No foolin'! It's already April~ What are you reading this month?

Finished listening to The Martian by Andy Weir. Loved this book!!! Definitely not something I normally read. It is SciFi but there are no aliens, no highly scientific things. I listened to the audio and the reader was fabulous. I was pulled into the story immediately. It received 5 stars from me which I don't usually give out.

Finishing off Sarah MacLean's last Rules of Scoundrels book: Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover. I'd been maybe a little *too* excited about this one and set my expectations too high... I don't know, I'm just not feeling it as strongly as the others. Still a solid 4*, just not the resounding 5*s I gave the other three books.

Revisiting The Killing Floor by Lee Child, this time on audio book so I can listen while at work.

Finishing Steppenwolf by Hesse and then something happier. Another Stievfater boek maybe.

I thought it was wonderful up to the end. I just can't believe he actually survived!!

I have just started reading One Kick and it already has me hooked!!!

Just finished "The Aviator's Wife" by Melanie Benjamin.

Loved that book! It was great.

I'm reading Shaman by Noah Gordon. It is so interesting. I read his first of the trilogy, "The Physician" last year, but there is a big skip in time, that it's not a problem. Also started The Good Girl on audio. It's an exciting read.

Let me know what you think about 'The Good Girl' ! I've been considering that title for the book discussion collection!

I'll write a quicky review as I am behind on writing reviews for GRs. "Good Girl" is an exciting book. It kept me up one night because I had to keep listening to it. Then after I did finish it, I went back to listen to the last few chapters. It been compared to "Gone Girl," but IMHO "Good Girl" is much better. I connected with the main characters. I also liked the style of the writing. It is broken down into sections where the different characters tell a part of the story. It's been called a thriller, but it's not one in the sense of being scary. I would recommend the book to anyone who likes a good mystery. BTW, the audio is done very well by three different narrators.

My wife and I both devoured this, probably less than a week between the two of us. Fantastic book, connects a scientific subject to people who wouldn't usually read something so science oriented superbly. I myself am a space nut and also enjoyed it. I hope they do a good treatment with the movie, I believe they're filming now.
