I have read 2 books and I feel like I am powering thru the reading pile and I am all inspired to tick those 15 books off the list so I have started to read another 3 books – all this week! Maybe I should just try having one book on the go and then when that is done another and reading properly which is how I ended up reading the last 2. I concentrated on the Mephisto Club and then repicked up Whistleblower (which is the book I was actually reading and not under the knife, it was a two books in one by the same author so an easy mistake to make).
Wicked I just can’t get into it cause I want to picture it as I read it like the stage show and it’s not how I remember the stage show to be, however I will keep on reading just not very often and will be the long book process that I pick up every couple of weeks read a chapter and then put down. Which I find such a shame cause I LOVED the stage show!
So on the reading list is:
Do You Come Here Often – Alexandra Potter
I am a few pages in and I can tell it’s going to be a quickish easy read. Here’s hoping. I have it on the bed side table so that I can encourage myself to read before bed and not watch DVDs in bed – but I’ll write another post about my habit breaking!
The Time Traveller’s Wife – Audrey Niffenegger
Which a chapter in I am quite enjoying, I didn’t think I would so that is a nice surprise. I almost feel I am slow on the uptake of this book as it was obviously a big hit before (and after) the movie came out and I haven’t even seen that. Although I think if I had then I wouldn’t bother reading it as one would wreck the other.
The Spare Room – Helen Garner
I bought it last night and I was tossing up between it and another book called Almost French (I was in Dymocks and was doing the 3 for 2 deal, and there are a couple of others I will go back and buy with Almost French another time) and I went with my heart and purchased The Spare Room. I started it on the bus on the way home and its 195 pages and I am 60 odd in and I don’t want to put it down. It’s not that it is the best written story, or that it is the most amazing story, it’s more that it is just an easy read, written in the style of writing that I think I would write in (it’s also based in Melbourne a city I love and miss, so I can picture it as well).
Well its Thursday I wonder if I can have at least one of them done by Monday…
