Libby Audiobook: Atonement, Ian McEwan

 


Really battled to get into it, and quite a few places in the beginning I had to rewind to relisten to it. It was touch & go, and very almost a DNF.

Then while tidying my office this afternoon, I made a converted effort to listen to it.

Actually quite sad, but, there are bits of incredible humour woven in.

3.5/5

Kindle Audiobook: The Survivors, Caroline Mitchell

 


Uhm, I like Caroline Mitchell's work. This was ok. Twisty. Not one of my top favourites of her.

Libby: East of Eden, John Steinbeck

 


So glad to have read / listened to this book. Grew quite fond of the characters and such a fine sense of humour in places.

Cain & Abel / good and bad is our choice.

4.8/5

Library: Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn

 


This was so good! Every chapter is from either Amy Dunne or Nick Dunne's perspective.

Amy is wealthy, marries Nick and they are happy, but go through a rough patch.

On their 5th wedding anniversary, Amy disapears, and it look like Nick killed her. But, it's actually all orchestrated by Amy!!

So enjoyed it!!

5/5

Kindle Unlimited: The Last Guest House, Caroline Mitchell

 


Didn't love this one as much as I love her other work.
A bit all over the place.
Nicola, Matt her boyfriend and son George need to stay over in a weird Guest House in the Isle of Skye. George sees a little girl in the attic, or does he? All patrons have to hand in their phones and are not allowed to leave once they are booked in. 

In between, there is a mystery podcast. 

3/5

Libby Audiobook: Pines, Blake Crouch

 


Had absolutely no idea what this book was about. First of a trilogy. Started off really strong and good a Federal Agent wakes up after a massive car crash, doesn't know where he is. 

Then it got bizarre, and I realised it's science fiction that I really don't like but I was 80% through, so decided to stick it through. 

It then got semi interesting again. If I have absolutely nothing to listen to, then I will tackle the second book.

3.8/5

Libby Audiobook: Let God Fight Your Battles, Joyce Meyer

 


Worship.

Don't just reach out to God when you have a problem. Celebrate him, worship and have fellowship with him. If your child just comes to you with problems without having conversations it would sadden you, why then only reach out to God with problems.

Start your day with joy, celebration and worship with God.

The references, which I understand are important, are distracting , that is why I didn't give it 5/5.

4.5/5
