Week in Review (11)

Life

A lot has happened in a week. The coronavirus is in Canada now. As of this morning, we are at over 200 cases. It's not in my province yet, but it is just a matter of time. My work is still open. We only left the house this weekend to go to the grocery store. I still need to eat for work, so I had to get some perishables. The stores were pretty picked over. I have been finding it hard to disconnect from it all. I usually do not watch the news or anything, but it's all anyone is talking about everywhere. So, not a lot of reading going on at the moment!

Bookopoly

I rolled Young Adult Fantasy and listened to A Court of Thorns and Roses on audio.

I rolled Amazon, my train stations are where I bought the book from, and I read Empire of Sand.

Weekly Reading

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas ~ I have tired to read Maas in the past, but just was not able to connect with her. Then, Audible had this series on sale and I decided to give the audios a try. It worked out well because I enjoyed this and look forward to reading the sequel. I had never tried to read this series by her before, just her other one, but it could be that she is one that I enjoy the audios, but would have disliked reading the book. We will see what I think of the sequels!

Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri ~ I am sad. This book is why my reading was so slow this month. It was a slow book and I wasn't sure if I even liked it. The people that inspired me to read this were giving it 5 out of 5 stars, so I think I set myself too high of expectations for it. It mostly just meant it took me a while to get into it, but then when I did, I did end up enjoying it and binged the rest. And, I plan to read the companion novel. I am still not sure what I would rate it if I did rate it. I think it is one that I will have to let settle for a while.
