I owe tons of comments, but....life. Soon, promise.
In the meantime,
17. Travelling to Infinity My Life with Stephen by Jane Hawking
After Stephen Hawking died, I decided I better get to this book before it went on the holds list. I've had it on my wish list for a while and now was a good time. This book was the inspiration for the Eddie Redmayne movie. For those of you who only knew of Hawking from his tv appearances (Star Trek, TBBT), he really was the rock star of physics and quite well renowned. I think we tend to forget that he wasn't always famous, wealthy and had technological and physical 24 hour help. Carers have a tough job and Jane had a really tough one. It's a good read, if a bit depressing at times. I think the outcome was good though. Give it a read.
18. The Selection by Kiera Cass
A new YA dystopian series, a bit reminiscent of "Cinder". I'll read the series, but I think it's pretty popular as the other books are all on a wait list, so I've got the 2nd book on hold. I think it's okay. It was a quick read. I heard it was a cross between "The Hunger Games" and "The Bachelor". Neither of which I've ever read/seen.
19. The Magnolia Story by Chip and Joanna Gaines
This popped up and I grabbed it. When "Fixer Upper" first hit HGTV, I was a fan. Not gonna lie. But after watching for a while; nope. All her houses look exactly the same to me. And her style is not my style at all. I do enjoy watching the demo/building stuff (old fan of "Hometime") but Chip's antics wear after awhile. Also the stuff that's come out in the media re: their faith. It's very present in the book. Just fair warning. I wish them luck but I ain't buying any of their stuff at Target or anywhere else.
What I'm reading now:
20. It Takes Two: Our Story by Jonathan and Drew Scott
Just started this and I do love me some tall men. Hope it doesn't disappoint.
