Reading for Me

The Books I Have Read…..Just for Me

The View From My Reading Chair – October 17, 2021

on October 17, 2021

Greetings from Salt Lake City on a rather chilly Sunday morning. This weekend was Fall Break, so I decided to head out of town and enjoy a few days of rest and relaxation. Although things didn’t go quite as I had planned — blasted back ache! — I am still very thankful that I got some rest, but it’s time to head back to my normal routine.

Since I was taking some time off, I also took a bit of a reading holiday while in SLC. I had “plans” of getting some quality reading done, but the mountain air just made me sleepy and there were so many things to see! Before starting my break, I did manage to get some productive reading done. I continued to slowly make my way through The Great Pianists and have really enjoyed looking at Listen to Me by Kristen Proby. I made good progress on this romance novel on my flight into SLC on Thursday. With any luck, I’ll maybe have a finish before hitting the ground in Amarillo tonight!

That brings us to the topic of The Moonstone. I’m really at a crossroad with this book. On one hand, I have invested so much time in reading this book that I just want to see it through to the end and mark it off of my list. On the flip side, there are so many good books in the world! Why am I slogging through a painful read? As hard as it is for me to accept, I think this book is about to move into my DNF pile. I’ve gotten a taste for the style of the writing. It’s definitely not something I’m going to recommend to anyone else. Hmmm….I guess I just came to a decision while writing this post! Why was that so hard?
