It seems that my reading has slowed to a halt, but I managed to read 3 books last week. My audio listening has definitely suffered, and I need to remedy that asap! We are expecting our first major snow storm of the season today and tomorrow, so it could be a couple of days to read, read and listen!
Thoughts on the Books I Read Last Week:
Three girls living in New York become roommates and help each other navigate what they face every day, what has hurt them as well as looking forward the future. Funny, touching with sympathetic characters. Another great read by Sarah. This is more than chick lit!
Astrid is a senior in high school would love someone she can confide in honestly and without any judgment. She is sure her parents and sister will never understand and accept. So she lays on her picnic table and sends her love to the passengers on planes that are flying overhead. Another wonderful book by this author. Whether or not you agree with the subject matter, you will be touched by Astrid, her family and friends.

I think reading 3 books in a week is great. These Girls sounds really good. Have a great week!
I really enjoyed Everybody sees the Ants, so I think this A.S. King book sounds like I must read it.
I'm, ecstatic when I read 3 books lol but last few weeks I've only read 2. I haven't read anything by Sarah Pekkanen but I do have a review book coming up next month, she seems to be popular. Looking forward to your thoughts on The Chaperone.
Glad you're health is getting sorted and you know what you have to work on. Have a good week & happy reading
I must create an award for your for "Most Concise Book Reviews."
Three books is always good.
All your titles are new to me.
I hope you are safe during the snow storm and have fun reading!
I've enjoyed Sarah Pekkanen's other books but haven't read this one yet. I want to read Tigers in Red Weather and I have The Chaperone but haven't read it yet. Hope you are enjoying them!
A snowstorm sounds like the perfect excuse to do nothing but read!
Have a great reading week!

These Girls sounds good!! And as much of a pain that snowstorms are, it really is the perfect time to snuggle up and read. Have a great week, enjoy your reading time!
My reading has slowed down too. I think it's been a week since I last finished something.
I plan to make 2013 my year of reading from my own bookshelves. Please come see what I'm currently reading.
My reading didnt just slow down. it went down to a trickle! hope it improves as its depressing not to read.
Great job! I thought reading 2 books in a week was great....3 is even better! Happy reading!

I enjoyed The Chaperone...and These Girls looks tempting. I read another book by this author.
Enjoy! And thanks for visiting my blog.
I've had Ask the Passengers in my library bag forever. I MUST get to it!
We had a light dusting of snow but it is really cold and windy. Still great reading weather as I am trying to kick the flu bug out of the house.
Happy Listening!!!
I love Pekkenen's books, I just received her newest one over the weekend and cant wait to dive in!
The books you read last week sound fantastic! Happy reading this week.
I've heard really good things about These Girls and have it on my tbr list.
Hope you get in some good reading time this week. We are expecting some snow this week, too, but nothing major.
Have a great week!

These Girls sounds interesting.
Thanks for dropping by and visiting. I'm sure you would like Ruth Rendell.
Have a great week :)
The End of your Life Book Club is one I have been curious about - I am going to read this one :)
I've been meaning to read Ask the Passengers. Glad to see you liked it. Enjoy your snow! We're getting some tonight too.
These sound like interesting books. Thanks for your thoughts and the review.
BTW-I have 7 giveaways going on at my site if you want to pop over. Hope you have a wonderful week!

I liked These Girls but I didn't love it. I'm looking forward to her new book.
I've been on the fence about These Girls.
I have to try A.S. King!!! I liked These Girls well enough to read more by this author. Did you end up getting a lot of snow???!!! We had a snow day today (Thursday)!!
