I rarely bail on a book. I want to give it a chance until the last page. But I‘m working to get over that ridiculousness. A major health scare helps! Why spend my precious time on the tagged book when I could be reading something so more fulfilling? Begone Demons!!!! 😂😂😂😂. I will go on to other Russian novelists I enjoy. Maybe I will try Brothers Karamozov one day. But I banish the Demons! #SundayFunday @ozma.of.oz
February #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
My bookspin goal is to get all the books off my GR TBR from 2019 off the list. Last month I read 4 and am down to 33 so feel like I am making progress.
Tagged the one I am hopeful for, and will read it no matter if it wins or not!
pickI first read the Grossman translation when it was released in 2003. I remember it distinctly because it was the most difficult book I had ever read up to that point, but I couldn‘t recall much about the story. Revisiting it on Audible, I have to say Don Quixote is made to be listened to. It‘s such a delight; I found myself smiling almost the whole time. Yes, it‘s long-winded but considering it‘s over 400 years old, it holds up surprisingly well.
pickI enjoyed this first book in Montgomery's Emily series. There are definitely similarities to the Anne books, but I find Emily a more realistic and relatable character.
12 hours of reading and third book finished for the #20in4 readathon. @Andrew65

The new characters introduced in this book were incredibly annoying and I didn‘t care whether or not they succeeded. Dorothy only shows up for a couple chapters at the end as more of an afterthought than an actual part of the plot.
Chapter 16. So Lydgate, new doctor in town, is kindly invited to a dinner party by the Vincys, and he decides to insult another guest, Chichely, by stating that lawyer coroners are incompetent at their jobs, then doubles down and insults post-morten medical examiners, too? Does anyone else think that is a little rude and not the best way to ingratiate yourself in a new town, LOL?
I don‘t finish every book I start. Some books I circle around and finish them eventually, but others I intentionally abandon.
The specific reasons might be varied (boring story, characters doing things that don‘t make sense, can‘t figure out what‘s going on, etc.) but usually boil down to I just don‘t care what happens.
