Yes. Just finished Lawrence Osborne’s ‘Only To Sleep’ which is a Phillip Marlowe story. Last night I finished ‘Halsey Street’ by Naima Coster but not sure that counts as I started it before the new year
not like the book thief. Different writing. Took a bit to get into but story was ok. We’re discussing at book club so I’ll come back to you with some pearls of wisdom. Lol
No, but I’ve started three, lol. One is well over 1000 pages and will take me a while to get through, one I read 300 pages of and ended up DNFing, now I’m about 75% of the way through Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson and loving it, I should be done sometime tonight.
I don’t know about everyone else, but speaking personally, it helps to have a lot of free time, no kids or significant other, and not many other hobbies, lol.
My main problem is falling asleep in the middle of a reading session. Lol. I just can’t keep reading for hours but I wish I could! Stupid work getting in the way! I don’t even have kids, just a husband and cat. Lol.
I have a complete inability to fall asleep while reading, which helps me out too, I guess. I’ve never been one for dozing off. Falling asleep for me typically requires laying in bed and staring at the ceiling for around two hours ?
I guess both extremes aren’t ideal. ?I never used to fall asleep so easily, but I feel like once I hit 30 it started happening a lot more. Of course when I actually get into bed to sleep, that’s when I’m wide awake!
@Michele personally I enjoyed it. It almost demands to be read in a a single sitting. I ended the book with more questions than answers though he brought it full circle well
Finished 2
@Heather same here
