I ended up talking myself into DNFing a book in a series where I had really enjoyed the first book and was proud of myself. It's been such a relief not to have to pick that book up anymore! Nachos are always a good thing and I love seeing deer on any outdoor outing.

I've had a copy staring at me for a while, but seeing as I didn't care for The Book Thief, either, I'm starting to think I should just give it to someone else who might enjoy it, haha. I'm really curious about The Scorpion Races, too, it's one I've been meaning to read for years. I would be so happy to see deers while I'm out--we get lots of squirrels near my apartment, but that's about the extent of the wildlife we get, haha. Hulu is nice to have! If you like animated movies and haven't seen it, The Missing Link is a really cute adventure/explorer one that I definitely recommend. :)Jordan @ForeverLostinLiteraturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231807884697678173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-1329957963493131072020-05-11T12:58:20.941-06:002020-05-11T12:58:20.941-06:00I haven't read anything by Markus Zakus so bum...I haven't read anything by Markus Zakus so bummer that your favorite churned out a dud.

My mom has a cute little squirrel family living in one of her trees and we were having fun watching them yesterday, playing around. The momma squirrel was anxiously watching from her "doorway".

I had been a little iffy about it because well, it's huge and the premise underwhelms me, but now that you say it's a slog I am REALLY not thrilled hah. I liked The Scorpio Races. Didn't love, but liked. Which I think places me in the minority because most people freaking adore it so I hope you end up being one of them! Also YAY NACHOS I love them so much now I want nachos.

Some books turn out to be worth reading in the end, and it makes it mostly worth it. Other times, not so much. <br /><br />Yay for nachos! I hope your mother enjoys her Mother's Day present. I got my mother and mother-in-law flowers that were delivered yesterday. Maybe not the most original gift, but they really do not need anything, and it was a way to support local businesses in the cities where they live. <br /><br />I hope you have a good week.

I enjoyed The Scorpio Races - the audio version is one of the books I have vividly remembered from last year. I think the worldbuilding is fabulous and I love the horses and the writing about the island - some of the protagonists, not so much... I look forward to hearing your views on it.
