Friday Reads - 18th Edition

I am still not really reading. It is very depressing! I have only finished 2 books for the entire month of November. TWO!

This Week I am Reading:

The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde - This book is very entertaining. I am really enjoying it, but I am reading it very slowly because I am just reading slow in general. It isn't even a long book...








Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford - This is going to be a buddy read. Where I am not really reading, I figured I should start early in case it takes me forever to read it. I have still just barely started it, but I have wanted to read it for a while.







The Initiation by L.J. Smith - I was curious what the books were like in comparison to the show. They are very different! Another very short book that is taking me forever to read...








On-Going Reading:

Grimms' Fairy Tales - This will be on here for a while. I am just reading 2 stories a week and then reviewing them for the Thursday's Tales. Some I have read before, but others if I read it was so long ago I will hardly remember them.

  1. So sorry to hear you are still not reading much. I hate it when that happens. Hope that changes for you soon.

    I was not aware of the Jasper Fforde book, so I'm glad you mentioned it. Also, what a great idea to read through Grimms a couple of tales a week. I've wanted to read them, but need to space them out.

  2. As we're only 11 days into November I wouldn't worry about it too much. LOL. Quality not quantity. :-)

  3. The Last Dragonslayer speeds up as it goes on. I read the beginning slowly and then rushed through the end. I think the second one in the series is coming out soon too!

  5. I hear you about it being depressing when you know your reading pace has slowed down significantly. In September, I only read ONE book. And, August, I complete ZERO books. I am beyond...for now, thank goodness.

  6. I hope your reading time picks up soon! And I'm very glad you're giving Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet a try - it was one of my favorites a couple years ago.

  9. I bought the Fforde book as soon as I saw it in the shops. Still haven't read it. Come to think of it, I still haven't read Shades of Gray either.

    I thought you had already read the Jamie Ford book.

  10. **Terri: Yeah, I hate reading slumps. There are so many books I really want to read!

    I only heard of the Jasper Fforde book in the last couple weeks. It's a lot of fun! I really need to get back to it!

    **Cath: I know... Still... No reading means the pile tends to get out of control!

    **Kristen M.: Glad to hear it! I sort of stalled...

    **ibeeeg: Yay for being beyond! I hope it keeps up!

    **Carrie: I really need to get back to the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. I started it, but then I just didn't go back to it. I am glad you enjoyed it.

    **Pat: I actually thought of you when I received my copy. :)

    **Softdrink: The shortest books imaginable are taking me all month! It's just one of those months...

    Marg: I haven't finished The Thursday Next series yet, but this looked like a good interlude...

    Nope. I was supposed to, though...
