I gave up reading:

  1. Hi

    I noticed that you have two books by Gervase Phinn on your stack...I had never heard of this author...the titles looked interesting, so I'm going to check them out.

    Have a great week reading:)

  2. Wow! You read a LOT in June! I would love to read Raising a Modern-Day Joseph. That looks very good.

  3. I've got The Happiness Project on my TBR (although not for anytime soon)--It'll be interesting to see whether my assessment matches yours or the more enthusiastic review I read a few months back!

  4. Interesting to hear your concluding decision about The Happiness Project. I think yours is the first more negative (not totally, I realize, but you seemed to not find it all that endearing) remark I have seen on it. And I'm rather glad you stated your opinion on it because I've been wondering whether or not it's worth a read!

  5. Interesting that you included books you didn't finish...I could do that, too...I started Swan House but just didn't like the tedium of it.
