A reading update.😊 I was really interested in The Goldfinch and its premise, but I just cannot get on-board with the writing style. Overly descriptive and wordy writing is something I do not enjoy and therefore tend to avoid. I hoped to be able to work through this with this one, but after 200 pages I started skimming far too much, and have no desire to continue. So, it will be a DNF for me. I know so many people that love this book and hopefully it’s one that works for you, but unfortunately it is just not for me. . . . #bookstagram #thegoldfinch #bookreview #bookfeaturepage #cozy #booksandbeans #bookblogger #bookphotography #bookstagramfeature #sundayvibes #booksharks #bookish

The 7 day library loans really speed up the reading process. Oh the pressure!😆 I have been waiting for this novel for a little while now, so I’m excited to finally give it a read. Have you read The Bookish Life of Nina Hill? . . The only child of a single mother, Nina has her life just as she wants it: a job in a bookstore, a kick-butt trivia team, a world-class planner and a cat named Phil. If she sometimes suspects there might be more to life than reading, she just shrugs and picks up a new book. . When the father Nina never knew existed suddenly dies, leaving behind innumerable sisters, brothers, nieces, and nephews, Nina is horrified. They all live close by! They're all—or mostly all—excited to meet her! She'll have to Speak. To. Strangers. It's a disaster! And as if that wasn't enough, Tom, her trivia nemesis, has turned out to be cute, funny, and deeply interested in getting to know her. Doesn't he realize what a terrible idea that is? . Nina considers her options. 1. Completely change her name and appearance. (Too drastic, plus she likes her hair.) 2. Flee to a deserted island. (Hard pass, see: coffee). 3. Hide in a corner of her apartment and rock back and forth. (Already doing it.) . It's time for Nina to come out of her comfortable shell, but she isn't convinced real life could ever live up to fiction. It's going to take a brand-new family, a persistent suitor, and the combined effects of ice cream and trivia to make her turn her own fresh page. . . . . #bookstagram #currentlyreading #cozy #booksandbeans #amreading #thebookishlifeofninahill #bookblogger #booksandlattes #mondaymonday #bookfeaturepage #bookstagrammer #bookstagramfeature #reading #aboutabook #booksharks #booklover

You know those books that always seem to be on your “I should read that one day” list? The Goldfinch is one of those for me. And now there’s a movie and everything.😄 I feel like this fall/winter season would be a great time to tackle this novel, along with some others that have been living on my “one day” list. . Have you read The Goldfinch? Which books are you looking forward to reading “one day?”☺️ . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #thegoldfinch #dinnatartt #bookblogger #halifaxblogger #cozy #bookfeaturepage #tbr #bookstagramfeature #bookish #booksandbeans #readersofinstagram #booksandlattes #bookworm #booksharks #fridayreads #indigoweekend
