bailedI am pretty sure this is unfair towards the book but since I am reluctant to keep this back up for now about 40 minutes I decided to bail on this one. I am still interested in the plot but I don‘t know, I don‘t really find into it.
I have huge piles of unread books in my flat due to various thrifts and due to having gotten other people‘s read books, so I move on to the next even if I feel a bit bad about it.
Still not hooked by my current read. 🤷🏽♀️ There are passages where I‘m convinced the tempo will rise – but you know, about 100 pages in and already two double bottoms. The plot is not uninteresting but you really need to stick to the story and not pause too often.
Halloween is over so my neighbourhood supermarket has reduced prices for Halloween styled food. Above you see vampire 🧛🏻♀️ blood fruit juice. I also bought violet kohlrabi.
I didn‘t come very far in here, which is why I don‘t have a feeling of having gotten into the story – knowing the characters etc.
The story sounds interesting and gripping, meaning I really _want_ to read it. Ain‘t got no real plan why I‘m hesitating picking it up or where my reluctance comes from. *Sigh*.
Thanks for the friendly reminder @julesG gave me. Because I only then remembered that me neither I‘m prepared for possible Halloween 👻🎃 guests. My significant other and I decided to only buy candy 🍬 we both like to eat – so that it won‘t turn bad after Saint-Martin‘s-Day. 😂
Halloween 👻 ain‘t so big over here (🇩🇪) but is steadily growing – especially among the kids of course. I‘m no real friend of this development because we have “Sankt Martin” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Martin's_Day?wprov=sfti1) on November, 11th where the kids pilgrim their neighbourhood with (mostly self made) lanterns, sing songs about St. Martin and get candy 🍬 in return.
I hope to spend the evening like @Rachel.Rencher does.
How cool is that‼️🤓 Haven‘t seen a book that starts with the acknowledgement for a long while.
A very long while.
Years❓
Maybe.
So … new book, new luck 🍀. Again. Silly, but I appreciate that at the moment. After having been so disappointed by my reading experiences with Connie Palmen and Philip Roth, I feel I need something to restore my faith in me, the reads I choose – and my competent educational background.

To something completely different: German Littens: @Sarah83 seems to have disappeared. Haven‘t seen her posting for a while. Does anyone know❓
“Beneath the surface of Washington D.C., in a Cold War bunker, a group of men meet to sentence a young woman to death. It‘s Faith Lockhart, a brilliant young lobbyist, who committed an unforgivable crime. She knows too much, and won‘t keep her mouth shut.”
⬆️⬆️⬆️ Met the book at a thrift and it was this blurb that made me take it home and ignore that it‘s a 20-years-old thriller.
I thought I already have read something by Baldacci – but haven‘t.
