I‘ve actually done it! I‘ve started reading Wolf Hall! I‘m finding it more accessible than I had feared (she says confidently after reading a single chapter 😂). I‘ve very proud of starting it even if it ends in a bail, as I‘ve intended to read it for so long.
vivastory I have not yet tackled this one. I don't know if you've read Mantel before, but a few yrs ago I read (& loved) Beyond Black 5mo
Deblovestoread Wishing you luck! I tried an unheard of 3 times to read this book. It‘s one I should love and I still can‘t figure out why it doesn‘t work for me. 5mo
Shamzi Its a trilogy, the first two books, although long, are great, really enjoyed them but the last one was a drag for me. I read all three with a gap of one year each which helped (edited) 5mo

BarbaraJean I felt the same way after having read the beginning, and then it slowed waaaaaay down 😂 It was worth reading, but I did find it to be a bit of a slog! 5mo
BarbaraBB You‘ll finish it, it‘s really readable and a bit of a soap opera. I couldn‘t get into the next though , maybe because I read it much later and had forgotten most of Wolf Hall!![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Bring Up the BodiesHooked_on_books @vivastory I remember you saying that! I definitely have it on my radar from your recommendation. I‘ve only read her short stories before. 5mo
Hooked_on_books @Deblovestoread You‘ve given it a very serious go! I‘m impressed. But I‘ve run into books that I should like and don‘t, too. Always a bummer. 5mo
Hooked_on_books @BarbaraJean I‘m glad you told me this! I will definitely keep it in mind while reading. 5mo
Hooked_on_books @BarbaraBB Thanks for the vote of confidence! If I like this one, I‘ll definitely give the next book a try, but probably on audio. 5mo
TrishB I loved the whole trilogy ❤️ 5mo
Cuilin @TrishB same 5mo

CarolynM So good. I still haven‘t conjured up the fortitude to face the inevitable conclusion of the last volume yet😩 5mo
