I think that’s my thought process too because my projects aren’t due to start till January but I’ve got to do all the prep work now so everything is ready for launch but I just can’t do it. I had a massive error when I scheduled the project launches for my first day back after two weeks of leave. What was I thinking?!Im also on cannot be fucked mode and also only have weekends and public holidays off.
I'll deal with it in the new year is v much my thought process at work atm.
american wife will always be her best book imo, so i would rec that highly! i really like prep and rodham too (though the latter isn’t without issuesCurtis Sittenfeld - I've just finished Romantic Comedy and loved it, are any of her others worth a read? I tried Eligible, and liked the premise of it but I couldn't get past the first couple of chapters.
Unclear. She keeps telling me about how she has requested them from the library but "they can only get them in large print or from the prison" and she seems to think if they come from the prison they'll have... I dunno, drugs in them or something?Has she read all the novellas?
Thanks, that sounds up her street. The first GoodReads review is certainly scathing XDThe Chronicle of St Mary's books might be worth a look.
Agreed - American Wife is a great read!american wife will always be her best book imo, so i would rec that highly! i really like prep and rodham too (though the latter isn’t without issues) - i struggled with eligible too, but i think it was more her writing style just doesn’t have the warmth needed for that type of story.
I finished this on audio yesterday and thought it was a really interesting listen.Going to spend the weekend reading though and finish The Girls and move onto Penance.
Oooo the fact you thought it was real though makes me even more interested!I finished this on audio yesterday and thought it was a really interesting listen.
Although, and I’m not sure I should be admitting this, I was about 80% through before I realised it was fictional 🫣 I wondered why my search results were producing nothing at all. I’m an idiot.
I loved Verity, it felt a bit slow at first then it picked right up and I couldn't put it down!!!I’ve got Z left to read from my a-z challenge then I’m done! Reading verity first, it’s been on my kindle for a while. I’m finding it a bit meh.
I don't think you should do this. The only reason he's still there is because you've probably bought more booksIve decided I think I may have a cull with my TBR. Feel like if it was on my list this time last year and I havent even considered reading it then it should go? Argh I cant decide.
oh no! Have you checked on Vinted? Lots of books on there for £1, might be better to just cut your losses and then sell it again afterwards!In other news - my library has just emailed saying they are going to move from Libby to Borrowbox in the new year. All holds, borrowed lists and wishlists will be lost.I have had a hold on one book since April, am now in 17th place - what are the chances that I'll never get it after waiting all this time?
This is so relatableI've decided in 2024 I am not buying ANY MORE books.
So naturally I bought two more in preparation today.
I’ve thought about this too. Always talk myself out of it incase I end up with nothing to read, as if that’s ever going to happenIve decided I think I may have a cull with my TBR. Feel like if it was on my list this time last year and I havent even considered reading it then it should go? Argh I cant decide.
Noooo!Ive decided I think I may have a cull with my TBR. Feel like if it was on my list this time last year and I havent even considered reading it then it should go? Argh I cant decide.
Give them another year! You may feel them in the next year instead!Ive decided I think I may have a cull with my TBR. Feel like if it was on my list this time last year and I havent even considered reading it then it should go? Argh I cant decide.
Abliophobia... I can relateI’ve thought about this too. Always talk myself out of it incase I end up with nothing to read, as if that’s ever going to happen
Very over-hyped and shouldn't have even been marketed as a book for adults. Preachy. Loads of errors in my edition. Feel like the editors were lazy with it as they knew the author would sell well whatever and they'd pump funds into a huge marketing boost. Good concept thoughI’m just over halfway through The Midnight Library by Matt Haig and honestly I’m so bored.. what’s everyone’s thoughts on it?
*abibliophobia, even.. not a word I've ever written before!Abliophobia... I can relate
