My work life continues to be constant, stressful, and exhausting, so today I am having a long overdue self-care day. After seeing all the wonderful Litsy posts regarding all the different October readathons, I decided to have a cozy morning with my coffee and a book I've been meaning to read for decades. Happy Saturday, everyone!!!

Suet624 Congrats on caring for yourself. Enjoy! 3w
Ruthiella Enjoy. I find work draining as well. Books and the weekend are my refuge. 3w

The Mysteries of Udolpho remains one of the most important works in the history of European fiction. After Emily St. Aubuert is imprisoned by her evil guardian, Count Montoni, in his gloomy medieval fortress in the Appenines, terror becomes the order of the day. With its dream-like plot and hallucinatory rendering of its characters' psychological states, The Mysteries of Udolpho is a fascinating challenge to contemporary readers.

#FallTreasures

Today‘s prompt is a book you did not finish. Here‘s 6, each a #ADNF for me. Note the thing they have in common—all are #chunksters I have a short attention span sometimes & if a book doesn‘t totally grab me or another competes, I have a hard time staying with them. 🤷🏻‍♀️📚

Some of these (the top row) I do intend to finish one day. I‘m about 2/3 through the tagged book & just need to recommit to Serial Reader & finish it up.

bibliobliss I‘m currently reading “Jonathan Strange” & “1Q84” but they are both slogging a bit for me 😐 3y
5feet.of.fury I couldn‘t even make it through the NOS4A2 tv show. 3y
DebinHawaii @bibliobliss I just have trouble getting through the slog. 😉 3y

DebinHawaii @5feet.of.fury Good to know. I haven‘t watched it as I was going to try and read the book first.😆 3y
TrishB I didn‘t finish Jonathan Strange. Loved NOS4A2 and Outlander. 3y
TiredLibrarian I tried Les Mis 3x before I gave up & figured I could just appreciate the tale in all its other forms 😅 I finished Outlander because it was a book group read, but I detested it, which I know is an #unpopularopinion 3y
Eggs Great collage-I fear chunksters too 3y

litmuggle I really need to re-read The Historian, it's one of those books I know I loved but I can't remember. 7y
Librarybelle @litmuggle I have a few books like that too! 7y
MinDea I had a hard time with the book and so I switched to audio and I really liked it 7y
Librarybelle @MinDea Sometimes audio is the trick...I've had the same thing happen from time to time 7y
