Ok...can we all just give me a little
pat on the back here...
it's February and I'm already at 6 books read!
(actually, it's 7 but I am getting ahead of myself).
Yay me!
I just went back to compare where I was at
this time last year
and I had read 1 book.
ONE book.
By February 20th!
What on earth was I doing!
Any wonder I didn't make my goal last year!
Such a slacker.
So anyway.
I just finished The Last Tudor by Philippa Gregory.
If you read this blog at all, you will know that I
always preface my "reviews" with ... (& I use the word review in the
loosest possible way...I really shouldn't even say review...
it's not a review...if anything it's a recommendation...
or maybe even the equivalent to a facebook thumbs up or down...
but I do not consider what I write here to be a review....
that requires work & thought & proper punctuation
and well...
I just wanna say hey...that book was super-awesome
or that book? not so much and leave it at that.)
So anyway.
I got off on a tangent there and didn't even finish the sentence I started.
This is why I can't write reviews.
Anyway. I always preface my reviews (*see above) of this author
with guilt that I am admitting I like these books.
And I wasn't going to do that this time.
This time, I was going to be like damn it, I love these books
and I am not apologizing for that.
But then,
I didn't quite love this one.
I'm not sure why. I really don't think it was the writing...I always love her
writing. I think it might have just been where my own head is at and just
bad timing and I just HATED ELIZABETH SO HARD that
it kind of frustrated me throughout the whole story.
So if you like these books, please do not let this "review" (air quotes) stop you
from reading it. If anything, go read it and then maybe we
can be united in hatred of Elizabeth.
Again. So not a review. More of a book-related-ramble. Rambles I can do.
(and Philippa Gregory, if you happen to come by and read this
please accept my sincerest apology. I really do love your books!)
