I want to feel bad about your October, but Italy?! How wonderful. Day is definitely worthwhile. His insight is deeply rewarding.

I DNFed January! This was my last shot at her as an author for me. There is just something overblown? YA? I don’t know, about her writing that I don’t enjoy.

It’s exhausting, isn’t it? Somehow I’ve now found I need really long immersive books, like hooks for my brain, to keep me submerged from reality.

I understand. Find what works for you and go for it. Maybe it’s not even books right now.

My reading took a plunge in October but I was in Italy for goodness sakes … then while leaving Covid hit. So October wasn’t great but there was still Italy in all its glory. I am wondering a bit about the Day novel and if it’s worthwhile or a pass? It’s best to move on to November! Happy reading

Sounds like one to skip. I just don’t love fantasy and I think my experience would be similar to yours.

I finished The Many Lives Of Mama Love, and Strange Sally Diamond both of which I really enjoyed. I also read The Drowning Women, which was just alright, and I’ve mostly already forgotten. Currently working on Bright Young Women a little over half way through. I may stop reading this, I find I don’t care about the characters and my attention span is very short right now, sort of feels like it did in March of 2020. Just not a good time for reading.
