoying it. It’s darker than the first two books, but it’s moving pretty quickly and all of it is really pulling together.
I never thought about binge reading, and then quickly reviewing giving a different slant to the review. It’s an interesting thing to think about. I am intrigued by the slight differences in the Death Note anime and manga. I was talking to Baz last night about going to the library, now that I can’t use his card without him present. My ex racked up nearly $90 in late fees driving around with my last pile of books borrowed in the backseat of his car, after he left, and I don’t dare ask for a grace waiver because if they decide not to give me one I would have to pay it all at once or be sent to a collections agency. Ugh. I guess I should start a change jar or something to save money to pay it off. Ha ha.
I am really looking forward to re-reading The Hobbit, and Lord of the Rings next year. Are you going to review Return of the King seeing that this is your first time reading it?
My TMT will be very late. I wanted to finish the book I was reading, plus I pulled a bunch of books for Baz to chose his next read from and I wanted to list them. I will get you Facebooked, tweeted and G+’d now. Thanks for TMTing!
Daughter of the Burning City sounds awesome. I love the premise. And Return of the King *nods*
