DianneDS is finished with Martin Marten
The book I'm reading has 600+ pages not including acknowledgments. I don't know why this reading gauge shows only 309.

Arg! Hate to but I'm DNF-ing. I love Frankie and there's a great dog but the book just never lifted off for me and it's too long. Disappointed!

Slow going. This novel is the opposite of The Queen of Dirt Island with its many two-page chapters. This is dense. I need some morewhie space.
The writing is stunning.💚

long "chapters" --not really chapters at all more sections and it's fairly dense so not exactly a quick read.

I've had this book on hold at Libby since January with 4 more weeks to wait. 😬
I walked into my local library and right there on the NEW shelf it sat.

THE STRAWBERRIES ARE RIPE!

That means I'm crazy busy harvesting, processing, baking, freezing, eating, etc.
Not much time for reading so it's going very slowly.

Very little plot buried in excessive fancy-smancy (purple) prose. This bogs the pace to a crawl.
Meh characters not fleshed out. Rushed wedding. Do they love each other? Beats me.
I'm going to have to DNF.
