Weekly Reads As A Crossing Guard ✋
Here’s what I read this week, while working as a school crossing guard!
Monday: There wasn’t school, but I finished reading Bad Blood (physical) and started the Paris apartment (e-book with audio).
Tuesday: I finished the Paris apartment. I did start the Waitress, but only a little while I was putting my youngest to bed.
Wednesday: The Waitress & The Chateau (btw, this has the worst ending! I was so disappointed)
Thursday: I finished the Chateau and started The Dead list.
Friday: I finished the dead list and started the last one at the wedding, which I’ll do a e-book & audio read of, since it’s the weekend 🥳🥳🥳

Working as a school crossing guard offers unique moments that can be perfectly paired with immersing oneself in good books. This week's reading list highlights a blend of gripping New York Times bestsellers and compelling Audible Originals, bringing variety and depth to the reader's experience. Starting with "Bad Blood" by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, a well-known NYT bestselling author famous for titles like "The Inheritance Games," the physical book offered a tangible connection to this intriguing story. Transitioning to "The Paris Apartment" by Lucy Foley, also a NYT bestseller known for her suspenseful novels such as "The Guest List," the reader embraced the convenience of an e-book with audio to complement a busy schedule. Audiobooks enhance multitasking potential, as the reader listened to "The Waitress," an Audible Original, while attending to bedtime routines. This choice demonstrates how audible formats make engaging with complex narratives more accessible in everyday life. However, the disappointment with the ending of "The Chateau," another Audible Original by Avery Bishop, reminds readers that not all stories meet expectations, sparking genuine reflections and discussions. Thursday’s read, "The Dead List," continues the trend of gripping Audible Originals, showcasing the platform’s expanding catalogue of exclusive content. Ending the week with "The Last One at the Wedding" by Jason Rekulak and Jennifer L. Armentrout—both NYT bestsellers—combines e-book and audio formats, ideal for weekend reading and listening flexibility. This reading journey exemplifies how combining physical books, e-books, and audiobooks caters to varied lifestyles, especially for those with active daily duties like crossing guards. For book lovers, the diversity in format and genre provides continuous stimulation and engagement. If you're seeking a truly immersive and flexible reading experience, exploring NYT bestsellers alongside Audible Originals can offer fresh perspectives and narrative styles.
