I tried. I really did. I’ve had the photo of this book as my “What I’m Reading Now” for at least two months. I’d pick it up, read a couple pages, then put it back down. Repeat for two months. This weekend I really tried to get into it. I read to page 90, so I “got” the characters, but I found that I didn’t give a crap about them. I didn’t {and still don’t} care what happens to them. So even though I really rarely do this, I gave up. I’m going to put it on the shelf and maybe come back to it later. Maybe at a different time & a different frame of mind, I’ll like Clare & Cornelia.
But for now, I went to the next book in my TBR pile, Sue Monk Kidd’s The Mermaid Chair. I’ll admit I also grabbed it because it was one of the thinnest books in the pile! I’m ready for something good but interesting & easy to read. I’m only on page 9 but so far so good.
The January book club pick is Hotel of the Corner of Bitter & Sweet. Book club is January 5th, and I’m still 36 back on the waiting list. Hopefully, people will read & return it quickly. That way I can get it before going out of town, but I’m not holding my breath. I might just be going to book club to seeing everyone!
What are you reading now? I’d love to get some new book recommendations. And happy reading to you!
One reply on “Love Walked In…I tried…”
I've been trying to read Little Pink Slips (can't recall the author) for over a month now. It's awful, I don't care about the characters. There are too many characters & I keep confusing them. Thank goodness I only paid $3 for the book!
