Hi, I’m Mo.
I'm slowly but surely catching up on my TBR Spin reads!
I keep saying that and it keeps not being true!
For my May TBR Spin I got Build Your House Around My Body. I looked at the prompt in June, but It took me until July to finish this book. I feel like many of my TBR Spin picks have suffered from the way I chose, or when I chose, to read them. I decided to start reading Build Your House late in June, thinking I would finish it up before I traveled in early July. Since that didn't happen, I figured I would finish it on my vacation. That didn't happen either! I ended up finishing this book after I returned to NJ. It took me almost 2 weeks to read 1 book under 400 pages. That's a long time for me. I feel like my reading experience suffered from the time being so drawn out. I still really enjoyed this book, but I wonder if I would have liked it more if my reading had not been so broken up?
How do you like to read? Do you read one book at a time until it's done? The start the next? Is your reading fluid, or all broken up?
Build Your House had a lot of really interesting themes and ideas. It would make a great book for discussion.
Are you participating in the TBR Spin this year? What was your May book?
The rules for TBR Spin are simple! In Jan we pick 12 books and each month one of the two hosts will spin a wheel to help us pick what books to read from our stacks for that month. The wheel has different prompts, no prompts will be repeated, and we don't know in advance what the prompts are! If you're starting this game later in the year just start your stack with the appropriate amount of books (11 for Feb, 10 for March, 9 for April and so on...) and watch the prompt video for that month. Join any time! I vlog all my TBR Spin books and pick the next months book at the end of each vlog.
