Been reading/listening to a lot of books lately. With my hour + commute I am loving my audible membership. Audio books make a huge difference in my frustration with traffic.
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
Okay, this book was fantastic. I can't say that I loved it. Because it ended in my crying a big ugly cry. However, those books, the ones that leave you crying and stay in your mind for days and weeks and sometimes even longer are usually my favorite. This book will be one of those books. The synopsis sounded like something I would never be interested in - very simply put - a paraplegic man and his quirky caretaker. I found myself however captivated. I usually just listen to my audio books in the car during my daily drives - but this one found its way into the house. I walked around with my headphones on and found excuses to clean my house just so I could listen to more.
In the end I found myself wanting to live my life more fully - to be more present in the moment - to take risks and savor each moment. And in my opinion, if a weekend of reading can leave me with that - then I call that a job well done!
