One year, I decided to read all those unread books that were on my shelves before I got anything new. I think I read half of them before giving up in defeat and getting a Jim Butcher novel as an antidote. :-)<br /><br />Oh, and happy birthday!Cherylhttp://tembrooke.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-52782595541205283522013-03-05T16:07:09.329+00:002013-03-05T16:07:09.329+00:00Many happy returns of the day, Niall!

I never made it all the way through either. How that book won... <br /><br />Anyway, congratulations on your decision to move on!

I've had a...First of all, Happy Birthday Sir! <br /><br />I've had a similar experience with Blackout and All Clear. I read the first bit a couple years back and was sorta on the fence about it. But I figured All Clear would *ahem* clear things up, and make the overall experience a mark in the "win" column. The thing is, I've never had the urge to dig into All Clear. Sure, I don't own a copy of it, but I've passed it by time and again on the shelves at used book shops, and I've never felt the urge to pick it up. At this point, I don't think I ever will.<br /><br />Why is it so hard to move on from a book/series sometimes?Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14261179296556524707noreply@blogger.com
