Bout of Books 11 Day 2

BoB11-200x200

Today, I continued with The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Micheal Chabon.  I’m still enjoying it, though a couple times I wondered why exactly a part of the story was there, as it seemed, right up until the end of the chapter when something important would happen, to be unnecessary. Also, it’s still a book I can put down for awhile when I need to, and I just might do that to read another book so I can have a break.  I have no problem with reading longer books, but the pacing in this one is a bit slow, and I find myself getting antsy, even though I’m still engrossed in it.  I guess I need a little more action, which I’m pretty sure I can get from The Stranger’s Woes by Max Frei.

I didn’t do either of the challenges again today, despite leaving work earlier than usual.  I also didn’t get as many pages read as yesterday, but I think that’s because The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay has larger pages with smaller type.  I have the rest of the week off, though, so I’m really hoping that I can keep the distractions to a minimum and do some of the challenges, as well as reach my goal of finishing at least one more book.

Bout of Books 11 Day 1

BoB11-200x200

Today, I finished The Killing Moon by N.K. Jemisin, which I was already close to being done with, and continued with The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Micheal Chabon.  The Killing Moon had me going back and forth between interested and slightly uninterested, just as the other Jemisin book I’ve read, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms.  I’m really enjoying The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, though.  I really didn’t think I would be, but the story is pulling me along.  So far, it’s a book I can put down for awhile when I need to, for instance, when I need to return to work, but when I’m reading it, I’m fully engrossed.

Since I had to work today, I didn’t do either of the challenges.  I have to work tomorrow as well, but I’ll be leaving early, which means I’ll not only have more reading time, but I’ll hopefully be able to do at least one of the challenges.
