Drum roll please.
I have finished a whole book. Really. *Fanfare*
OK, so it was a re-read of The Shining for a book club I never made it too, but I have broken a month-long slump and hope that it’s the start of getting back to normal.
I also abandoned a book, again one I was reading for The Horror Book Club, and again I didn’t make it to the meeting (this time because I was a bit unwell). This was also a re-read, of I Am Legend which I had read before and liked but this time round found just far too bleak for the mood I have been in recently. Sticking to my guns over not going on with things I’m not enjoying because there are so many books and life is already too short to get to them all.
Still buying of course 😀
- Witches of Lychford by Paul Cornell
- Where My Heart Used to Beat by Sebastian Faulks
- The Elder Ice and Broken Meats by David Hambling
- Thirteen Guests by J Jefferson Farjeon
- The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly by Stephanie Oakes
Those were all Kindle books so I can pretend they’re not real. I also pre-ordered a couple of books but I’ll talk about them when they finally appear on my device.
But hurrah! I’ve read a book!!

Totally support you giving up a book you weren’t enjoying! Life is indeed too short, particularly when you consider how many books there are that you’ll never have time to get to no matter how speedily you read.

Exactly, especially as it was a re-read! I try not to think about all the books 😀

Just to let you know that “Master of Chaos” sequel to “The Elder Ice” and “Broken Meats ” is out now – would be very interested to know what you made of the first two!
