I've been seeing a lot of debate over twitter about people sticking with books they don't enjoy. Therefore from this month onwards I'll be keeping a list of books I don't finish (I might even go back and add to last month's too so I have a years worth) for you all to see. I am very much all for giving up on books that I'm not in the mood for or not enjoying. Sometimes I go back to them eventually, sometimes not. Life is too short to force yourself through books for the sake of it.
Books given up on
The Virgins by Pamela Erens (too literary for my mood at the time)
The Amber Fury by Natalie Haynes (too much like work as focused on a school teacher)
Take back the skies by Lucy Saxon (wanted to try it as a debut author but I struggle with fantasy novels)
The Eagle Trail by Robert Rigby (too military based for my liking)
Sleuth or Dare by Robin Benway (2nd book in a series effect)
Shift by Jeff Povey (too much like work as kids in detention)
Amy and Matthew by Cammie McGovern (made me feel wrong. No idea why really)
The visitors by Rebecca Mascull (just wasn't doing it for me at the time)
Book events attended
None as such but I did have a lovely day in London with my lovely friend Non (soon to be published author of trouble) and Sarah and Sammee (two of my favourite bloggers) which was fab.
