Mehso-so

Although I do have to read this book for my Argumentative writing class, I do enjoy the stories in it. There's a few I recognize from previous English classes in high school as well.

I'm stubborn so I usually finish what I start, no matter what, but here's a few that I #DNF. Some I plan to try again; others are a big nope. #ReadJanuary

Gormenghast - Struggled thru the 1st book & quit

Alice - Read the 1st book

American Gothic - Bailed. Twice.

Brief History - Put on hold to avoid spoilers

Kalevala - Good, but repetitive & LONG

Ulysses - WTF? Seriously.

Walden - Wanted to love it; got bored

Blockbuster Novel - On hold

I've fallen behind on the #booktober photo challenge so I'm trying to catch up! This one's on my currently reading list, but I've been neglecting it in favour of The Name of the Wind and some books about writing. #shortstories

I can't believe I missed this challenge yesterday!
This short story collection is fantastic; a wide variety of authors with some spine-tingling stories. The ones that you aren't always sure what exactly is going on. 👻

QueenAnne Added it to my tbr! Also, I would like to invite you to join us in October for #Scaretober ! More details will follow on my page 😉📚 8y
JPeterson @QueenAnne Ohh, yes! That sounds fantastic! Great idea! 👏👏 8y
