I had to turn on the A/C in my house today because I was MELTING.<br /><br />Thanks for the shout out! I'm glad you enjoyed DARK MATTER. It's different, but in a good way :) Very original and compelling. Crouch's Wayward Pines series is a lot different from DARK MATTER, but it makes for very compelling reading. You'll whip through the books as fast as you can until you figure out just what in the world is going on!<br /><br />I just heard about BEHIND HER EYES today. I'm excited to read it. I'll try to keep my eyes covered and ears plugged so I don't read/hear any spoilers. Sounds like it's the kind of book that is best read without knowing anything going into it.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-78062034822020646582017-02-14T08:14:46.096-06:002017-02-14T08:14:46.096-06:00I think every part of the country is sick right no...I think every part of the country is sick right now. Just a bad flu year, I think. Audible did return my credit. I've rarely used that feature, but glad it's there. Sigh. I hesitated about sharing my reaction to THE GIRL BEHIND, but then I decided I would. I know that my issues with it will not be a deal breaker for others. We all have our preferences. Or maybe it was just that I listened to it. I've found sometimes that certain things resonate more for me when I'm listening to a book as opposed to reading it in print.

I hope you are managing to stay healthy.<br /><br />As soon as I read your comments on The Girl Behind I went to my library's website and cancelled my hold. I can tell from your reaction that I would have a problem with the book too. By the way, I hope you know that Audible will refund your credit on that audiobook.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-63887912031698085702017-02-13T21:35:06.743-06:002017-02-13T21:35:06.743-06:00The Girl Before was a frustrating book, and I took...The Girl Before was a frustrating book, and I took offense with the idea of renting from such a control freak...LOL.

I'm loving the rain we've been getting though. It's wonderful. I do feel for those who had had to deal with flooding and mudslides though. The flu has hit hard here too. So many of my coworkers have been out. It's made us extra busy at work as a result. <br /><br />I am sorry about your DNF audio book. The others you did finish all sound good though. I really want to read Dark Matter.<br /><br />I hope you had a nice visit with your daughter and son-in-law. Have a great week!

I think it would be visually interesting. <br /><br />And I don't want to talk about snakes. Oh my word - last year was a banner year for our neighborhood with poisonous snakes.

I'll be watching for what that author writes next. <br /><br />As to THE GIRL BEFORE, I think my mind went to the 50 Shades thing because the controlling and sex were sort of linked. I agree that the sex scenes were not the main focus. I think we all have our 'hot buttons' and it seems this book pushed a couple of mine. I'm so glad that you commented on your experience with it. I'm pretty sure this will be a 'like it or not' sort of book. Now, have you read BEHIND HER EYES? I'd love to know what you thought about that one.

We have definitely had our share of squirrels around lately, too; it's been so warm the past few days - sheesh! I think the snakes are back, too, and I'm not extremely excited about that; everything is confused.

I'm not certain where everyone is getting this 50 Shades vibe. The sex scenes are brief and not overly detailed and are designed to develop the characters' personalities. They are definitely not the main focus of the story. But, that is how we all end up reading different books even when we read the same one! <br /><br />Have a great week!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160951421693455864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-77638260422137148332017-02-13T06:37:48.466-06:002017-02-13T06:37:48.466-06:00It's different, but compelling, Lisa.

And with allergies, I don't open the windows. <br /><br />Ajo was really good. Really good. I had the seared scallops and the wedge salad. My husband raved about his salad, which was the field greens with some kind of wonderful dressing. Our kids are very adventurous eaters and go all over town. And it had a been a long time since I'd been to downtown Round Rock. Wow! What a change there. Lots of little shops and open areas and restaurants.
