'Shells'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Yes! But, like I said, I wasn't sure whether this was a supernatural novel or not, so I thought it was supposed to be literal, except the way it was written (he didn't seem, like, surprised or shocked or anything), I wasn't sure.
Yessssss talking house, now we're getting somewhere.
How's Slattery as a reader?
Roger Stirling is reading me a storybook! He's good; I think he has the right voice for the character, although coming off The Fault in Our Stars, I find him a little less emotionally invested. I think first-person audiobooks probably work better than third-person because there's more acting involved, so now I expect a little more from them. (After a few minutes, I realized that he actually didn't sound like Stirling, so I was like, yay, acting.)
Who read The Fault in Our Stars?
Kate Rudd. She was wonderful.
Such great dialogue in that book. I bet it was great to listen to.
Did anyone else read The Snow Child? It's lovely so far, but I'm anticipating heartbreak.

She cracked me up and made me tear up.

So far it's the frontrunner for favorite book in my yearly round-up. Everyone I've recommended it to has loved it.
I think the hardest part to read for me was the opener. And, unlike most books, I found the ending fairly satisfying.
Oh good. Because the opening is what's tripping me up. I mean, the language is beautiful, but it's bleak in a major way right now. I just got past where she tries to drown, hoping the ice will break, and it was just ... intense.
God, I need more caffeine.
