Welcome to Litsy!

Memorial Day Weekend in Michigan, where the weather never knows what season it should be. #RoyalRead #MittenLitten #CatsOfLitsy #ColeCat #CurrentlyReading

Guys! I did it! I finished before the due date. The last 80 pages were just notes, bibliography, etc. If I hadn't been so interested in the topic (i.e. Prince Philip) I would have bailed less than 100 pages into the book. I found Mr Eade's style to be far too dry and textbook, and the early chapters were as confusing and dull as the "begats" in the Bible. I recommend watching "The Crown" on Netflix instead of reading this.

Dilemma: this is due back on Wed. I'm only 1/2 way done and will not finish in time. The writing is dry and tedious. I don't want to buy the book, but I am not ready to quit and DNF. I find the subject matter intriguing, even though the presentation leaves much to be desired. Do I trudge along & pay the overdue fine in a week (or two) or do I record my page #, take it back, and put a hold request for when the next person is done?

In order to read everything I need/want to by the 30th (library/book club deadlines), I calculated that I have to read 159 pages per day. My first thought was, that's not too bad. Then I realized that at the speed I read, that's at least 3 hours per day, including workdays. I may have bitten off more than I can chew, especially since it is taking me forever to get through this one. #booknerdproblems #blameitonLitsy

Getting ready to dive into this. #titlewithapropername today. Just realized it also has a #bookface. 😉#readJanuary

Today's #libraryhaul. Two for 2017 challenges and one just because (actually #blameitonNetflix #theCrown)
