Mehso-so

I've been reading this since last year and it was verrrrry slow to start. It's written in four sections and I don't think I became invested in what was going on until the middle of part three. I thought the biology of the aliens was interesting but the end was kind of not very satisfying at all. I did laugh a bit at the Crazy Eddie motif though.

It‘s a book with a buddy kind of day. I do feel like I‘ll need the support to get through this one though. I feel like every time I log a session in Bookly with it the estimated time to finish adds an hour. This is deceptively chunky in that it never seems to end. I mean I never really thought 560 pages was chunky before but now. . .

It‘s a reading and laundry type of day. Out of the three cats Sierra is probably the least phased reading buddy.

#BookReport
This week I managed to finish two out of the three books I had planned which was pretty great considering post holiday lethargy and other family commitments.

#WeeklyForecast
My goal this week is to finish my one holdover from the previous year and then get cracking on whatever Book Spin throws my way so I don't end up behind again. Hopefully the Great Chunkster Apocalypse will not befall me again lol.

Happy #BookSpin Day to all who celebrate! This is my must finish stack to meet all my challenge commitments for the year. Tagged and the one underneath are this month‘s selections with the rest of the stack my backlog. Not pictured are my two #CalibreRoulette picks: Alphabet of Thorn and The Snow Queen. Thankfully RNGesus did not saddle me with yet another chunkster.

Audible isn't even trying to hide the fact that it's trying to kill my wallet.

I have so many scifi/fantasy books on my wishlist that are now on sale, and it's making my head spin.

Yesterday we went to Traveler's in Union, CT for lunch, where you get to take 3 free books with you. These were my picks! If you're ever in the area, definitely check it out. Their sandwiches are as great as the books. #freebooks #booksandfood! #connecticut
