I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Did you get anything bookish under the tree? My husband surprised me with some sleep headphones for my audiobooks, and I'm loving them.
Posted Last Week
Finished Reading
The Glare by Margot Harrison (dnf) - This one came off as preachy so I had a hard time getting into it. This isn't my style of horror YA.
The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher ⭐⭐⭐⭐★ - Oh my goodness, I'm struggling with my final rating on this one. So much of it was a 5⭐ read for me, but it lost me a little bit in the end.
White Fox by Sara Faring (dnf) - This was another dnf for me this past week. I put it down at 30%, and I was struggling to pick it back up. I'm trying to be better about not forcing myself to continue on when a book just isn't clicking with me.
Currently Reading
I shouldn't have mentioned last week how well my reading streak has been. I jinxed myself, and now I'm in a slump. I'm not sure what I will pick up to finish out the year.
Added to the TBR
I'm not sure which best of the year lists tipped me over to buying The Lost War by Justin Lee Anderson. I've read/watched so many, and at one point this past week I grabbed the audio for this one!
So what about you? Let me know what you're reading this week or leave me some links!

Oh, no! I hope you get out of your slump quickly.
ReplyDeleteIn December I read what I want more than usual, meaning more library and books I own rather than ARCs. I find changing up genres means I don't seem to ever slump, or maybe it's the switching between audio and ebooks? I hope you have a quiet week with more time off to relax and read.

Oh that's a bummer about White Fox! Hope you're having wonderful holidays! :)
ReplyDeleteI really want to read The Hollow Places! especially since it was among the 2020 horror goodreads awards finalists
ReplyDeleteSleep headphones sound cool! Hope you had a lovely Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're in a slump, but maybe you just need to sleep and watch TV so you can relax for some time ? Take care !
