10 Books to read in February 2015

I did manage to read 10 books in January, so let’s try that again in February:

  • I plan to read only a chapter a day of the first two
  • Actually already read #3 and #4 since 2/1! and thoroughly enjoying #5
  • The last 2 are audio – I am maybe 75% done with Gone Girl.
    So excited the Modiano was available for review on Audiobook Jukebox, though it’s kind of a shame for me to read Modiano in translation!! I’m curious actually to see if the translation manages to convey his characteristic ambiance.
