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There are so many reasons why books get left behind, lost in the meandering paths of the to-be-read pile, superceded by other releases and purchases, swamped by life and family and work commitments.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...
This is a fun little topic! There are some parallels between headlines and book titles I suppose: they both summarise a longer text, intending to grab the attention of the reader in a crowded market, neither can reveal too much or give spoilers... But there is a great tradition - certainly in the more lurid redtops in the UK - of inventive and over-the-top sensationalist headlines.
I do enjoy these seasonal to-be-read lists, even if I consider myself in no way bound by them. Which is just as well really: looking back at the Summer To-Read list, I managed to read just one, a single solitary one, of them! Do I feel any shame? Hell no - no one should ever feel shame for what they read, how they read, how much they read or how often they read! As my mood shifted and changed over the Summer - and it was a little hectic! - so to did the things I fancied reading. I read what served a purpose at the time and that was great! So with that in mind, what vague notional TBR do I have for the coming season as the nights draw in, the mornings grow darker, the temperatures drop and leaves turn...?
