My decision has nothing to do with the current situation but maybe it is no book to read at the moment because it seems to deal with the end of the world. On the one side.
On the other side, there might be people that _because_ of_ the fact that it deals with catastrophes, think, that it is an appropriate read for today‘s times because it‘s supposed to show empathy, solidarity and compassion. I can‘t say if it does so because I bailed on it.
bailedA quick bail.
I don‘t like the writing style. It‘s not fluent. For me it‘s too factual. Unwieldy. Unkind.
I‘m 50 pages in and still can‘t keep apart all the characters. Which is difficult, almost impossible, if you only get to know a name and a profession.
And I mean, please, what doctor would tell his patient that he is no doctor because of his high age❓🤦🏽♀️ if so, why hasn‘t he tried to find a successor❓
No, definitely no book for me.
That‘s part of my #KeepLitsyPositive – Day 5. I accidentally found 2 questionnaires with the total amount of pages of 9 today, that I knew, I would have to fill out someday, if not now, then in 2 or 3 months or so, and so I decided to quickly answer the easy questions.
Well, 4 hours later almost everything was done and I was angry with myself because I spoiled my own Saturday.
But then I decided to reward me with porridge with apple-mango-mash.
I don‘t want to complain as this is kind of a classic. But one that causes “slight” reading-hurry in me.
Shortly before I checked out “The beginning of everything“ 3 days ago, I took a look at my on-holds and saw that the next book would be available on April, 15th. Only to yesterday be notified that for that exact book (“Not forgetting the Whale“) I by now am also the next in line.
*sigh* 🤷🏽♀️ #BookwormProblems
Because of what @Saari84 posted about this book I had a look for it in my online library‘s catalogue. I had not heard of it before, nor of its author. But I was really lucky, it‘s in stock there. So I immediately put it on hold.
Stacked‼️
Thank you, Sarah‼️🙇🏽♀️
P.S.: I know full well, that in the middle of April there will 2 books become available within 4 days. Let‘s hope by then I because of that will not be running out of time.
Oh das Buch hat mich so bei Thalia angelacht. Und bisher gefällt es mir auch richtig gut. Liest sich flüssig und ist spannend und ich bin gespannt, welche Katastrophe sich da noch zeigen wird, die bereits angedeutet wird!
Kennt ihr das Buch bereits?
Habt ein feines Wochenende!
