Cady’s comments from the 2018 TCPL Reading Challenge! group.

Just finished "The Power" by Naomi Alderman. It was so-so. Not a recommendation, unfortunately.

Now I am listening to "Her Body and Other Parties" by Carmen Maria Machado and am 3 stories into it, and so far am enjoying it! A problem I have with short stories is that I get really into them, and then they end abruptly. This is a little bit of a problem for me especially with audiobooks because I feel wrenched out of the story and don't see it coming. At least with a paper copy I can glance ahead and see how much more I can expect. But, forgiving that, these have been strong (and slightly naughty!) lunch break listens, and I do recommend it.

You guys have high goals! My goal is usually 25, and I generally hit or exceed it by a few. I take my time reading, and I intersperse audiobooks with lots of podcasts. I am definitely a person who takes advantage of "auto-renewal." So far, I'm 2.5 books into 2018!
