so-soIf this wasn‘t for book club I wouldn‘t have finished it, honestly. I found it bizarre and very difficult to follow. There were parts that I laughed about or otherwise enjoyed, and it did come together at the end in a mostly satisfying way, but it was a lot of work to get there.
Rookie mistake- I picked this for a reading challenge before I figured out if I could even access a copy. I ended up ordering it a month ago and it finally got here. I can‘t wait to dive into this elusive book!
The situation that Mike, Polly, and Elaine are in just became much more dire! Not sure how they‘ll get out of it or even if they will. Nice, long walk today. #audiowalk
I was just relaxing with a cup of wine at a theater down the street, reading the tagged story “Return of the Jedi: From a Certain POV“ when out of nowhere people started pouring in to meet some random guy. There was someone there taking pictures, a line forming to meet this guy, I'm giving him the side eye...he's not Chris Stuckmann who is releasing Shelby Oaks this weekend , but I eventually left & had to scooby doo it & it appears to be (CONT)
I am mad(TM) that I'm not getting more time on reading this, too. Especially since my wife's started reading the series and is steaming up behind me going “beep beep“ because they don't read multiple books at the same time like I do. 😆
Um...$100?? Think I'll pass
bailedIt was fine…and then the author used a device after which there was no chance the story was going to recover in the way it would need to in order for that choice to work. And honestly, I didn‘t see that happening. Most likely an unpopular opinion because my daughter tells me this book is super popular but I didn‘t have enough confidence in the story to keep going. My TBR is too unruly to not put this one down and move on.
Been meaning to get to this for ages, finally got started! It's gonna take me longer to finish it than I “budgeted“ for in figuring out whether I can still get a blackout in #BookSpinBingo, according to Bookly... which means I'm all pouty and wondering how much work I can pare down to get more reading time, ahaha.
