Finally broke out of my reading slump and finished “The Farmer‘s Son” this week-⭐⭐⭐⭐

@Cinfhen

An unlikely book that broke me out of a reading slump. I thoroughly enjoyed Connell‘s writing and learned a lot about life on a farm. There‘s a chapter at the end where he talks of a dark period in his life and that really hit home for me. I hope he writes more, he‘s a wonderful storyteller.

Trigger warnings for depression, animal cruelty, animal death.

The goal this week is to finish “The Farmer‘s Son.”

Beyond that, I‘m not sure. Either start something off my physical TBR or Kindle backlog. 😅

I was in a terrible reading slump for a week and a half, but have finally found something that‘s keeping my interest. 58% into “The Farmer‘s Son,” a memoir of a man returning to help his family‘s farm in Ireland.

@Cinfhen

Found this while I was shelving last week-hoping it breaks me out of my week and a half long reading slump.

Every now and then I fantasize about leaving city life behind and trying out life on a farm. This book was a great reminder of all of the reasons that would be a terrible idea. For me at least. For John Connell that was a journey home when he most needed it. A quiet, somewhat sparse memoir, I enjoyed being by his side as he worked endless hours and suffered the victories and heartaches of caring for the animals on his family farm.
