I finished Water for Elephants on Wednesday night. I am so ready for book club! I did like the book. I think I was expecting more of an epiphany or spectacular event toward the end, but it was pleasing. I really liked the main character, Jacob. Granted I have never lived or traveled with the circus, but the book seemed really plausible. What do I know, though? I am excited to talk about this one at book club next Friday.
I started reading this holiday romance trilogy that my mom bought after WFE. I have read one of the three stories thus far and it was horrifically weak.
I also realized that I am not on track to make my annual goal of 52 books per year. I just finished number 42. I am a bit disappointed in myself. I might still aim for 48. but that is still a lofty goal.
I haven't posted on BAMFs in a while, so I am super excited. I have read a few romance novels lately and they were so crappy that I didn't even care to write about them. Last night, I started Water for Elephants. I am about fifty pages in and am digging it so far. I was a little worried about the circus aspects being boring or irritating, but so far it is all really palatable. I am trying to finish this weekend so I can give the book to Jenny!. Also, I want to be done well before the 30th because I always wait until far too close to bookclub and then cannot get the book done.
I was thinking recently that I would like my job so much more if I actually took my lunch break every day and read for thirty minutes to an hour. Haven't done it yet, though. Maybe someday soon.
