Janni_B is 50% done with The Sea Sisters
I'm still reading this although it's taking me much longer than usual. I'm not sure if this is because it's not really an exciting page turner or because I've had a very busy ouple of weeks - maybe a bit of both. I don't dislike it but I don't feel like picking it up every time I sit down.

At last! A book I don't want to put down. I started it late last night before going to sleep and continued when I wakened. I'm off to make some lunch and read some more!

I've given up on this one. Not for me.

It's wonderful - harrowing at times but an engrossing memoir.

Initially I had my doubts, it seemed slightly on the slow side, but I'm enjoying it now. I think perhaps I was just getting used to the names, vocabulary and speech patterns.

Slow start. Wasn't sure about this one which has been on my Kindle library for a long time but I'm quite intrigued now.

I'm hoping to finish this one tonight. Initially I wasn't sure if I was going to like it but it's actually rather good. Nothing too taxing. Some secrets are out and in my head I'm joining the dots.... but I could be completely wrong!

I was sent a review copy of this book. I'm liking this thriller so far. A tense, gripping start. I've to watch out for. Available early April.

Janni_B is finished with Joyful: The surprising power of ordinary things to create extraordinary happiness
Finished for now.

Interesting book but just too much relentless joyfulness for me! There are some interesting sections however and I might have a go at trying some of the simple changes suggested. I haven't read all the way to the end though (yet!),

I was reading it on kindle app (a review copy) however I do think I would enjoy it better as a physical book that I could dip in and out of at random.

Janni_B is 50% done with Lincoln in the Bardo
I give up with this one. I've managed to get past 50% but it is slow going.
It's just not to my taste and it is taking me too long to get through it. If I really liked it I would have finished it a week ago! Back to the library!
