Unfortunately I have a (for me) busy four day weekend. Tis the season…ugh 😂 Nonetheless I should be able to finish at least two of my currently reading books.

The Library Book - #Roll100
The Impressionist and Home - #10beforetheend
Impossible Fortune because my library hold came in, though it could also work for #ChristmasCrimeChallenge

Pickpick

I got into this shortly after complaining I wasn't getting into it, and oof, what a ride. This certainly goes places. I feel like the relationship between Shane and Marguerite was more background than e.g. Piper and Galen, so that I found it less strong mattered less, ultimately.

shanaqui Just one more book for a blackout in #BookSpinBingo, and this was also one of my #10BeforeTheEnd. 7 down, 3 to go. 13h

Here is my list for #CasttheDie

It's a mix of winter books, #SnowedIn picks and #10BeforetheEnd

I'm going to be rolling the numbers on Sunday (because Monday is December! 😱) Make sure you've made your lists before then!

Jari-chan Oh, Like Real People Do is on your list! 17h
PuddleJumper @Jari-chan That whole series is on Kobo Plus as is Outfoxing the Paranormal. If I'm up for it I'm gonna buy it for a month and binge read 17h
Jari-chan @PuddleJumper Awesome plan 💪 3h
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Cannot believe it is so close to December...!!!! 41m

#WeeklyForecast is "Too many books, too little time"

Tagged needs to go back to the library soon so have started it, I am 30 pages in and unsure.

Private Revolutions is a Women's Prize long list and I am still in Nonfiction November so going to get through that. Time and Again doubles and both a #10BeforeTheEnd and #BookedInTime read.

We will see how the US holiday week goes!

Ruthiella I usually think I‘m going to read more than I actually do on these long weekends! 😂 4d
sarahbarnes Too many books too little time is the story of my week too 😆 4d
willaful That's always the weather around here! 4d
BarbaraBB A lot of books 😉 4d

I bailed at 30% so I might be missing out on the deeper delve into how UPF effects women specifically but everything the author wrote up until that point I knew already. I read another book on UPF last year and really liked that/learned a lot but this was more of the same info and I just got bored listening to it. #10beforetheend

ChaoticMissAdventures Was the other by a British man? I read a different one that was pretty good, and I keep hearing this one unfortunately doesn't have a lot of substance and maybe a bit too much conjecture... Ah well off the list! 5d
youneverarrived @ChaoticMissAdventures it was, yeah. I would agree with that! I didn‘t really like the tone, either. Exactly 😁 4d

#10BeforeTheEnd Week 5

How is everyone doing??

I am glad I put enough nonfiction on here to get me through Nonfiction November! All the NF is ticked off (finishing Peepshow today) I now have some chunksters while I also look at #ToB

Anyone else feel like they are running out of steam??

Ruthiella I‘m on track at 50%. 👍 And at least two of the remaining will double up for other challenges. Dunno if I will manage all ten but at least eight. 5d
willaful Pretty much on track - DNFing one book helped. 😂 5d
sarahbarnes I‘m reading my fourth…I‘m now getting distracted by library holds and the TOB longlist! 📚 📚 📚 4d
Dilara I'm on track: I've finished 7 of the books on my list because some were unexpectedly short and/or quick reads, but also running out of steam in that my motivation has waned for 2 of the books still to be read 😚 4d

So, I know this is born out or Vampire Diaries (which I never watched or read) & Twilight (which I hated) …but I was still intrigued. The attempts at prose are forced& mishmashed. worldbuilding happens at 300 pages.. & I still don‘t care about either of these boys, Mira is an awful MC, she isn‘t driving the plot & solutions are spoonfed to her by another character. The action at the end is set up in such a way that book 2 may be better, but idk.

ChaoticMissAdventures oh noooo! Well at least it is off the TBR! ✔ ✔ 5d
Gissy I have that gorgeous book😳Well I am soothing myself by saying that I watched Vampire Diaries and read the Twilight series, it was ok for me. Maybe with that thinking (brain wash🤔) I maybe tolerate it 🤣 4d
5feet.of.fury @Gissy I‘ll be interested to see what you think! Maybe it was just not for me. (And it is SO pretty) 2d
