  1. Interesting that you DNF'd 'The Debatable Land'. What was wrong with it?

    1. I'm not really sure. Sometimes I really like books that are part history, part personal experience, but this one just was not working for me. I was so interested in the historical parts but did not care at all about the author's experiences and such. Maybe I will go back to it later. Have you finished it?

    2. Haven't started it yet. His book on Paris was history plus him and a friend cycling around the city at various times. I know what you mean about a book being one thing or another (and I REALLY hate an author of a non-fiction book inserting themselves into the narrative unless it's done REALLY well). I do sometimes find myself thinking: Pick a LANE!

    3. That's what really did it for me here. I want the history before anything else with books like this. My issue is with the author making himself too much part of the story as well. I don't like it.

  2. I see you also went through a bit of a Titanic craze this week! I always do this time of the year. And now I have a few more books to add to my Titanic list. Have you read Kaspar, Prince of cats? I think you and Eleanor would like that book on the only cat to survive the Titanic. Have a look at it! (Review is on my blog if you want to read it!)

    Hope you are enjoying a good weekend!

    1. There always seem to be good books coming out about Titanic, year after year, so we will never be at a loss for what to read in April! We've not read Kaspar, but I will look for it. I did not even know there were cats aboard, since we always hear about the dogs who survived, or didn't.

  3. Wow! You really got rid of a lot this time! That's great!

    1. Most were intentional but some were by accident. I was using the app on my phone and I sort the books randomly at times to go through and remove those I am no longer interested in. Well, silly me sorted by number of pages, and saw that some books had very miniscule numbers for pages so I deleted them, only to realize when I came to a book that was clearly more substantial than 34 pages, that I had made a mistake. Luckily it was only a handful, so I am hoping that those books find their way back to me in the future!
