Let's get personal #29

 Hey there Bookies,

I am still alive. I went to Rockfest and had a blast, but I came back with a souvenir that I didn't ask for nor pay for. So my vacation got extended but during that time I was sleeping because I felt like crap. Also during that time I learned that Highest Bidder isn't a book for me either. Or I'm just not into that kind of thing right now. Pretty sure I'm in a reading purgatory at this point. I haven't been able to finish a book yet but I am determined to do so. I'm at least halfway through Iron Flame after being frustrated with it for so long. The book is good but I was forcing myself to read a book that I wasn't enjoying. Also I am still obsessed with Bad Omens right now since I saw them live finally and my brain rather focus on that than reading. Wish me luck.

Started reading Highest Bidder by Lauren Landish and Willow Winters

 

Hello Bookies,

This book is massive, but it is to be expected when it holds four different books in it. Since I am now on vacation, I figured I would get some reading in during my down time. This book will probably take my whole vacation but at least I am reading. I don't know anything about this book. I just saw some people mention it on TikTok and decided that I should check it out. I'm only on the first book of the four in this massive thing. I know it is about 200 pages and I'm already almost halfway through. We have our dom who is kind of sick of his rich mundane life and our sub, who only joined the club because she heard that she could make money to pay for her tuition. That is as far as I got. Nothing to tell. Also I'm pretty sure this book is going to be more focused on the spice than the plot but the only way to know for sure is to read the book. Wish me luck.

So until next time....

DNF Blob

 
 
Hey there Bookies,
 
Well I got so annoyed with a book that I had to stop reading it. The book just isn't my vibe and I felt like that the main character complained a little too much. I also found the book to be a little too slow for me. With my ADHD, I need books that keep me in the story and this book just didn't do it for me. I did get about halfway through the book and even that felt like forever. While reading this book, I felt like I was reading a lot but not getting anywhere in the book. I also felt like I was getting a lot of information but not a lot of it was helpful. So I stopped reading the book and returned it. Sadly this book gets one star from me because I didn't finish it. Time for my coworker to try again.
 
So until next time....

Started reading Blob: A Love Story by Maggie Su

 

Hey there Bookies,

Well I have learned that I have a coworker that is not afraid to put books on my holds list at the library. Got to work and found this book. I'm not sure what this book is about but my coworker thought I would like it. They say it is a quick read, so I figured I would give it a try. I don't even think this book is on my TBR. I'm sure I've seen it come through as a new release or whatever, but never paid much attention to it. But who is ready to go on this journey with me.

So until next time...

Let's Get Personal #28

 Hello Bookies,

Well, we have discovered why I've been getting sick a lot this year. Turns out I have asthma and with the air quality begin crappy, it is taking a huge toll on my lungs. I'm trying to read when I can but with this last wave of illness, I'm tired and have no energy to read. I already have one book overdue and I don't plan on returning it until I finish it. At least I was able to read a few chapters of that book while I was in the emergency room waiting for test results. Like I said, I got sick again and this time my asthma created bronchitis and breathing is hard. Hard to focus on a book when you are coughing every five minutes for ten minutes. Or, at least that is what it feels like. I'm working on it though. I did read more of Iron Flame last night while I waited for the time to be able to use my inhaler again. Anyway I thought I would update y'all on what is going on before I tried to get some sleep. 

So until next time....
