So proud of myself. I have finished 2 books this month. Only have to read or finish reading 6 more by the end if June to be back on pace! XD

ooh that's awesome, Kaderin!

Kaderin Triste 05-30-2018 08:03 PM

Lol. Hopefully that was just to the act of finishing books and not my being super far behind on my reading list...
XD

But yeah, it feels good to be doing some reading.

trystan830 05-30-2018 09:52 PM

hehehe

i love reading

Kaderin Triste 05-30-2018 09:57 PM

I generally do too. Except when depression issues make me lose interest in everything. It can be so hard to get into a book when that's going on. BUT! I will hopefully finish another book by the end of the week or possibly early next week. Just over halfway through Jane Eyre. It's been tough for me to get into really. And also has been kind of predictable, in my opinion, which makes it even more difficult for me to get into.

trystan830 05-30-2018 10:04 PM

well, yes, losing interest in things isn't good.... and neither is not being able to get into the story.

but - good luck!

I think part of it is that I generally prefer sci-fi/fantasy for a genre, so the more mild themes and plot of a lot of the "classics" tends to just drag on for me.

ah, that makes sense

I think because (except maybe thunderstorms) the noise of rain is a very soothing background noise and also because the weather isn't ideal for going outside.

I'm bad, I haven't started reading my book yet, but I have another book to review this month and it's super short so it's not like it will take more than a few minutes. I was going to try and get more progress in Vas before I pick up another new one from my shelf, since I'm getting into my read a bunch at once habit, which I was hoping to avoid.

I'm cleaning my shelves out now, and actually going to sell some of my books that I've hung onto and never read, or they're on the stack to read and see if I want to actually keep them. This covers some books left over from uni that I only half finished or didn't read at all.

Kaderin Triste 06-13-2018 04:16 PM

I'm also bad. I haven't read much the last couple of weeks. I haven't actually done much of anything really. Just work, sleep, repeat. Time to pack a book in my messenger bag again!

I'm impressed you're even half way through it. I've seen parts of the film. Not really my thing, and reading classics can be a slog, that's for sure.
