Therefore, my "currently reading" section on Goodreads has a few stragglers. Usually I just leave them there, and in December, I basically poop or get off the pot, if you know what I mean. Here are a few books that are in my currently reading (half read) queue. If you have read any of them, please let me know if you think I should cut them loose or try my hardest to get them read by the end of the year.
In Memoriam (Alice Winn): Lisa liked this, so I wanted to like it, but after a few pages, I kind of drifted off, mentally. However, it also got a 4.52 on Goodreads.
Murder in the Family (Cara Hunter): I started this audiobook and there were so many characters that I soon lost track.
Lessons of a Lakota (Billy Mills): This was a PDF that someone gave to me and the print is weird, so I cannot zoom the letters and have to read it as pretty tiny print. I like learning about Native history, but had a hard time getting into it.
Leviathan Wakes (James Corey): This is number one of the Expanse series and all my friends have loved it and it got 4.31 on Goodreads. This was also a PDF but I did end up putting the audiobook on hold in hopes that it would be a better fit.
The Hunter (Tana French): I really like this author and have enjoyed a few of her other books, and this one got 4.1 on Goodreads. I want to like it, but the first few chapters are not drawing me in.
All The Colors in The Dark (Chris Whitaker): I recently read and enjoyed his other book We Begin and the End, but my loan expired on this before I got more than a few pages in. Also it got 4.35 on GR.
The Long Walk (Brian Castner): This book is about a man who had to deal with unexploded ordinances in the war and how it affected him mentally. I want to like it but it is not drawing me in! It has a 3.95 on Goodreads.
By Any Other Name (Jodi Picoult): I was really enjoying this book when I got to Elisabeth's house and due to not really spending time listening to audiobooks, my loan expired. I put it back on hold but it was another couple month wait. Waahhh.
Wanted: Toddler's Personal Assistant (Stephanie Kiser): This was slightly entertaining me when the loan expired. Same story as above, the new hold is still a couple weeks of waiting.
The other thing that I did not say is that now that I am not on the bike as much my reading has gone from like five books a week to maybe one book a week! Regardless, whatever is left at the end of the year that I have not yet read will probably be a DNF.
Have you read any of these books? If so, which four or five should I focus on? Are there any here that you abandoned?
This is my last NaBloPoMo post. We will now return to our regularly scheduled programming.
