4 more weeks for the #10BeforeTheEnd challenge and I‘m actually feeling pretty good about it.

Currently reading 10 pages a day in Catherine The Great and should be done around the 18th.
Listening to The Correspondent
And, I‘m about 20% into Americanah

Hoping to finish strong! @ChaoticMissAdventures

ChaoticMissAdventures You have some great ones left too! I loved The Correspondent and Catherine!! 1w

GinaKButler @Amiable Ummm…I kind of hated it. 😬 (edited) 2d
See All 7 Comments
Amiable Oh, no! Really? Why? I loved it. But I love everything Adichie writes. (edited) 2d
GinaKButler @Amiable Ok, this may sound strange, but I think if I had read it when it was published (2014), I would have enjoyed it more (or if it was 350 pages, not 600). The whole middle seemed so contrived to put the MC in situations to lecture. I enjoyed the beginning and end, but that middle was a slog. I also hated the way she treated all of the other characters…I know it‘s an unpopular opinion. (edited) 2d
GinaKButler @Amiable I‘m going to try Half Of A Yellow Sun. I typically like the Nigerian authors, and I know she is well-loved by readers. 2d
Amiable @GinaKButler I mean, that‘s fair. I also enjoyed her short story collection: 2d

I‘ve started moving my list up every month and a book doesn‘t come off until I‘ve read it (or DNF and there‘s only been 1). As of right now, all but my December top 3 are from October, November, & December. So happy about moving so many books off my TBR this year! Thank you, Sarah! @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Fabulous month!!! 2w

CoverToCoverGirl @GinaKButler it‘s definitely a bit “juicy”. Those bits nearly did me in. This lady is a local author to me. She lives in Nova Scotia, so I had to read the entire series. Support local and all that… 1mo

Starting this on audio today…it is set in my city in Central Florida. I‘m unfamiliar with the case (and the podcast), as I moved here in ‘03, so I was intrigued when it came on my radar.

#bookspinbingo

CSeydel Oh I listened to this podcast! I was engrossed and absolutely outraged at the time. Later, though, I read some things that suggested King presented a somewhat skewed version of events, which is disappointing. 1mo
GinaKButler @CSeydel Ohhhh…I‘d be interested to read what you did. I haven‘t listened to the podcast. 1mo
GinaKButler @CSeydel My kids went to school with the appeals judge‘s (Abdoney) kids. I wonder what he thinks about all of this? (edited) 1mo
CSeydel Oh wow! Yes, I wonder. I‘ll see if I can find where people were disputing some of the spin from the podcast and share it 1mo

Let‘s try this again…I started this one in May and had to put it down. With end of school and graduation for my oldest, I didn‘t have the headspace for it. But, I love this author, so here we go again! It‘s my May #doublespin pick.

It‘s also on my #10beforetheend list.

TheAromaofBooks Enjoy!! 2mo
GinaKButler @ChaoticMissAdventures …sooooo what happens for #10beforetheend if I DNF this (again)? I‘m 215 pages in and I‘m SO bored! At this point, I feel like I‘ve given it a valiant effort! (edited) 2mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @GinaKButler that's fine!! The point is to get things off the TBR so donate it, sell it, toss it!! I am a huge advocate for DNFs. #10beforetheend is all about getting to 10 books, you don't have to finished anything. 2mo
