[Laura]

I couldn't finish The Brothers Karamazov ...I wasted 15 days reading only six chapters of Part III and I decided to end the misery.

February Build Your Own Challenge- read books from my TBR pile including my book club selection.

1 / 2 completed

1. One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean completed 2/5
2. The Brothers Karamazov (Pt. III & IV) by Fyodor Dostoevsky ^


^ Book club selection

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I hate it when that happens, Laura!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

But... you fought the good fight! LOL!

[Laura]

Honestly, this is a first...I've always made myself finish a book I had started in the past, but I think the number of pages left to read was the final straw because I still had about 600 left. I've been gazing longingly at my TBR pile (so many new releases!) but I wasn't allowing myself to read anything else until Dostoevsky was finished. But why? Why am I reading something I don't like and I'm bored with it? I hated doing it for school so why am I forcing myself now.

Tirade complete. :P

Life is waaaaaaaaay to short to spend a moment reading something you don't enjoy - especially voluntarily!

Tirade anytime, hon!

[Lisa Kay]

Well, Laura, I guess that brings a whole new meaning to, "Giving it the old college try." Ugh. You are a better woman than I; I wouldn't have even attempted that one.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Thanks, Dhestiny!

[Lisa Kay]

Congrats, Lady D. How was your B-Day? Did you do anything special?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Thanks, Lisa Kay. I had a quiet birthday. We went to see Jack The Giant Slayer and went to dinner and watched Total Recall later. Most of my friends turned 40 over the past years or will this year, and I was thinking we could have a big joint party for all us at that point.

[Lisa Kay]

Oh, that sounds fun. Did you see Jack, the Giant Slayer in 3D?
