Books read in April --- Librarian fail!

So, I didn't read ANY books this month. I listened to Neil Gaiman's Fortunately the Milk on the way to Boston (it was ONE disc long) but that was the only book I consumed completely this month. I KNOW! FOR SHAME! I honestly just haven't found anything that GRABBED me, ya know? I picked up Spectacular Now after we watched the movie and sorta started that...but barely. I have Charm and Strange on my desk but it's been a chatty lunch break so I've barely gotten 20 pages into that. And you'd think with all the comics I have on hold, I could have found time to finish ONE of them! NOPE! **sigh** ah well, here is my ONE review for the month:

Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


We listened to the audiobook (1 CD long). It felt like Gaiman had spent a week binge watching Doctor Who, then flipped through his copy of "Hitchhiker's Guide" before sitting down at his typewriter (I imagine Gaiman still uses a typewriter, don't you? So much more romantic though I'm sure he's on a PC like the rest of us) and cranking this out over the course of a few days, giggling like a maniac the entire time. Quirky, light, and fun - perfect for a family road trip.

Last two questions for April!

coco_waters asked Which book(s) have you re-read the most? (or if you don’t like to re-read books, do you have a particular reason not to?)

The only books I've re-read are Jurassic Park and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Both of them were the books that got me back into reading after a long break as a kid. I also had them both as audiobooks so I read them and then listened to them over and over. I have huge chunks of them memorized. LOL. Now I have TOO MANY BOOKS so there is not time to re-read!!!

thekaiserchief asked What fictional universe would you love to live in and which universe would you not want to live in?

I know I would NOT want to live in Westeros or Panem. I would be the first to die LOL. As for one I would *want* to live in...hm...I am not sure, there are not many fictional universes that don't end up having some evil plot twist to them that would scare me away! Maybe a universe where the Muppets really are just part of the world...though this feels close to Roger Rabbit and toon town and we know there would be Muppets rights issues and such.
