Roisins Reading | Books I Struggled to Read (and Were They Worth It) @RoisinsReading | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
Hello! Inspired by @KDbooks I thought I'd talk to you about the books I struggled to read, and whether or not they were worth it in the end. Despite reading more than the average bear, there are still lots of books I struggle with, particularly it turns out mid century classics, medieval fantasy, and some literary fiction too.
