(Unless you HAVE to read it). <br /><br />Just thinking about all of the good books I could be reading while trudging through one that I'm not enjoying makes me sad. I really should have stopped with Pickwick earlier, I was just hoping that it would win me over and I'd suddenly start enjoying it again like I did at the beginning!<br /><br />Thank you! I'm so excited!

I just couldn't care enough about what was going to happen (nothing) and it was becoming a painful experience! Plus, seeing out the year reading nothing but Pickwick would have made me cry...I've started reading a thriller now and it seems lightning paced!<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful Christmas in the UK!!Lit Addicted Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307643382274474774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163886247083346971.post-25110477771886407842014-12-16T07:16:08.727+09:002014-12-16T07:16:08.727+09:00If everyone had stuck it out I think I might have ...If everyone had stuck it out I think I might have done it as well, but yeah. As soon as people started dropping out I could feel my brain going "YAY! Dropping out is an option!" hehe, so carrying on probably wouldn't have been that great! <br /><br />Thank you! :DJimjamjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249933703532348607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163886247083346971.post-14725952269654845852014-12-16T01:34:16.392+09:002014-12-16T01:34:16.392+09:00I've been defeated by Dickens as well...

I'm not particularly compelled to find out what happens either, due to lack of plot.<br /><br />I'm so excited for your trip to the UK! Happy holidays and bon voyage!Etudesquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106938419901219249noreply@blogger.com
