The stories in here were good but I am horrible at reading short story or essay collections. They just don’t hold my interest.
I did read about half of this on vacation. Then I just wandered off. It wasn’t a bad book. I can’t even say that I wandered off to something shinier because all the gold on that cover is actually metallic and I had a physical copy of this book so it was literally the shiniest thing around.
I read the first chapter of this one and just felt like it was going to be annoying. There were grown women walking around talking about the hot cop neighbor and I said, “Yeah, no, I’m out.”
This one sounds good but there was so much pressure. It had about 10 people waiting for it and I had a line of library ebooks. I sent it back and put a hold on it again. Maybe I’ll have more time for it when it comes around again.
I just wasn’t feeling this one. I read about half.
This was another one with a long waiting list that I didn’t have time for when it showed up for me.
When I’m browsing for audiobooks at the library I tend to grab anything that catches my eye and then see what I actually like when I start listening. I’m super picky about what I keep listening to. I sent all these back because I liked something else that I started listening to. I never even started them.
I do like this author’s books so I got this one to read.
The nice thing about borrowing books from the library (at least for me) as that I don’t feel as pressured to read them as I do ones for which I’ve paid money. The bad thing is those dang waiting lines! My local library systems (city and county) are both giant, but the popular books still have huge waitlists. Boo hoo.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

I’m the same way with audiobooks! I’m trying to get better at listening to the samples to see if it will be for me.
