Both the number of books I read and the record-keeping of said books was pathetically dismal this year (ALL THE BABY-BLAMING), so instead I am writing about books I am looking forward to reading in an effort to get me out of this Netflix-watching, never getting past the first chapter, book reading slump I am in.
1. As You Wish. A behind the scenes look at the making of The Princess Bride. I want the audiobook because Cary Elwes narrates it with cameos from all the cast members.
2. Terry Pratchett Discworld books. Sci-Fi/Fantasy is usually my least favorite genre, but it happens to be Seth's favorite and he has been telling me I need to read these books for quite some time.
3. The Life Changing Magic of Tidying-up. Because my hold at the library finally came up and I want to see what all the hype was about. Plus, it's about tidying up - my favorite.
People keep recommending The Martian to me, but as getting lost/stranded/killed in space is one of my (totally illogical) worst nightmares, just hearing about the premise of the book fills me with stress. I'm not sure if I can handle reading it.
It's a problem when I have a mile long To Be Read list and nothing sounds interesting enough to pick up. Reading slump, you are the worst.
We have the same irrational fear! Although I don't think its so irrational. It's a very scary thought. I bought Gravity and I've never been more tense in my life. I never watched the Martian yet but I imagine I would need to be ready for the most adrenaline filled two hour experience to prepare for it. Reading the book would be like, oh hey im going to put this down now and try not to have nightmares...sooo with you on that.
