It's Monday! What are you reading? July 30

So my plan is each Monday to update anyone who reads this on what I'm currently reading and what I may have finished in the last week. Currently Reading: Title:   The Catholic Youth Bible Date Started:  January 1 Note:   Roof Beam Reader  -  Read the Bible as Literature Event Finished Reading: Title :  Atlas Shrugged Author : Ayn Rand Narrator:  Christopher Hurt Date Started : August 23, 2017 Date Finished : July 26, 2018 Stars: 3 of 5 Review: It was a good story, but I could have done with an abridged version. Title: Welcome to Your Authentic Indian Experience Author: Rebecca Roanhorse Narrator: LeVar Burton Date Listened: July 25 Stars:  4 of 5 Review: Great story of past experiences and getting lost in virtual worlds. Title: My Lady's Choosing: An Interactive Romance Novel Author: Kitty Curran and Larissa Zageris Date Started: July 18 Date Finished: July 24 Stars: 5 of 5 Review: I didn't read all the path

Peek Inside a Book - My Lady's Choosing

When I was deciding to come back to the blog I was looking through all the blogging memes that the blogs I read follow. I had done Book Beginnings and The Friday 56 a handful of times, but over at  Mixed Book Bag , JC merged them together and I really like that idea.  So borrowing from her I'm going to start linking up to both Book Beginnings on Friday from  Rose City Reader  and The Friday 56 with  Freda's Voice . This week I'm reading:  My Lady's Choosing: An Interactive Romance Novel  by Kitty Curran & Larissa Zageris It Begins:   "Move that leg, girl!" the dowager Lady Craven hisses as she prods you with her cane. On Page 56 (I went with page 57 this week): Seriously, cripes. Do you try to defeat the evil spy lady? If so, turn to page 84. Or do you  hold back? Ollie, unlike you, is a trained spy, and he can probably handle himself. If so, turn to page 119. Verdict: I'm having so much fun reading this book!

This week I'm reading: Artemis   by Andy Weir It Begins:   I bounded over the gray, dusty terrain toward the huge dome of Conrad Bubble. Its airlock, ringed with red lights, stood distressingly far away. On Page 56: I smacked him on the back of the head and he jerked away from the microscope. He smiled like a child seeing a beloved aunt. "Oh! Hi, Jazz! What's up?" Verdict: So far I'm enjoying the game!
