myreadingweek

The biggest achievement of #myreadingweek this week was definitely finishing (the last 800 pages of) Infinite Jest, aside from that my pick was School of Velocity. I'm ready to start on my Christmas reading now the beast has been slain!

vivastory I must say I am enormously impressed that you finished "Infinite Jest." Was it easier to read on the Kindle? 7y

Moray_Reads @vivastory So much easier! Just the physicality of dealing with its bulk and flipping to the endnotes made the paperback a chore. It's a difficult enough read without having to contend with that 7y

Did You Ever Have a Family | Bill Clegg

#MyReadingWeek for last week. I didn't even realise I'd read two by Margaret Atwood until I put the graphic together 😅. Picks were Bastard Out of Carolina and Did You Ever Have A Family. The more I think about London Lies Beneath the more it feels more like a pan than a so-so...

BookishFeminist I really enjoyed Did You Ever Have a Family. Solid reading week!! Some great options here. 7y

Cinfhen Nice reading week! I liked

Did You Ever Have a Family

Moonglow | Michael Chabon

#MyReadingWeek has been a bit average this week. Moonglow was fantastic and I loved The Bloody Chamber but the rest were fairly forgettable (the less said about the dire Slade House the better!). Hoping for better things next week!

TrishB Lol 😄 love the different opinions. I loved Slade House and The Chimes! 7y

Moray_Reads @TrishB There were parts of the Chimes I loved but overall it didn't make a lasting impression. I hated Slade House, after the first two decent chapters I was racing to finish 😅 7y

DeborahSmall Like the look of Moonglow 📚💞 7y

A Brief History of Time | Stephen Hawking

#Myreadingweek (plus The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and Bodies of Light by Sarah Moss as audiobook and eBook). A day late but it was a busy week while I was bedridden! My favourites were Island of Books, A Brief History of Time and Changing my Mind.

vivastory @Moray_Reads What are your favorite Sarah Waters books? 7y

Kalalalatja How did you like the Sarah Moss book? 😊 7y

James Good reading week, glad you're feeling better. 7y

Moray_Reads @Kalalalatja Loved it. She's one heck of a writer. Not quite as good as the Tidal Zone but still fantastic 7y

Moray_Reads @vivastory I enjoyed the Night Watch and Fingersmith far more than Affinity 7y

Moray_Reads @James Thank you, it's good to be better but a bit sad that now I have to do things other than read 😊 7y

So Long, See You Tomorrow | William Maxwell

#myreadingweek Picks for this week were The Color Purple (it feels weird to spell it that way!) and Autumn but they weren't the best for distracting me from current events so I'm thankful I also had the imagined worlds of Terry Pratchett and Cornelia Funke to escape to. #escapism #fantasyvsreality

Tsubame Reckless really was something!! Loved it!! Another one I need to bring back from home after Christmas!

Reckless (Free Preview)

Moray_Reads It took me ages to get into it for some reason but by the time it ended I'd definitely enjoyed it 7y

A Constellation of Vital Phenomena: A Novel | Anthony Marra

#myreadingweek (+ Michelle Paver's chilling Dark Matter)
Books I've hated, books I've loved, books I'm already struggling to remember. But the good were so very good, in particular NW by Zadie Smith, Like a Mule Bringing Ice Cream to the Sun by Sarah Ladipo Manyika. #week44
