Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots | Deborah Feldman

I have been having some difficulty settling down to read during this time, but I have been finding other ways to become absorbed in new worlds. This week, Unorthodox on Netflix has completely hooked me. Perhaps the book which inspired it will bring me back to the page. #hereshoping #quarantineproblems

The 71?2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle | Stuart Turton

so-so

This book was a so-so for me. 🤷🏽‍♀️ It might be because of my 'state of mind' (😴😴😴) but it took me almost a month to read it. It seemed looooooooooong. So many characters to keep track of. And I had a hard time comprehending how exactly all of it worked. Again might have been that I was reading 15-30 pages per sitting and it is 430 pages long so it definitely was choppy for me. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I hope other's enjoyed it more than I did!

Jerdencon I didn‘t love it either - took me forever to figure out what was happening and I felt confused most of the time and not in a good way. 5y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I liked this one, but it was really a brain scramble. A lot to keep track of and sometimes I just had to let go because I didn‘t follow. 5y

CatLass007 😻😻😻😻😻 5y

Slajaunie I did not care for it either. I thought I was in the minority. 5y

riversong153 I haven‘t gotten into it. I put it down last month and haven‘t picked it up again. I heard it was good...idk maybe I‘ll try it again later. 5y

MelissaSue81 I really struggled through this one too. Waaay too many characters to keep track of . 5y

MinDea @mcipher he really just wanted to claim the book and rub all over it. 😆 5y

MinDea @MelissaSue81 Seriously! I struggled keeping everyone straight. I thought it was just cause this month has been long and busy and I have even so tired but apparently others thought so too! 5y

MinDea @riversong153 I have heard a lot of people enjoying it so I hope you will enjoy it! 5y

Andrew65 Sorry to hear it was a tough read for you. I enjoyed this one but did it by audio so perhaps that helped. 5y

MinDea @Andrew65 I honestly think it was my frame of mind. Lately I am so tired from work and getting up 2 hours earlier than I have been used to the last few years so when I go to bed I am exhausted. I typically read before bed so I think I struggled with it because of that. 😕 5y

Andrew65 @MinDea I can relate to those totally. I‘m in much the same situation at the moment. Hardly got any reading done this week apart from the commute time. I‘m struggling big time with Circe this month yet everyone else seems to love it. Has been one big chore to read it and only at 52% after almost 4 weeks! Good luck with everything. 👍😊😍 5y

MinDea @Andrew65 good luck to you too! Let's hope we both can get more time and back into reading soon! 💙💙 5y

Andrew65 @MinDea Thanks, and most definitely! Can‘t wait for the Christmas break when I can get some quality reading time in. 5y

MinDea @Andrew65 It's so close! I hope you can relax during it! I don't get much of a break then but I am hoping to take full advantage of the Thanksgiving 4 day weekend this weekend. #Readathon #HeresHoping 5y

Cathythoughts Yes I‘ve heard there are lots of characters .... that‘s really putting me off .... I know I‘d find it v hard to keep track 5y

Andrew65 @MinDea Enjoy your weekend! 😊 5y

Happy New Year! | Greg Roza

Ok, I‘m likely setting myself up for failure with baby #1 expected in early February, but I‘m trying to set realistic reading challenge goals this year! Am I nuts to think I might possibly have more time for reading with a newborn, but no work? Anywho, here‘s what I‘m trying my hand at this year...
1️⃣ Goodreads Challenge: Read 40
2️⃣ Modern Mrs. Darcy‘s 2018 Challenge

bookloo I love hearing baby news. Congrats! Even if you read and finish only book after baby, that‘s still huge! Sending love. ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 6y

asiriusreader Awww, thank you @bookloo !! We are very eagerly awaiting this little one‘s arrival, especially since she was a very long time in the making. I‘m sure I‘ll have more baby related posts soon to come! 😍👶🏻 6y

L_auren Three ladies in my book club of 5+ years became moms in 2016-2017 and all of them report lots more reading time than expected 6y

L_auren And and one dad too!!! 6y

asiriusreader @L_auren yay! That gives me lots of hope! 👏🏻 6y

Sills Good luck to you-any reading as a new Mommy is quite a feat🙂 6y

asiriusreader @Sills so I‘ve been told...I‘ll be happy to squeeze in any reading at all, honestly! ☺️ 6y

Sills @asiriusreader I used to hold my daughter in the middle of the night hours after feeding and read my novel-sometimes she would wake for the next newborn feeding and I was still rocking and rolling away-I don't recommend that🤪 6y

asiriusreader @Sills hahahaha—I can totally see myself doing this! I‘ll try my darndest not to follow in your footsteps! 😜 6y

Sharpeipup @julesG I can relate although I usually cause one with my attempts 7y
