If you had asked me last week about my reading month, I would have said I’m skipping this wrap up because I’ve not finished any books! Luckily I was able to devote some time to my reads and finished up some books.
The books I read were: The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp by Leonie Swann; translated by Amy Bojang, The Spite House by Johnny Compton and Recipes for Love & Murder by Sally Andrew.
All three were enjoyable reads and The Spite House was my first R.I.P. read. As usual I’m carrying over several reads.
While I haven’t been in a reading slump, I’ve just been finding it a bit hard to focus this month. I think it’s because usually the last months of the year are always busy at work so I have to focus on planning those. Plus, I have and some personal projects I want to work on and I have a crafty workshop coming up in October. Yay.
So any of you have plans to take action Banned Book Week? While I’m not currently reading any banned books, there are many on these lists that I have throughly enjoyed and can’t imagine someone not being able to have the opportunity to read.
Hope you have a great rest of the weekend! I’m hoping to catch up on some reading this Sunday.
Being busy does get in the way of your reading. And I’m curious, would you rate The Spite House a 3-, 4-, or 5-star read?
I guess what I will never, ever understand is why the answer to not liking a book is NOT READ IT. If a kid starts an “objectionable” book, and it isn’t good or isn’t well written, wouldn’t that child just quit.
Is the Sally Andrew book set in South Africa? If, so, I did love it. But when I tried the second in the series, I just couldn’t get through it. Funny how that happens.
Yep, the last months of the year are definitely busy so my reading progress has been slow too.
I look forward to hearing what you’ll think of The Spite House as it sounds intriguing to me.
I feel like my reading has been suffering the past few months and don’t see that changing any time soon. I am reading though–and so I give myself credit for that. I am glad you were able to get some reading in this past month. I hope you have a great October and read even more great books, Iliana!
