The reading sloth

  Bird Box  by Josh  Malerman                 Something is out there, something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse of it, and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from. Five  years after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remains, including Malorie and her two young children. Living in an abandoned house near the river, she has dreamed of fleeing to a place where they might be safe. Now that the boy and girl are four, it's time to go, but the journey ahead will be terrifying: twenty miles downriver in a rowboat—blindfolded—with nothing to rely on but her wits and the children's trained ears. One wrong choice and they will die. Something is following them all the while, but is it man, animal, or monster? My Thoughts: This book was a fast and enthralling read. I was pulled in from the first chapter. I enjoyed the way it switched from past to present, building the story...

  Updates Monday - Bird Box - Read this to page 101. Great start to the week. Smashed my goal of 50 pgs. a day. This book grabs you and does not let go. Pacing is wonderful and I also like that the back story is explained too.  Total pgs., read- 159     Tuesday - Not a great reading day            We Must Be Brave- Read 41 pgs. Story is still good just busy doing housework so not much time to read. Wednesday - Bird Box - Read 60 pgs. I can' t put this book down but I have to sleep sometime.      Thursday No reading done

What I am Reading       Right now I am reading 2 books. One is a shorter book in a genre I am quite interested in. The other is a Historical Fiction outside of my comfort zone but I also want to expand my reading. I am calling this my slow burn book.  Bird Box By  Josh Malerman Something is out there, something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse of it, and a person is driven to deadly violence.

  WELCOME     I want to welcome you with open books and stacks to read. My name is Karen, and I am a reading sloth. I know most people claim to be worms or dragons, but I know I am a sloth. I work over 50 hours a week, take care of my family, and I love to read, but I am not reading as much as I should. I do have books stacked in every corner of my home. With this blog I am attempting to achieve 3 major changes. (history lesson coming up, sorry.)   1.     My family are all reader. That is how my love for reading started, as I got older (in my late teens to early 20) my love became unconcerned, but my finding new books and purchasing them. That picked up. I worked at a bookstore. I had no real bills, I lived with my parents. I became a collector. Buying 30 to 40 books a month and reading 1or 2. I guess a hoarder more than a collector. Then life changed again, I was out on my own, I had a bed, kitchen table and 2 bookcases full of books. My love came back to ...
