Come and escape from the world in some great books!
There are so many reasons why books get left behind, lost in the meandering paths of the to-be-read pile, superceded by other releases and purchases, swamped by life and family and work commitments. Or perhaps you do pick them up but they don't chime with your mood at that point or your expectations... So, this Tuesday, let's take a gander at those books that I was excited about but which - for whatever reason - I have not read...
They - whoever 'they' may be - say that buying books and actually reading them are two very different hobbies! They must say it, it is a google-able image! And as I am in the process of moving house and trying to pack in advance. What were the first things I packed? Obviously my physical books! And ... there have been quite a number of boxes filled already. Old favourites and a few that I have been intending to read and never quite got around to it. Nor will I be able to for a little while as they are all still sealed in boxes. As is my crockery (save for one plate, one bowl, one cup each) and my baking equipment. Clothes? I'll do that whenever! So, these are a selection of the unread books still waiting to be read.
Well, it has certainly been a week this week: we have just had the landlord around for a property check, during which he chose to give notice to quit the property by the end of May... which feels very close at the moment. And there are not that many homes available in the limited areas in which we are looking in order to avoid disrupting our daughter's schooling too much... And today, out of the blue, I discover that my boss has been suspended pending investigations... So, the chance to reflect on short book, books to devour in a day, or when time is short, feels rather fitting! Many thanks to Jennifer @ FunkNFiction.com and Angela @ Reading Frenzy for submitting this topic. I may not have managed to keep all of these under 150 pages but the Claire Keegan's - real gems of tiny novellas - are so short my average is probably about that level! And there are a couple of series here, all of which fit the criteria really... so I have only added the first book in each series.
