Tome Topple & Update

-
Tome Topple ended last night at 11:59 PM.  At the time of tome topple we were transitioning into in our new house, and I was only able to read to the tome that I had, which was Dragonfly in Amber.  I had been hoping to read Game of Thrones, but it was among the books that were still in storage.  In Dragonfly in Amber I got as far as page 632.  I'm so excited that I am able to get this far in a book that is over 500 pages, and not a YA.  I think there are some YA books that I have read and finished that are over  500 pages.

1Q84
# of Pages: 897

ElfQuest
# of Pages: 242

I started a tome TBR inspired by the tome topple readathon.
Tome TBR
·         Voyager (by Diana Gabaldon)
·         The Name of the Wind (by Patrick Rothfuss)

·         Game of Thrones(Reread) (G.R.R. Martin)
I will be adding more to this list.  The Name of the Wind is a book I am asking for Christmas so hopefully I will receive it.

I got my new mattress and was able to place my bedding on it!

Hello Beautiful Review

-
Review for Hello Beautiful By: Ann Napolitano             “Hello Beautiful” is a fictional drama of the relationship between William, a young man with basketball dreams and his wife, Julia. After tragedy strikes, the relationship between William and Julia, along with the rest of the family, starts to fall apart as truths and secrets are revealed. Side-note—I listened to the audio book and was pleasantly surprised at hearing the narration by Maura Tierney, an actress I’m familiar with.  Her soothing voice also delivers the emotions of these characters.              I found myself drawing similarities between “Hello Beautiful” and the classic novel “Little Women”, which Napolitano includes in the story.  Julia Padavano, and her three sisters each love and identify with the four March girls in “Little Women”, claiming the one they identify with th...
