Books in 2019 (#3)

I started off 2019 by saying I wasn't interested in reading anymore because it was just one more thing added to my plate. Then, I had two great reading months in February and March. Now, I've kind of slumped out again. Not because of a lack of books. But more that I don't have a ton of time (which sounds reallllllly dumb because I have time to retweet and watch TV, though I haven't been watching nearly as much TV as I'd like...which also sounds dumb but I really miss watching lots of TV...9 month olds take up a lot of time is, I suppose, what I mean here).

Lack of desire is more of an accurate description, I guess. Maybe it'll pick back up as we inch toward summer.

How to Walk Away by Katherine Center
This was chick-lit. I liked the writing style. It was interesting. I didn't like the story. I mean, it'd make a cute movie. This was my first of her books. I'll try another. Happiness for Beginners has been on my TBR for years.
For some reason, the epilogue, to me, read like a voiceover. I kept hearing Cady in Mean Girls, introducing her story at the beginning of the movie and then wrapping it up at the end.
If you like chick-lit or chick flicks, go for it. If not, you'll probably be bored by the trope of it.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
I really did enjoy this story, but it took me forever to finish it. I just couldn't do more than a chapter or two at a time. That's literally all I have to say about it.
Also, I thoroughly get a kick out of stories that take place in Europe. So I enjoyed it for that reason alone.



Well.
That's it.
It was a slow reading month for sure.

I have a few good ones queued up on my Kindle though right now, and I'm thinking I need to take a hardcopy break. I've missed electronic reading.



Linking up with Jana and Steph!
