  • A Brief Update

    Week 30 – Stalled

    This week I only got through three books, and none of these reduced my TBR (one was a new kindle 1st Read (The Night Watcher), one was a bookclub book (Days at the Torunka Cafe), and one was a book I thought I had read before and wanted to confirm that so I got it from the library and ended up reading the whole thing (The Lovely Bones)). It is a little disheartening, but I can only blame myself.

    On a more positive note, I give myself grace because I am trying to read the 1st Reads as they come out so that “pile” doesn’t keep growing. And it was good to put to rest whether I had read The Lovely Bones before or not (still not sure if I read it before).

    I did make a point to read some of my owned physical tbr books in the next week to make up for this kind of bum week.

    These, as I said, are the books I read:

    The Night Watcher by Tariq Ashkanani – Thriller: Worth It!

    Rating after 50 pages: 4 stars

    Final rating: 4 stars

    Days at the Torunka Cafe by Satoshi Yagisawa – Literary Fiction: Not Worth It

    Rating after 50 pages: 3 stars

    Final rating: 3 stars

    The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold – Novel: Not Worth It

    Rating after 50 pages: 3 stars

    Final rating: 3 stars

    So, for my totals, I still have 526 books to read, but I have read 116 and DNFd 20 so far.

    And until next time, happy reading!
