I really did not like Exciting Times. I struggled through and made myself read it allI started Exciting Times last night - took it to the hairdressers to try and read (instead the trainee tried to flirt with me), I'm just not loving it? I think it's the style - disappointed as I am also a TEFL teacher abroad with romantic problems
That's one of my worst books of the year, I got so angry reading it that nothing was happening.I started Exciting Times last night - took it to the hairdressers to try and read (instead the trainee tried to flirt with me), I'm just not loving it?

YES! Like what is even going on here? I'm 100 pages in and it's tough goingThat's one of my worst books of the year, I got so angry reading it that nothing was happening.
I am so glad I have not picked it up! I was tempted as I do like some angry/depressed millennial women literary fiction (It's an expanding genreThat's one of my worst books of the year, I got so angry reading it that nothing was happening.
Id be lost without the library now!!!!My morning trip to the library was successful. Picked up 7 books. 6 for me and 1 for OH. I've finished the first one - Convenience store woman. It was a quick read (163 pages) and was really good. I've had it on my wish list for over 2 years so really glad I picked it up.
I've done a quick look at the prices of the 14 books I've got from the library the last few weeks. If I purchased kindle it would've cost £72. Paperback would've been £102. That is a crazy amount saved!
I can only say again how much I love it when you talk about using libraries. They are under constant threat in England and their funding decreases every year. This year senior managers questioned if we actually needed a book fund to buy new books or could we source them “elsewhere “! Every time you use your library service you support it, thank you on behalf of library staff!Id be lost without the library now!!!!
Exit is brilliant!I collected 3 books from the library yesterday so have 5 waiting to be read now.
Complete first world problems over here
Think I'm going to start with 'exit' by Belinda Bauer.

Same! I had a card that I opened at the beginning of 2020 and all summer I was just getting books from my library!Aw this makes my heart happy! i talk about the library none stop nowI even have my neighbour using it again, she’s in her late 70’s and learned how to use the app and now goes back to the actual library every week, I hate that it took lockdown for me to really appreciate it again! I’m honestly the biggest fan at the moment, it’s like a sweet shop to me.
I feel so validated that other people hated this book too. Did you really enjoy the bit whereFinally finished Exciting Times this morning - I literally threw it across the room, my boyfriend was rather concernedSo glad it's done - I have so many books to read (and so many that I've started to finish!). Currently reading Atlas of AI and Quiet: The Power of Introverts, but will pick up another fiction book once I've stopped being angry at Exciting Times!
The whole relationship was just like ??I feel so validated that other people hated this book too. Did you really enjoy the bit whereThey have a whole conversation where she says she's moving out, he says ok, she gets angry at him, says she's not moving out and he just goes ok
