I did better this month than last, despite feeling restless much of the time. I started a few large books that have since been idling on a table. But here's what I did finish:
The Lost Boy - Camilla Lackberg
Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew'd - Alan Bradley
The City Baker's Guide to Country Living - Louise Miller
Fifty Days of Solitude - Doris Grumbach
Bodies in a Bookshop - R. T. Campbell
Bear - Marian Engel
Turn Right at Machu Picchu - Mark Adams
The Princess Bride - William Goldman
The Skeleton Road - Val McDermid
Hiss and Hers - M. C. Beaton
You can see a trend here toward mindless reading, comfort books, things that don't require too much attention. I started and discarded a couple of books. Life's too short. I can't imagine December's list will have much more depth. We'll see.
If you enjoyed the books, that's what matters! I can hardly believe it is December already!
ReplyDeleteI know. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I read mostly for entertainment, and that's okay.
DeleteI can't believe it's December either. In addition to Christmas shopping, all three of my grandnieces (4,4 and almost 6) have birthdays within a month of Christmas. Of course, that gives me the opportunity to buy pretty and fun books for them. They all love books, thank goodness!
That is quite a list of books, I don't think I managed that many in November. I didn't realise that one of the girls was almost 6, it seems no time since they were born.
ReplyDeleteWe still have a hard time realizing that my three nieces are old enough to have children, one of whom is now in college!
