EPBOT Readers discussion

Hey everyone!

Had a bit of a slow reading week. I read Wool Omnibus which Stewart recommended. I did enjoy it over all, but i felt like the first half was REALLY slow going. Took me about 5 days to get through, which is unusual considering the book isn't THAT long. Overall I was glad I read it, and the last half went much faster than the first. I'm counting it for my first book of a series I've never read.

I also finished Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew'd which I guess will end up not counting for anything but my book total. I was going to rearrange my list and make it the book with a cat on the cover, but Wool didn't end up fitting anywhere but the series prompt, which meant the rest of my shuffle doesn't work. But it's ok, it was a pretty short read and enjoyable.

Currently I'm reading We Were Liars which will count for my book with an unreliable narrator. It's ok so far, and a short read.

How's everyone else doing?

I totally missed this post last week. Sorry! Last week I was reading The Winter Palace: A Novel of Catherine the Great as my book with a season in the title. It was kind of meh and took me a whole week to get through. I felt like it was a bit of false advertising as it's subtitle is "A Novel of Catherine the Great," but it was told from the perspectives of a maid/courtier, and Catherine really wasn't in it that much. I suppose it was meant to give the reader insight into the machinations behind the scenes that put her in power, but still, it was a bit of a tough slog to get through, particularly since I didn't care for the narrator that much. Oh well--another book off the list, and I did learn a lot of things about Russia and Catherine thanks to all the Googling it promoted!
