DNF - I love Tana French but this is book two in a series and I haven’t read book one. Returned to the library to save for another day.

Currently reading because I’ve always been told not to and I’m entirely done with that. So far, well researched and interesting.

I did not get far into this but I absolutely loved the writing in the chapters I did read. Loved. But, alas, thanks to Christmas and a precious little flu bug I was not making good time and had to return this to library because apparently I’d hogged it long enough. My library doesn’t do overdue fines anymore but when I see others are waiting I have guilt issues. I hope and plan to pick it up again!

I have had to read this very slowly because while I love it and find it fascinating I have to keep taking breaks because the racism makes so bloody angry. We do not seemed to have moved the needle much from this zero sum thinking. I will finish eventually but I’m having to put myself in time out rather frequently.

Kind of slow paced but I’m diggin’ it.

Just finished the second story, Loaded, and I am traumatized.

The prose is beautiful and poetic, the story an intense, slow burn and I am well a truly stalled. It’s not the book, it’s me; it’s been a distracting couple of months and I just don’t have the bandwidth. I own this one so I am setting it aside while I read my way through a tower of requested library books that all seem to have arrived at once.

Oh dear - romantic suspense AND it looks like it’s part of a series I’ve never read but such are the vagaries of my emergency paperback stash. I’m supposed to be staying off my feet so needs must? Only about 600 more pages to go.

Could just be my present state of mind but this seems slow, hope this picks up soon.

I need to buckle down and finish this - I seem to have foundered on the sad beginnings of Eleanor’s life.

Meet cute alert!

It’s been awhile since I watched the Netflix series but I’m closing in on the end and I must ask: where is Jesper?

I’m not loving this so far.
