Greetings, Bookworm Loyalists. I have an announcement to make.
I have decided that my time is too valuable to waste on
books that aren’t excellent. As a Mama
who could give birth as I write this post, I don’t have time to mess with
authors who aren’t publishing their A-Game.
So I abandoned The Red House
by Mark Haddon twelve pages in, despite having loved The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time years ago. I could tell this book was going nowhere
fast, and a quick look on Goodreads proved I was right.
Another announcement.
I don’t stick to my own advice.
I finished Miss
Timmons’ School for Girls by
Nayana Currimbhoy because I couldn’t let myself abandon two books in a row
(especially since I had purchased both).
Finishing this book has shown me what a terrible book reviewer I
am. I can’t seem to communicate why I
didn’t like this book. In theory, the
plot was interesting – so why was I so bored by it?
This is a real problem when you write a book blog and giving
your opinion on books is the only point to it.
Reflecting back on my posts, books seem to fall into categories such as
“sucked,” “just ok,” “pretty good” and “awesome.” Take that analysis, New York Times.
As I finish up what feels like year three of being pregnant,
I am open to any and all excellent book recommendations. Also, books about lactating, baby sleep and
How To Encourage Your Husband To Change Diapers-type manuals. Also open to foot rubs, cake and not having
to stand up for stuff.
