November Group Read: Check-in The Third

[glinda]

It's the end of week three of the challenge, how goes it for all of you? Hope you've all had a better reading week than I have, mine really doesn't bear close scrutiny! (I had toothache, and then antibiotics, it was not condusive to concentrating.)

Are we starting to flag a bit as November grinds on or have we triumphs to share? Anyone defeat a book that's been taunting them for long and weary? Share your reading triumphs and disasters in the comments below.

Folks, I've done it, I've finished a book! :O

On Tuesday (I think or Monday), then yesterday and today, I spent a total of 1.75 hours reading and finally got to the very end of "Big Brother" by Lionel Shriver. The novel ended up really grabbing me. I still like the only other book by her that I've read, "We need to talk about Kevin" (a mother's perspective on her son becoming an amok shooter at his school) a lot better but this was decent in the end. And I am so glad I stuck with it, yay! :D

I have selected the next book to read, "Machines like me" by Ian McEwan but I am not sure when I am going to start it as I have a lot of studying to do as well as job applications to write.

Well done on finishing the book and great that you've enjoyed it *even more important*. Good luck with your studying and applications.

Yes, I am so happy I stuck with the book, it really paid off in the end.

Thank you so much for the good wishes, much appreciated! :-)
