Chilling in my bed after our 4 mile #walk today. I got the urge to #read a little, so I started this gem! Anyone read it? #reading #reader #readers #books #book #deathprefersblondes #calebroehrig #ya #youngadult #youngadultbooks #contemporaryart #coverlove #bibliophile #bookstagrammers #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #bookish #booksinbed #bookblogger #booklover #dragqueens

I wrote a #blog post! Lol. It's not much, but it's something for the moment. You can find it in my #linktree under the #CurrentFeaturedBlogPost. 📖 What is it about, you ask? It's a list of the #books that I've #read that have stuck with me over the past few years. 📖 Pictured are just a few of them: 📚 #FirstCameForever by #AnnieWoods (@anniewoodsauthor) #LoseMe by #MCFrank (@mcfrank_author) #ThePoetX by #ElizabethAcevedo (@acevedowrites) #Puddin by #JulieMurphy (@andimjulie) 📚 📖 Since my urge to read has not returned yet, I decided to try to make a few #book related posts here and there to keep content on my blog and to try to spark it. 📖 Have you read any of these? What books have stuck with you? 📖 #reading #blogging #blogger #ya #youngadultbooks #youngadult #blogs #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #bibliophile

So I've been listening to the first book in The Call the Midwife series, which is supposed to be a set of Memoirs from a nurse in the 1940s and 50s in a poor area in England. For those who are not familiar with this, Call the Midwife is a spectacular show on BBC One and PBS, and it's one of my all-time favorite shows because it not only shows life in that poor part of England to be eye opening, but it also shows how nurses and midwives are, and were, highly underestimated because they are some of the true heroes in the world. 📖 Anyway, I expected this book to read almost like a diary and I was expecting major changes because, let's face it, book to screen adaptations are never perfect. For about the first half of the book I was actually pleasantly surprised that there were a lot of things that were really close to the TV show and that the feel of the book was really close to the TV show but that all changed a little over halfway through when the entire tone of the book shifted drastically and a scenario involving a girl that was tricked into becoming a prostitute turned vividly detailed and pornographic. 📖 I was so off put by not only the graphic detail of a particular disgusting scenario, but by the sudden shift in the story and tone that I have no interest in finishing the book. I'm super disappointed by this because this is the first full length book I've felt an interest to read at all since I started my weight loss journey, and it's the first audio book I thought I was actually going to be able to complete. 📖 Has anyone ever experienced a sudden story or mood shift in a book like this that caused you to #DNF it? 📖 #books #audiobooks #read #reading #booktoscreen #callthemidwife #AdultBook #bookstagram #bookworm #bibliophile #bookstagrammers #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #book #bookstagrammer #reader
