I'm starting a reading adventure. It's outside of my comfort zone, but Gonzales' reading at #VABook2017 had me hooked. Here's hoping I like the rest of the book as much.

8leagueboot I hope you have so much fun with it! I have heard only wonderful things and this is on my TBR. 7y
WanderingBookaneer This is my next audiobook after I finish my current one and listen to the one I just got from the library. 7y

Book mail today! After my trip to #VABook2017, I told myself no new books for a long time. I'd forgotten is preordered this. Lucky me!!!

Megabooks It's great!! My BOTM choice last month. (edited) 7y
LitHousewife @Booksandcooks I'm pretty sure I preordered it because of you. Thank you!!! 7y

History of Wolves | Emily Fridlund
post image
Mehso-so

Well, the writing of this book was gorgeous. I wanted to love it. I read the first 2/3 in two days. Then I took a long ride on the struggle bus to finish it. Based on the author's talk at #VABook2017, I was expecting a pretty big reveal between the two sections. That didn't materialize. I don't understand Linda's motivation and am confused over the purpose. I wanted to love this, but the ending especially made me question why I bothered to finish.

Coleen Struggle bus...love it! 😂 7y
LitHousewife @Coleen I can think of no better way to describe it. I would have finished it a day earlier, but with 3 pages to go, I opted to turn off the lights. 7y

Now I'm going to start my first #VABook2017 read, History of Wolves. I enjoyed Emily Fridlund's panel and because I love the wolf on the front of the hard cover. Here's hoping this book is as excellent as my Book Riot friend waiting in line said it was. She said it was her favorite book so far this year.

Megan is behind the mic stand in my view - Boo! - but I'm loving the conversation and just might have to break down and buy a John Hart novel, too. I ❤❤❤ book festivals!!! #VABook2017

LitHousewife Okay. I officially love John Hart as a person. I'm buying his book. 7y

Soon and very soon Megan Abbott will be taking the stage. #VAbook2017

Normally I'm impatient, but I just had a 60 minute Swedish massage and I feel like a million bucks. The therapist said, "You're one stressed out lady!" Not any more. #lifeisgood

My second session at #VaBook2017 features Kayla Rae Whitaker, Grady Hendrix, and Manuel Gonzales. This should be good!
