Same!!!I took a week’s breather from this thread because I was downloading so many new books and I already had a right load which were languishing unread...
I should’ve known better - all that’s happened is I’ve spent a while catching up and made a big list of books to look up
You're right. I like Matt Haig, (and Reasons to Stay Alive is brilliant), but I do feel it was great timing for him to have a book like this published during lockdown.The midnight library would have gone unnoticed if it hadn’t been for the weight of the name behind it, which is frustrating for unknown authors who release amazing books around the same time but fail to get any attention at all and emails and reviews are all filled with talk of Matt Haig, I think over all that’s why I’m so negative about it.
You might like the Lacey Flint series by Sharon Bolton after that.I’m working my way through the Karen Hart series by DS Butler, a recommendation from posters here. Loving them .
Thank youYou might like the Lacey Flint series by Sharon Bolton after that.
Yes I agree! I love short chapters. It makes it so much easier to read.I had an epiphany last night about why some books take me ages to read and others I can flit through in a couple days. It’s all down to chapter size!
If a book has short chapters then I’ll always say “one more chapter then that’s it” but then I’ll check the next chapter and if it has 2/3/4 pages I’ll just quickly read it and then check the next one, and repeat multiple times and before you know I’ve read for another 20 minutes. If I look and the next chapter has 15/20 pages then I know I’m not likely to make it through before wanting to sleep/stop so I’ll put the book down until the next time.
Anyone else the same?

Definitely! I’ve fallen asleep with my kindle still in my hand no end of times, because I’ve told myself I can get through a 5/6 minute chapter and ended up falling asleep a couple of mins inI had an epiphany last night about why some books take me ages to read and others I can flit through in a couple days.
