First, sorry for the delay, I lost my little Jeki rat this month and then proceeded to get pretty sick for the last week of the month. My reading has definitely fallen off with me trying to get through the MCAT books, but here is what I did get through:
Books finished this month:
Author: Leigh Bardugo
Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang
Thoughts: This is a re-read for me. I wanted to read the Grisha trilogy again before diving into her new book, King of Scars. The universe that the author created is amazing and sometimes terrifying. I love the magic and different types of Grisha. I also enjoy the bit of foreshadowing that she does with the volcra in her dream. That part always sticks with me.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Author: Kaplan Test Prep
Thoughts: I'm not going to really give reviews on these books, but I am reading them cover to cover, so I am counting them toward my reading goals (at least the first time I read through them). But this was a good review of general chemistry and I found it helpful.
Rating: I'm not sure how to rate these, but 4 out of 5 stars
Author: Leigh Bardugo
Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang
Thoughts: Another re-read to prepare for reading King of Scars and the continuation of Shadow and Bone. I do like this book because Nikolai is introduced and I do love him. This book is where I start to dislike Mal an awful lot. I'm on to re-reading the third one now and then I can move onto King of Scars!
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Author: Kaplan Test Prep
Thoughts: Another MCAT book and this one covers topics I am less familiar with. It contains mostly psychology and sociology as well as the biological aspects of the brain and how it works. I will definitely need to go back to this book and read it again.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Favorite book read this month: Shadow and Bone
Least favorite book read this month: None really. If forced, I might pick the MCAT Behavioral Sciences Review. I think I'm allowed to count those.
Other things that happened this month:
Google + has been taken down. I'm not sure yet how that will be affecting my blog, as it is a Google owned company. I may need to find a new host for my domain name, but for now I will be staying here until I figure everything out. I mostly need to make sure that people can still comment without the Google+ comments. It looks like it will be reverting back to blogger comments, but I'm not positive. I will keep you posted and look into alternatives.
Kevin and I had our two year anniversary, which was nice and we both acknowledged it and sent cards to each other. It's so nice to know that it's as important to him as it is for me. We are starting to plan our Disneyland trip (well, he has to attend conferences for parts of the day while we are there, so I am planning for the times he can join me in Disney). Of course I started reading The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland 2019. For research.
I was also sent to Sacramento for some work training and that all happened at the last minute. Besides that, it was a nice trip and cool to see another, larger lab. It was a good experience and I am all trained to use our new machine and to train my coworkers!
I guess February was busier than I thought. Hopefully I can get more reading done in March! Thanks for reading!
