Gun Boss of Tumbleweed Book Review

Gun Boss of Tumbleweed by L. Ron Hubbard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I had no idea this was an audio book. I am not a fan of audio books because they play out the story in a different tone then I would perceive it. This was an okay listen for me. Kincaid’s mother had an accent that sounded like an islander trying to do western and it was just strange. The story was kind of dull. Narrator was okay and the actors who played the major character and protagonist were good. The rest of the voice-overs were either okay or bad. The story had me at moments, but it was mostly background noise. Do not recommend unless you can tolerate audio books.

12:44pm

This is it. I'm calling it quits. So close I know, but I am waking up early today and may not be able to function.

Stats:

Only made it about 45% through Frankenstein. Hopefully I'll finish tomorrow (Monday).

Mini Challenge Hour 19

Show It Off

The Great Wild West by Jeff Appelquist

He really went all out and signed the book and left a nice note inside the cover, plus a thank you card and a promise to chat with the book club, should we ever read his book.

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

My mother bought me this book before I ever learned to read at a small bookshop. It was my first book ever!

Everyman's Library Pocket Poets 

In college I was poetry obsessed and collected these. I have a poem for any occasion. I treasure my little poem books.

Check out my robot.

I wanted to go higher, but the sleepiness is starting to set in. I haven't been on my best reading behavior today. This was a fun challenge.

Checkin Hour 4

8:39am
 So paused reading and combed my hair, washed my face and had breakfast. I have not really plowed through my book like I was hoping, but I think that is because I am being very thoughtful about it because I like it. I'm reading "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn". Post for mini challenge:

Someone like you ....Affinity When the dust settled.

Check In Hour 1 Dewey's Read-a-Thon

October 12 5:30am
 1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?

4) Tell us a little something about yourself! I'm really grumpy and hate getting up early in the morning. 5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to? I'm curious about the hourly checkins.

Getting Ready

Just bought my supplies for Dewey's 24 hour Read-a-Thon. Beef Jerky, chips, soda, coffee, corn nuts, carrot sticks, hummus, nuts, ice cream, and cereal. Not the healthiest I know, but junk snacks motivate me.
