Good Friday is upon us for those who observe 🙏
Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter Weekend ✝️

This week‘s #bookishquestion is: what is a book that you felt started off slow, but eventually you couldn‘t put it down? Let me know in the comments! ⬇️
#BookTalk #FridayFun

Ruthiella I remember starting this book a few times and not getting much further than the first chapter but once I got past that, I became totally immersed and ended up loving it (edited) 2y
Billypar I enjoyed all of this one, but it definitely picked up steam as it went: 2y
Billypar Agreed @Ruthiella - that's a great example! 2y

Ruthiella @Billypar Oh! Inland is also a good example. I liked it a lot but it really doesn‘t come together until the end. 2y
dabbe For me, it was this one. That's why I'm trying to read WAR AND PEACE. I haven't hit that magical point yet, and I've been stuck at 26% for 2 weeks now! (edited) 2y
Susanita I couldn‘t get into Station Eleven at all and it went back to the Libby ether. I decided to try again and LOVED IT. 2y
CSeydel @Ruthiella @Billypar @dabbe @susanita @tamra Good choices 👍🏻 For me, recently, one that started out frustratingly slow but really picked up once it got going was 2y
Ruthiella @CSeydel I read We Were the Mulvaneys and just remember is being so very sad-typical Oprah pick. 😭 2y

First lines: "I snicker at the storefront before me. This can't be the place." @ShyBookOwl

Friday 56: "All the lying will be worth it in the end. Grace belongs here." @fredamans

Started this book in January. It's good but I am having trouble reading. Fingers crossed that I'll finally finish this book!

1️⃣ Well, fanfic, of course. But also mainstream SF, basic action adventures in space or space opera. Or SF humour, like tagged.
2️⃣ Labyrinth, the one with David Bowie's cod piece.
3️⃣ Podcast: Do by Friday, made by very funny potty mouths. TV show: TOS, but these days, I'm rather obsessed by The Untamed (i.e. 陈情令, i.e. Chén Qíng Lìng, i.e CQL).
4️⃣ Watercolour painting.
