I listened to The Time Traveler&#8217;s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger\u00a0last week and it was fantastic! I&#8217;d highly recommend it, even if you have seen the film. There so much more to the story and I just fell in love with the characters. For me it&#8217;s one of those books that stays with you long after you&#8217;ve finished it and is now instant favourite of mine.<\/p>\n<p>On the weekend I registered with the local library so I could stream the audiobooks they have available. I&#8217;m currently listening to The Mystery of Mercy Close by Marian Keyes\u00a0but I&#8217;m not really enjoying it that much, and would consider it a summer throw-away read. I&#8217;ll finish it anyway as I&#8217;m about 20 chapters in and I&#8217;ll likely have it finished by the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>BTW if you have any reading\/audiobook recommendations I&#8217;d love to hear them &amp; add me on <a title=\"Violetsteel on Goodreads.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/user\/show\/1908679-violetsteel\" target=\"_blank\">goodreads.com<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>+ On Friday Pete and I took the day off work and decided to go down to London to visit the <a title=\"Natural History Museum of London\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nhm.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Natural History Museum<\/a>. I&#8217;ve been to the Science Museum next door many times, but never the NHM so it was nice to finally check it off the To Do list.<\/p>\n<h3>Crappy<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; I&#8217;ve been really tight chested and short of breath for the past week and I first thought it was because Pete has been sick and I was just staving of a recurrence of last weeks cold. But now the more I think about it I think it might be anxiety about going to South Africa. I&#8217;m obviously very excited to be going and seeing all my friends and family again, but I always get nervous when we go back for 2 reasons. 1 is the flight. I hate flying and get very anxious in the build up to the flight. 2 is the crime in South Africa still makes me nervous. It&#8217;s the reason I left and I hate that constant feeling of looking over your shoulder and having to lock your doors. I felt like a prisoner and going back to that even just for 3 weeks, scares me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy + I&#8217;m still listening to audiobooks and and now onto my 3rd book in 2 weeks.
