*WARNING: RAMBLE ALERT & MINI REVIEW* ••• Hai my sweet precious #bookies💕 || I hope you guys had an awesome weekend & the Monday blues didn't getcha down too much!!! Thank you guys for hanging in there with me when I don't post for a few days....life & reading of course!! 📚 ••• So as you know from a few posts back I started to read The Goldfinch with my friends @bookiewithoutborders @i.reads & @theclubofbooks.....sigh.....🙈. Two of them have forged on ahead with the reading like troopers {sending you guys more 🍨🍧🍦🍰😉. I'm proud!} and myself & the other have thrown in the white flag lol. ••• I really wanted to love it. I had heard so many good things about it, but anytime I feel like I'm forcing myself to read it's time to stop😔. I did make it to page 315. It's an 800 pager. I'm not intimidated by that at all. Slow plots can be great, but for me, it was just TOO slooooooooow & full of these very unnecessary, long drawn out mundane details😩. ••• Although many parts were beautifully written, I felt alot of things were WAY overstated. I do plan on going back to it but NOT in the near future 😂. Photo'd here is Salt to the Sea....Im also buddy reading with @teariffic.books I'm on page 106 & yes it is EVERYTHING!!! Will give full review later. 😙 ••• What books were you really excited about that ended up kind of being a disappointment? ••• TB: @strasbourglovesbooks Tag: #ditchthejacket TB: @bookidote Tag: #latestbookpurchase
