My Goodreads "Currently Reading"

Currently, I’m in the middle of an awful book slump and because of that, I am unable to finish the five texts I’ve been stuck in for what feels like years. Here’s a list of those books...

Anna Karenina - I started this work a few days ago and have consistently read a little bit each day since which I guess is a win. I don’t know why I thought Tolstoy’s 800-page novel felt like a smart move to get me to read more but it’s a decision I made and now I have to follow through. I’m flying to San Francisco this break so hopefully, I will be able to make a huge dent in the text if not finish the whole thing.

The Last Wish - I started reading this book in anticipation of The Witcher coming out on Netflix in December hoping it would be a new book series I loved. The fact that I have now seen the entire show and don’t even have the book with me doesn't help my wish to finish it.

Wayward Son - I talked about this novel a few posts ago and sadly haven’t picked it up since. Before I put it down I had a great time reading it. It has so far been light-hearted and fun but every time I start to open it up I get stressed and close it again. I will also be taking this with me over the break to serve as an alternative option to Anna Karenina in the hopes that it too will also be done when I return. 

The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women Across the Ancient World - I talked about this in one of my first posts and I am still trekking my way through the audiobook. I am making progress as I listen to it every night before I go to sleep but given the fact that I can listen to a maximum of ten minutes before passing out means that it will probably be a long time before I finish. 

The Book of Life - The Book of Life is the last book in the All Souls Trilogy and has been sitting on my shelf untouched for a few months now. While I loved the first two books I am someone who really hates endings. I’m struggling to get past page 50 not because I don’t want to continue but because I am scared to finish it. I know it’s dumb but A Discovery of Witches was one of the first books I have enjoyed in a while and I feel like I need to save the finale for a rainy day when I’ll need it more.
