54% Listening to John Green narrate his own audio book. I've appreciated John and Hank Green since the days when my children pointed us to vlogbrothers back in the day. The audio book sounds like many of his youtube videos, and I have a great appreciation for his very personal, relatable and intelligent essay style.

Audible daily deal for a book I've wanted to read for a long time. Count me in!

I just got this on an audible promotion. I love hearing Stephen King narrate his own work.

Tom Hanks narrates this edition, borrowed from Overdrive!

So relatable! Loving this!

So far I am *loving* the intelligent (and relatable) way this book is written!

I normally don't do hardcover books, but this is a loan (I prefer that my first interaction with a new title be a loan, so I can decide to buy later). Every few pages I need a break, but on my Kobo I can read for hours and you have to tear me away from it. This, friends, is why I prefer e-readers! That having been said, I like the book so far.

Book just arrived (Hardcover) from the library. will get started on it tomorrow.

Getting to a part of the book that had so much more potential for creativity, and settles on something that I found to be more like The Matrix. But I will finish it, and I am liking the book overall.

I got a Kobo Libra for my birthday. Anyone who knows me knows I read best with E-ink readers, and this is wonderful! I especially love the physical page turn buttons, and the ability to read in landscape mode. The screen is also slightly bigger (7").

I am enjoying this book a lot! I can see why it's a bestseller and I get the hype so far. I hope the story is as interesting with each subsequent update.

"I believe God loves each of us unconditionally, but I don’t think that means we get to squander the gifts and talents he’s given us simply because we’re good enough already. A caterpillar is awesome, but if the caterpillar stopped there—if she just decided that good is good enough—we would all miss out on the beautiful creature she would become."

Tiffany left the shearing sheds way behind. No one was watching. Sheared sheep took no notice at all of a girl moving without her feet touching the ground.

"To look after us, thought Tiffany. Hundreds of tough little men who could each win the Worst Broken Nose Contest need someone to look after them?"

"She’d read the dictionary all the way through. No one told her you weren’t supposed to."
