5/30 = Disney Adults: Exploring (And Falling in Love With) a Magical Subculture by AJ Wolfe - 2.5/5

Being a Disney adult myself of a sort, I was intrigued to read this to see what insights it could provide. And unfortunately I'm not sure it provided many. The first part was fairly interesting but the rest just seemed to be a general overview of what Disney was up to and I can't say I learnt very much.

#5 Before She Disappeared by Lisa Gardner. This is the first book in have read by this author. It was pretty good. I will read another by her.

8/75 Bluebird Day by Megan Tady. This was perfect for winter and especially with the Olympics going on, as the main characters are former Olympic skiers. I really enjoyed this read, it wasn't too heavy or too light and engaging enough I wanted to finish.

9/75 The Correspondent by Virginia Evans. This will likely be my favorite book of the year. I used Chirp to purchase the audio version for $3.99 and it was worth every penny and then some. I've read many people say the audio version is the best because of so many different character voices, and I think I would have to agree. I was sad when this ended!

Here's an example of how different people react differently to books. I also read The Correspondent, gave it 3 stars, and couldn't understand why there was a waiting list for it. Meanwhile, I'm sure that some books I've raved about have left some people with "Someone actually liked this?"
