New Beginning
Oh no. I think I just started my new blog with an oxy moron. Oh well, one thing I want my blog to be above all else is honest, so I’m not going to fix that.
What my main goal is here is to spread the love about books I’ve read, would like to read, have heard about, and things peripherally literary. That last part sounded pretentious. I should have just said other book stuff. I’m gonna keep trying to do this. Hopefully you’ll bear with me and I’ll get better.
So, a little about me? I really like to read. Always have and hopefully always will. If you’re reading this I guess you like to read as well. Great, we should get along. Enough about me. How about my very latest book issue?
I picked up a book which someone recommended to me from the library yesterday. I used to be a book snob (only reading books I’d chosen myself) but am trying to expand my horizons. The book is called The Wedding People by Alison Espach. A new author for me. I enjoyed the first few pages but found out that there is something (I don’t want to ruin it for you by telling you what) about one of the main characters that I believe I would have a hard time continuing to read about. I’ve put the book down for the moment, thinking I’m not going to keep reading. - As an aside, I do not like to DNF (look at me using terms like DNF) books. I really don’t. - I have a good feeling about this book otherwise but have to make a decision. I guess it brings about the question of how far to go with a book before you just say ‘enough, I really don’t like this book’ for whatever reason. I’m not saying this is not a good book at all. I’m not even that far into it, and I am glad that the author brought out this thing I’m having an issue with early on. I think I owe it to myself and to be fair, the author, to try and see where it goes. Did I just make up my mind?
I’m planning right now to write here at least once a week; maybe Sundays. I’ll let you know what I decide about this book then. I hope I can keep reading it. I may even have finished it. If not, I have nine books at present on hold at the library, and my birthday is coming up very soon, so I’ve dropped my hints about books I’d like if anyone close to me was so inclined to give me a gift anyway …
Thanks for visiting my blog site, and I hope to see you again soon.
