Library Haul #1

-
Still feeling awkward doing videos.  I can't bring myself to do them at home in my apartment, because the walls are so thin, I don't want my neighbors to hear me.  Even a normal speaking voice is too loud, but I also don't want to do the thing where I sound like there's an intruder breaking in and I'm trying to talk to 911 without giving away my hiding spot.

Goodreads Challenge, etc.

**Old post again.  Yay!  The update I added at the bottom made me laugh.   It's snowing here.  I love the look of fresh snow, but hate cold weather.   Anyway, I did not finish my Goodreads challenge.  I was getting burned out trying to get that 48th book in, so I stopped worrying about it.  If I had, it would've been A Rogue's Life  by Wilkie Collins - that ended up being my first finished book of 2019.  I have no problem with carrying over books.  It happens.  T his year I plan on reading at least 60 books. Today, I've been listening to the audiobook version of I Am Malala .  I originally added that to my Goodreads in 2013, and am glad to finally be reading it.  It's also my first audiobook.  I started it last night and am already halfway through, which as a slow reader, is saying something.  I'm liking it a lot and even concluded I love audiobooks, because I was super engaged in it, which I...

I'm using a video recorder I added to my Chromebook - it's not the best quality, but it's not terrible either.  Maybe I'm odd, but I kind of prefer not to be too crystal clear and vivid.  Anyway, so far I've read a little on Peter and Wendy today.  Got a bunch of reading to do... Just realized I forgot to include Goebbels by Peter Londerich.  I'm reading that one on CloudLibrary, which is similar to OverDrive.   Wow, I really do have way too many books going, because I actually forgot a few more. xD ~ Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase to Catch Lincoln's Killer  by James L. Swanson ~ Bad Seeds  by Jassy Mackenzie ~ My Sweet Aud...
