I saw previews and have sooo wanted to see it. <br />I like you have been buried by ARCS and have decided to curtail the onslaught of mail as best I can. I really want this year to be more focused on my choices that are not deadline driven. Good luck with your challenge. This one is a good one.wisteriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620398484256424032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-28807700171265057182010-01-02T12:21:17.108-05:002010-01-02T12:21:17.108-05:00Benay, I once threw aside a 400 page book one chap...Benay, I once threw aside a 400 page book one chapter from the finish line- just had all I could take. It was a book I thought I should like, just like yours- and I just didn't. I feel pathetic to come so close but I just can't bring myself to pick it up again.

Because I do feel very guilty about it. I have been trying to finish _Dogtown_ by Elyssa East, because it seems like it should be my kind of book, but I keep getting bogged down in the historical stuff that I think should interest me. I have 100 pages to go and am about to throw in the towel, but it's going to feel like a black mark on my record.<br /><br />And you aren't going to hear it from me that I haven't yet finished _Cutting for Stone_, because I'm afraid you might start throwing things at me! (Rest assured I still HAVE it, though...for that one I've got a galley I can keep, not a library book, so it will continue to haunt me until I do finish it!)<br /><br />Happy New Year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-47179974115319285532010-01-01T21:47:55.770-05:002010-01-01T21:47:55.770-05:00It finally dawned on me the day before last as I w...It finally dawned on me the day before last as I was settling in to work on my final post for 2009 that there was one book I didn't finish. I think because I was reading it off the computer, it slipped my mind. The first book in the Vampire Diaries series. I tried to read it over the summer and just couldn't get into it.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-21147450646180109342010-01-01T12:57:40.479-05:002010-01-01T12:57:40.479-05:00I think these posts have brought me luck, as I hav...I think these posts have brought me luck, as I haven't had any awful books lately.
