Ready to #TackleTheBeast #ConqueringCromwell #OddsAreAgainstMe Seems most of my Litsy friends have me bailing before page 100... hoping to prove them wrong😊If anyone would like to join our buddy read we will be discussing parts 1-3 on March 8!!!
rockpools How rude 😜! I‘m definitely enjoying it more this attempt - I think accepting it‘s going to be a slow read probably helps. We can do it 💪 (And welcome back 😘) 5y
Crazeedi I read Wolf Hall and dont really know what the fuss is. It was just ok 5y
KimM Mantel's prose is unusual and I think that trips people up in the first 100 pages. Once you get into it, though, its a work of art. Hence the awards. Can't wait for the new one. I've read the first 2 twice and they remain 2 of my all time faves. 5y

Kalalalatja I‘m not a fan of Wolf Hall, so maybe you‘ll like it 😅 5y
Deblovestoread I wish you luck...this should be right up my alley but I‘ve attempted to read it 3 times and failed. I don‘t know why it bothers me so much about this particular book. 🤷🏻♀️ 5y
Cinfhen I couldn‘t concentrate today @RachelO @Crazeedi @KimM @Kalalalatja @Kdgordon88 🤪I‘ll have to try again tomorrow 5y
Cinfhen Thanks @RachelO glad to be back 😘 5y

Cinfhen Join our buddyread @TheBookStacker 💙💙💙 5y
CarolynM I have faith in you and also in the book! 5y
Reviewsbylola God speed. 😆 5y
Cinfhen How‘s it going @TheBookStacker ??? Any hints for getting through the initial pages??? I just can‘t focus for more than 15 minutes @CarolynM @Reviewsbylola 5y
Reviewsbylola My hint is to bail. 😂😬 5y
TheBookStacker I‘m trying to get into it but very difficult. I want to like it but it‘s so boring 5y
CarolynM I wish I could help, but I didn't find it a chore. There is so much in it about power and its effects, how it is used, abused, manipulated and sucked up to. You do need to be able to concentrate on it. Now may not be the best time to be trying. 5y
Cinfhen I definitely think this is just poor timing @CarolynM ☹️ 5y
