I put it aside. I’m waiting for someone to let me know there’s a reason to continue! The fact that I haven’t thought about it since stopping is not a good sign for me.

I’m in an OK book space. A couple of real duds but others that are all right. It will be nice to get swept away again but it may come from something on my TBR pile as opposed to a new release.

I will be so interested to see what you think about City on Fire. I bailed for now so will want to know if there’s a reason to push on through!

I hear you about clutter with magazines. I get around this by taking mine to the health club when I finish. I swim but I figure all those women on the ellipticals etc need something good and fun to read!

It feels like summer was really big for new books this year so maybe they’ve lost some steam for the fall? Normally, this is definitely the time of year for the best new titles. Good thing too, since it’s definitely my favourite time of year for reading (although I’m partial to winter reading too since really, what else are you going to do?). I’m always up for summer being over to be honest. It’s just not my favourite.

I hope you find something great to read soon!

Honestly, I wouldn’t Marisa. I may be completely wrong but unlike Fates and Furies which started slow and then exploded this feels clinical- like showing off how well he can write but not creating any sense of connection.

Are you getting ready for a move?

I love it because I agree- our tastes seem to be really similar! As for my biceps, I’m leaving that to swimming. I tore the ARC in half- it was ridiculous. And now I’m not even sure I’m going to finish it. I need to feel some kind of connection and while he writes well, it’s empty, if that makes sense.

944 pages is a chunkster. Yikes!!

Happy unpacking and reading.
