The slump continues. I still haven’t finished anything though I did do a bit of reading this week, though not as much as I would have liked because there was a dinner, and then a champagne and cocktail evening, and lots of work and dentists and at the end of each day I just collapsed all of a heap and couldn’t concentrate on anything.
I haven’t even made up the Christmas list I mentioned last week, though I have ben mulling over what it will include.
I have, however, been receiving pre-ordered books this week, much to my excitement and this bodes well for getting my reading mojo back. I’m not abandoning the book that I have been reading for 3 weeks because I do actually want to know who the murderer is and why. But on to the new stuff.
Physical books
- The Bazaar of Bad Dreams by Stephen King
- Bryant & May: London’s Glory by Christopher Fowler
These are both collections of short stories by two of my favourite authors.
E-books
- The Grown-Up by Gillian Flynn
- The Gameshouse Trilogy by Claire North (she’s brilliant, I met her at a signing, so lovely and enthusiastic)
These four are all novellas so I should have no excuse for racing through them.
I was also lent a book by my friend The Moff – The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins, and once again I will be the last person in the known galaxy to read this, so don’t tell me what happens!

Wishing you well with your slump! I was in a terrible one, but it seems to have gone to the wayside since I’ve been brutal to put books down if they aren’t keeping me interested.

I’m normally quite good at putting down books I’m not enjoying but it’s not really working this time round 😦

I won’t tell you that everyone dies in the end in The Girl on the Train then. 😉 But really, I’ll think you’ll like it. Either way, I’ll look forward to what you think of it.

I was told that the butler did it, as is traditional 😉
