January 2016 Wrap up - Finishing Up a Series

I read 4 books for this challenge.

1. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (3 stars) book 1
This book took me over a year to read. I finally got the audio and forced myself to finish it. It is a great tv show but the writing style is just too hard to read.

2. Confessions of a Shopaholic (3 stars) book 1
Listened to this on audio and also watched the movie. It was good except since it takes place in London I found it hard to figure out the money exchange. It was quite funny though. I enjoyed the movie more than the book. I have the whole series so hope to read more of this one soon.

3. After You by Jojo Moyes (4 stars) book 2
Listened to this on audio. Didn't enjoy the narrator because of her accent was hard to decipher but I did enjoy the book. I did cry almost at the end. But was disappointed with the ending.

4. The Misadventures of Salem Hyde Spelling Trouble by Frank Cammuso (Graphic Novel book 1) 4 stars middle grade
This is such a cute story about a little girl who is a witch and she can't use her spells correctly. So cute for middle grade age.

3. After You by Jojo Moyes (4 stars)

My goal was to read 1 to 5 books for the year so I think I'm doing very well.

Review: After You by JoJo Moyes

After You by Jojo Moyes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Listened to this on audio. First want to say that I did not enjoy the person narrating the book. She had an accent and at times I had to rewind to figure out what she was saying. But over all I enjoyed the story. At one point I had to pull my car over and listen as I was crying my eyes out. The end I had to listen to twice because I just couldn't believe it's how it ended.
