#BookReport
#week19
After a little hiatus I‘m back with a small book report...
Completed 3 books over the past 14 days, I just couldn‘t pick up a book, my brain was already working on information overload 🥺As you can see I did LOTS of bailing 😬
I‘m on page 13 of Wolf Hall but i feel like my concentration is off, I think I need something light ( Any suggestions?!?)
Working on #HardBoiledCrime for #JennyIs30
Hooked_on_books If you‘re up for light and banana pants bonkers, I‘d go with Tim Dorsey. His books are so nuts they usually snap me out of wherever my head is and they‘re funny. 5y
Freespirit Missed your input. Hope all well. I have patches where no book engages me too...i do a crime novel then..something juicy😳 5y
Kalalalatja I‘m keeping my eyes on this post for some light suggestions. I can‘t really concentrate either these days, so I feel you! 5y

Megabooks Maybe it‘s time to get our severance?? I know we both picked it up, and I don‘t think you‘ve read it either?? It‘s supposed to be satire. Also, on the nonfiction side, dad and I started Mobituaries today and it‘s a funny audiobook.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Mobituaries: Great Lives Worth RelivingMissAimz_55 When I need a book palette cleanser I usually go back to a favorite reread. I also tend to do YA or chick lit. I think anything by rainbow Rowell is good. 5y
erzascarletbookgasm I hope you‘ll find something that sticks. I‘m reading this, light and brilliant!Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day 5y
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a DayCinfhen Thanks for all the awesome suggestions @erzascarletbookgasm @MissAimz_55 @Freespirit @Hooked_on_books I‘m checking my shelves and my online resources to see if any of those options are available xx as an aside 2 library holds came in so I may start one of those 🤞🏽💓 5y
Cinfhen @Megabooks I‘ve heard Mobituaries is really funny, I think I may try that if it‘s available on Scribd. As for Severance I actually loaned it to my daughter 😬I‘m going back to NY in March and I‘ll have it then... totally forgot we were going to buddyread it, Meg. Sorry!!! 5y
Cinfhen I just started listening to a library hold @Kalalalatja and it‘s actually drawing me inChemistry 5y
ChemistryTrishB The reading mojo will come back! I always read crime novels when my concentration is bad. I think because they are so formulaic, person killed, find murderer.! 5y
Megabooks @Cinfhen I don‘t think we had specific plans. I think we just happened to buy it at the same time! I hope your daughter likes it. Steph, Emily, Lauren and I read Chemistry for the BOTM challenge. Apparently I gave it a pick, but I don‘t remember it well. I can‘t believe that was three years ago!! 🤪🤪 5y
KarenUK If you feel like switching, the Wolf hall audio is good too.... but for my favorite 🧠🍭 in print of last year wasThe Flatshare: A Novel (edited) 5y
The Flatshare: A NovelAlaMich I just discovered Barbara Pym. She‘s definitely light and humorous! 5y
Scochrane26 I always end up reading a rom-com or funny book after too many serious reads. This last week I read Meg & Jo and then the MG Same Sun Here. Both were easy but good. 5y
Billypar I would check this out if you're not opposed to reading about lighthearted pranks. Very funny - I recommend the audio version. And if you get sick of it, you can quit whenever since there's no larger narrative.Race Me in a Lobster Suit: Absurd Internet Ads and the Real Conversations That Followed 5y
Race Me in a Lobster Suit: Absurd Internet Ads and the Real Conversations That FollowedCrazeedi Wolf Hall didn't thrill me. I hope you find a good book to get back to your reading happy place. I'm kind of in a "can't concentrate " place too. I have 3 books I'm trying to read and they're fine but I'm just not in a flow...hang in there!! 5y
Reviewsbylola I‘m reading a pretty light one right now that may be a good choice.Dear Mrs Bird 5y
Dear Mrs BirdReviewsbylola Also, I was feeling the same way when I was in the middle of Villette. Now that that‘s over, I‘m getting back in my groove. 5y
Cinfhen Wow!!! Can‘t believe that challenge was 3 years ago @Megabooks TIME FLIES ~ we were all such newbies then 😜I‘m enjoying Chemistry as an audio but I‘m not sure I would have liked it as much in print. The stream of consciousness is working because the narration is so on point. 5y
Cinfhen My reading MOJO is BAD, REAL BAD @TrishB I just don‘t want to engage with a book but I‘m enjoying all the recommendations and seeing what others are reading/ suggesting @AlaMich @KarenUK @Scochrane26 @Billypar @Crazeedi @Reviewsbylola 5y
TrishB Maybe a couple of magazines until you feel like 😘 5y
writerlibrarian Welcome back. Ditto on Barbara Pym or E.F. Benson Lucia series is also good. 5y
