Currently I am reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine very slowly. It's hard for me to take a break from my other hobbies. I'm over a 1/4 of the way through it and I really am enjoying it.

I struggle to think of favorite genres. I just really like things that capture the dread of being a mentally ill woman.

I struggle to think of favorite genres. I just really like things that capture the dread of being a mentally ill woman.

I think I'll add that to my read list. I don't usually read romance (with the recent exception of Jane Eyre), but the protag seems pretty cool from the description. Mentally ill females are always a joy to read. No matter how unhinged they are, sometimes I can see myself in them, and that's cathartic to me.

I just have a hard time getting myself to sit and read.

That was me for the past two years! I used to be such a bookworm, but before long I suddenly had a lot of difficulty committing to reading something. I would sit down and gobble 100 pages in one sitting, only to abandon it for months on end, even forever. As of late, I've made a concerted effort to start reading just a little bit every day and regain the happiness I used to have.

Right now I'm reading "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

He's one of my favourite authors of all time! I won't spoil anything, but that's such a good book.
As for myself, I'm reading The Guest Cat. It's very charming so far, but I hope it lifts up soon to something brigher. I'm about halfway and it got pretty sad.

He's quickly becoming a favourite of mine too! I've read Crime and Punishment and I loved it a lot.

Last book I finished was a couple weeks ago. Neil Gaiman - The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I love his work sooooo much. Prior to that was the third read of Tom Robbins - Tibetan Peach Pie. Alos love his work soooooo much. Not sure who of the two is my favorite author, but it's definitely one of them.

I just finished reading the 4 volume Winterlands series by Barbara Hambly. Sometimes I find a good book or even series and just *devour* it. I read these 4 books in less than 2 weeks.

I have to go into the wound care clinic three times a week (recovering from surgery) and I'm thinking maybe I should bring my book so I finally start reading it. I end up sitting there bored for a while waiting most mornings so it'd be a great time to get myself to read.

I think I'll put my book in my bag.

I don't know how to read, but I've really been enjoying looking at hot butlers in Black Butler lately. Highly recommend.

I ACTUALLY FINALLY STARTED MY BOOK TODAY!

I'm rather proud of myself. I brought my book to my early-morning medical appointment and actually started reading it. Woo!

It's good to hear you've started your book! How far along are you now? I hope your surgery recovery is going well also.

I've been in a bit of a reading slump as of late - I recently bought an old copy of Pride and Prejudice from a local thrift store, but I haven't made it past the first chapter. I'm not too fussed about it though as I'm engaging in other hobbies in the meantime.
