I don't seem to be reading as much this year, although with early puppy wake ups I have started reading for an hr in the mornings so May has picked up a little.
I am now onto my 15th book this year
This has been in my to read pile for a very long time. Despite buying it myself from a lovely bookshop I just haven't felt drawn to read it. Today however, I pulled it out. When looking for a link to pop on with it I noticed that it has very mixed reviews. Which makes me want to put it back in the pile, but I am trying to reduce the book pile so I am going to start it and then if it doesn't thrill me it will go off to the charity shop. I have another book by this author in my pile, The Starless sea, which I started , couldn't get into it so put it back on the pile. That was the follow up book to The Night Circus and also has very mixed reviews. So I'll give it a go, but as always have many books as back up plans !
Those early morning puppy wake ups will get less frequent as Rosie gets older. I hope you can get into your book.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'm getting more critical as I become more ancient or the books that I choose are more badly written, but I am increasingly giving up on books but instead of persevering, I am giving up and getting rid. Life's too short to waste time on books I'm not enjoying. I do believe that I tried to read "The Night Circus" after you mentioned it long ago - and couldn't get into it.
