My First Post



Welcome, invisible readers to my new blog! That is presuming there is someone out there in the wide online world who has stumbled across my blog and has paused to read it. Otherwise I will just quietly talk to myself here online, which must be preferable to muttering to myself seated on a bus seat.

I wonder if other people have the same problem that I have, starting a new book to read. I finish a book and then can't move on quickly to a new book. I search my bookshelves for the next book to read, start it and then abandon it. I try the same genre and when that does not work I try a new genre, hoping to be transported inside a book within a few pages. If I force myself to stick with a book and it does not grab me, my reading slows down, which is another frustration, considering all the books I have waiting to be read. I have tried for the last week to immerse myself in the The White Russian by Tom Bradby and made it to page 78 but it is not happening. I am sure it is a good book - it just came at the wrong time. The last book I read was Above Suspicion by Lynda La Plante and I was halfway through before I realised that I had read it before. I kept going, though, because I was enjoying it and I could not remember the ending.
