CPL's Book a Week Challenge discussion

Did everyone survive the monsoon? I was amazed at the pictures people posted on Facebook. I hope everyone was safe and nothing was damaged!

So what was the original British title of 1851's Moby Dick? It was called The Whale! Do you know which country reads more books per capita than any other? Take a guess on our Book Trivia page.

What is everyone reading this week? I've started a book called The Invisible Library and so far it's been great. I love adventure stories involving books. I also have a fairy tale retelling called Forbidden Wish on my list to read this week. I picked up the four volumes of Grant Morrison's Batman and Robin that I might also try to get to. We'll see how much I get done.

Let us know what you are reading this week!

Trying to determine what my next book will be - I'm reading three right now but they are not calling to me to read them - so I keep picking something else up...

I just finished The Invisible Library! I really enjoyed it, so I'll be interested in seeing what you think of it. :) However, I listened to the audio book, and I was NOT a fan of the narrator, even though the story kept me listening.

Otherwise I don't think I'll meet my goal this year, but that's alright, I've had a lot going on, and I'm still reading as much as I can, so I'm okay with it if I don't.

This week I am reading Incubus Dreams by Laurell K. Hamilton. After that I have three books checked out from the library to read: Imprudence by Gail Carriger, Bullseye by James Patterson, and Hero of the Empire: the Boer War, a Daring Escape, and the Making of Winston Churchill by Candice Millard (all of which looked very interesting).

I really enjoyed it as well! The story was great and I loved the characters. There were times I wasn't a big fan of the writing as I thought it jumped a bit or had too much explaining- though I'm not sure if that would be noticeable on audio. I'm sorry the narrator wasn't good. Was it their voice or something else? I'm waiting for the sequel from Norfolk... hopefully it will be available soon!
