I had a finish yesterday afternoon. Beyond that, I don’t really know what to call it. It was not a book or a novel. It was marketed as a “novella”, but at only 48 pages, I think that’s even a bit of stretch. Still, I finished and I’m adding it to my collection of completed reads for the year. (At this point, I need all of the help I can get to meet my goal of 40 books in 2021.)
Another post in the “One Love” series, this story featured a young woman who had been hurt in love one too many times. When she finally seeks out the services of a matchmaker, the first date is off the charts with the handsome vet that she is paired with. Will this relationship work out or will she manage to allow fear to self-sabotage her chance at happiness yet again? Definitely a light-hearted read to just get your reading motor started again.
Other than that short novella, I did continue making my way through some of my other slow burns. I’m still trying to plow through The Moonstone, but I’m beginning to have doubts that I will actually complete it. I understand the plot, I’m just not engaged in reading it. I also made a little headway through The Great Pianists this week, closing out the chapter on Beethoven. I’m hoping that now that I am getting a little closer to contemporary pianists and piano technique that this book will grab my attention during the week once again.
I also took the plunge and started an account on StoryGraph. I like the option to include ratings that fall between 2 and 3 stars because sometimes a book just doesn’t deserve 3 stars….but 2 stars seems too harsh. I like the site’s functionality so far and am hoping that I get better reviews from it than I did on Goodreads.
