Do you keep a list of what you read? How many pages do you give a book before giving up? Librarian Nancy Pearl, I believe once said- same number of pages as your age, or maybe double that. Do you finish a book no matter what? I always think it's my mood, I put the book down and pick up a book in a different genre. Maybe ,I'll go back to the original book I put down at another time.
Do you read multiple books at the same time?
I confess, I do. I try to have books in different genres going.. like right now, I am reading Duplicity by Ingrid Thoft. She is a PNW author, but her Fina Ludlow mysteries are all set in Boston. She will be at our Poulsbo store, January 24th 6:30pm. I have enjoyed all of her mysteries. Duplicity is number four.
I am also reading
Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. Fabulous, of course! The cover alone is amazing! It goes on sale February 7th 2017.
Last, but not least, I just started The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden. Kate, our main bookseller in our Bremerton store (409 Pacific) just finished it and loved it. Similar to Uprooted by Naomi Novik, she says.
