Last week I wrote about three titles that have been in my TBR for a long time. It isn’t always the case that a book escapes my undivided attention for decades. With new books coming out every day (Tuesday used to be the traditional release day; not sure if that is still the case for traditional publishing) there are always recent purchases that are neglected.
Here are three I have been wanting to read for the last few years.
1.
This is the only of the three that I have started. I was gripped for a bit by the set-up in WW2 France. The length is what ultimately thwarted me. I am not a fast reader so doorstop books are a challenge.
2.
I’ve heard universal praise for this novel. Despite this, I don’t even know what it is about. I am a low-information book buyer and often have no idea what I am getting into when I start something. I like it that way. I was daunted more than once by the estimated reading time of fourteen hours.
3.
Are you sensing a theme yet? Light reads are more likely to get my time. This is another nearly universally praised story that I have yet to crack. I skipped the movie, though, which is a hopeful sign I might get to it.
