melissarochelle 's review for:
Grave Peril
by Jim Butcher
The Dresden Files are one of Jesse's favorite series. He re-reads or listens to the series at least once a year. He's wanted me to dive into Harry's world for a decade and he finally realized that if he wants me to read them, he's going to have to read them to me. So that's what he's doing, every night as a I fall asleep, Jesse reads to me.
Best husband ever.
I think he hoped I would be so invested I'd start reading them myself, but now I'm spoiled. I have no idea of what has happened in what book because he just keeps reading when he finishes one. We're up to #7.
I know these ARE great books, I mean, there are like 100 books in the series. BUT that's also why I'm NOT INTERESTED in reading them. My reading life is scattered like I am. I DO NOT have lists of books I want to read, I have stacks of books that I may or may not want to read at any given moment. I'm a mood reader and I'm rarely in the mood to read another book in the fantasy world written by another white dude OR one that someone has recommended to me. Don't ask me why, but if there's even a hint that someone is 'telling' me to read the book, I will not read it.
This is why I cannot join a book club. I'd never read the book!
Jesse is SO judgmental about these "counting" toward the books i've read this year, but I have to actively listen -- which takes WAY more of my attention than reading. AND I could be reading anything else before bed, but I am CHOOSING to listen. So I'm counting them as audiobooks. Suck it, hubs!
