I have the exact opposite tendency I drop books so fast and sometimes it’s infuriating to know I have half read so many novels but can’t consider them read. I guess both practices have their benefits but I do try to remind myself that some books just aren’t right for the moment and I can return to them when I’m in the mood for them….. loved this lil newsletter and thank you for sharing!!!

I think there's a balance somewhere in there, I just don't know where it is, and so I err on the side of just plowing through... Not that it's always a pleasant experience! And I agree that sometimes it's just not the right time more so than not the right book!

Thank you for the mention, Juliana- and please never feel obliged to finish a book I recommend!!! I sincerely hope you enjoy the Lindsay book- but no pressure either way : )

Your crocheting sounds like such a lovely way to spend time; I am terrible at crafting or making things, which I think is why I enjoy reading about and looking at the things other people are capable of making!

I have noted down so many of your recommendations (and purchased some!), it's been a pleasure to discover a slice of literature I don't know much about and that I probably wouldn't explore if it weren't for you!
