I'm usually pretty open minded in my book selections and reading, but lately. The last three books I've read I either read just because I had it or couldn't get into it no matter how hard I tried.
I borrowed The Time Traveler's Wife from my sister-in-law and read it to the end, but not without difficulty. I found the plot very thin and could not follow it at all. This from a woman who has read all of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Series!
Another book I had was The Feminist Mistake, a work of non-fiction. This is a book I bought sometime ago and forgot I had. There was a book mark in the middle of the first chapter so I obviously gave up on it before. I managed to get through the second chapter this time around then graciously donated to the London Public Library. This is a book that basically says since I've decided to stay home with my daughter I'm making the biggest mistake of my life and will live to regret it. I honestly can't support a book that degrades my life style.
Lastly I won a book from Chatelaine and am three chapters into it. Again the book has a shaky plot and is just to real yet too unbelievable for me to get into. It is about conjoined twins who have polar opposite personalities and one of them has decided to write an autobiography. I wanted to like the book called The Girls because it is Canadian and I can relate places mentioned, but it wasn't possible.
Here's hoping my next kick at the can will be better!
