[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an avid reader that really fell off the train with kids but audible got me back on board. I listen when I clean the kitchen, when I go to the store, while I drive, and sometimes I just go upstairs after the kids are in bed and lie in a dark room and listen. I would probably like to have a physical book in those times, and whenever I fly I ALWAYS buy a book to read, and very much love turning the pages. But I just don't have the time for it, and I tend to be a book binger. Once it gets going, I just cannot put it down, and listening helps me with that. I have just never been someone who can read for a half hour, I will look up and its been two hours!

And yes I gave up on reading whatever people say you are supposed to read and just read something that interests me. I forced myself through Malibu Rising recently because a bunch of people recommended it and I was like, meh, at the end (it was well written I was just not that into it for whatever reason)[/quote]

OT: Malibu Rising just wasn't that good. You might consider her earlier books.[/quote]

Ooh, read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It’s much better.[b] One of them was Mick Riva. [/b]

PS - She has a new book coming out in August[/quote]

I am the pp that didn't love MR and this is not a selling point for evelyn hugo hahaha[/quote]
I’m the PP and I agree, Mick was my least favorite of the husbands? Just noting the connection between Malibu, which I didn’t much like, and Evelyn Hugo, which I did.[/quote]

I just finished Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and I loved / hated it. 
It was not about what I thought it would be about, but half way through I vowed to keep going just to find out what was the reason Monique was asked to write…. After lots of tears and big feelings at the ending, I just realized it was the same author as Malibu Rising! Such drama!
I need to take a break from that author for awhile. (Too much drama.)[/quote]

I loved Daisy Jones & the Six (also by this author) but maybe because I’m a huge music fan and loved going “Behind the Music” in such a gossipy, dramatic way.

I didn’t love her other books, though. Just finished her most recent one (Carrie Soto) and thought it was meh. Liked the relationship with her dad, but felt like she herself was boring and her character development was predictable. If you’re a tennis fan, you might love it. But I found it dull compared to DJ&S.[/quote]
