Reading Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. The premise is pretty interesting, can't wait to see where he takes it.

As mentioned last week, @[email protected] and @[email protected] are working on something related to Bingo card for books.

Listening to Cibola Burn by James S.A. Corey (book 3 of The Expanse). I gotta say, the narrator sucks pretty bad. He pronounced the spice cumin as “Come In”.

What’s with the asterisks? Also what has been your favorite from that list?
- How I keep track of the physical books I have read. End of year I pull them all out and take a pic of them all. Also so far I loved In The Lives of Puppets. Also enjoyed The Fireman of course swear he channeled his dads Stand with that novel.
  
  Also the Theodore Boone novels are pretty good.
  
  And just finished a novel that part of series of books accidentally started with the middle novel but called Witch Upon a Star.
Wow, that's a lot of books. How long did it take to read all these?
- I read between 150 to 200 pages a day on average. Started January 2nd to present time. Today reading Gerald's Game by Stephen King. Book I read before but been a long time. Also some of those were short stories I either bought on kindle our got from Libby.
  
  My goal is 100 but believe I will surpass that. I do hope to listen to 25 audiobooks as well before end of year.
  
  But since I don't drive a delivery truck anymore it might not happen. Only listen when commuting or working on Lego.
  
  150 to 200 pages a day is a very good amount. Respect!
  
  Good luck with your audiobook goal!
