What I Read Last Week
I did very well with my book reading this week. I read ALL the books I planned to read. However, I abandoned two audiobooks. I just could not get into them. They had good reviews, but maybe they just didn't work on audio.
My favorite read this week, was When Dimple Met Rishi. My heart was exploding during this one. If you like fun and adorable contemporary romances with some cultural diversity, you will love this one.
- Black Ice by Ali Dean -★★★ 1/2
- The Girl with the Red Balloon by Katherine Locke - ★★★★

- When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon - ★★★★★
- Other Breakable Things by Kelley York and Rowan Altwood - ★★★1/2

Dimple & Rishi filled my heart with joy! I loved the perspective on being first generation and I think Indian culture is quite beautiful. And, well, Rishi was fantastic! I <3 him!
DeleteThese all sound good. I find myself too easily distracted to really enjoy audiobooks. I have to have a book in my hands to keep my concentration. Come see my reading week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI am a visual learner, so I have to listen to the right kind of audiobook. I found contemporary romances work well for me, as they do not have the added complication of world building or lore that SFF books have.
DeleteWhen Dimple Met Rishi is on my wishlist. I'm joining up in the fun again and I'm hoping you'll stop by to my new domain.

Exactly! Dimple and Rishi made my heart jump for joy.
DeleteIt's a shame when audiobooks don't work out, but good on you for abandoning when not enjoying. Will be really interested to see what you think of Then and Always. I see someone on Goodreads I follow liked the narrator. Myself I just read it around publishing time.
ReplyDeleteI am a firm believer of DNFing if I am not enjoying a book. I read for entertainment, and I have a TBR that goes on forever. I, however, do not rate books I DNF. It just doesn't sit well with me to assign a rating when I only read part of a book. I am about 62% through Then and Always, and I am really enjoying it. The narrator is excellent, and I really like where the story is going.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed When Dimple Met Rishi! I'm really excited fro that book too!

I have nothing but high praise for Dimple and Rishi. It just hit all the right notes for me.
DeleteOooh I MUST read When Dimple Met Rishi ASAP! I am so excited for it! I also want to read Girl With the Red Balloon, but probably will a bit later, closer to the pub date. And I need to read Coming Up For Air too! And Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies! Right now I am reading Dream Thieves, but I am almost done and then... who knows hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI want EVERYONE to read Dimple and Rishi. I am getting all heart-eyes just thinking about it. I am all about the Raven Cycle. I adored that series, and am pretty excited that Ronan may be getting a spin off, and that the series was optioned.
