A couple of issues this week. Firstly I got to 90 pages from the end of Paris wife in the early hours of Wednesday morning on my way home from work – and then it fell under my rule about not taking books with less than 100 pages to go to work with me* and so it sat unfinished til the weekend. Then there was an issue with the Spider in the Corner of the Room – I can’t read it when it’s dark. It’s too scary. So that’s not finished because I haven’t had enough daylight reading time. This combining together meant at one point this week I had EIGHT books on the go at once. Which is ridiculous even for me. I think I’ve done well to get it down to four!

A couple of books bought this week – so a bit of backsliding, but in my defence, they were bridging a gap in a series (I’ve read books 1 and 2, and have book 5 but can’t read it till I bought the ones in between) so really the purchase is helping reduce the pile. That’s my story anyway, and I’m sticking to it!
* Because I finish them before I’ve finished the train to work and then have to carry around dead weight for the rest of the day.
** Yes, I’ve read this before, but I haven’t reread it in a decade, and it wasn’t on my goodreads list. And I read it properly as part of Novelicious’s Nostalgic Summer Reread.
