Image by kennymaticI'm so depressed right now. *sob*
My last week in reading was the major suckage. It seems like ever since Going Too Far, I can't finish anything.
It all started with Tigers and Devils, which I was reading for M/M Month. This book is about an Australian Football player and an "artsy wanker" who fall in love. I'd heard a lot of good things about this book, but to me it was just boring. The writing was decent, but the actual love story was hi-LARiously conventional. Also, am I the only one who has trouble picturing an artsy wanker as a football fan? Because I've known a few artsy wankers in my time, and a-none of them were sports fanatics. Of any sort. Just saying.
I finally gave up on Practice Makes Perfect by Julie James. It took me almost three weeks to hit the hundred page mark, and once I did, I realized I really didn't give a crap about the characters. Maybe I would have if it didn't take me forever to read it, who knows.
I also decided to eShelve my eBook, Blood Noir by Jesse Fox. This is another M/M Month book. I wouldn't call it good, per se, but it was quite enjoyable. However, I had noooo idea where the story was going, and the endless banter between one of the characters (gay) and a side character (straight, as mentioned numerous times--methinks he doth protest too much?) was getting annoying. What really put me over the edge, though, was that Stanza, my eReader program, completely erased the formatting for the book! I never knew not having paragraphs could be so aggravating. Does anyone know how to fix this? Because I'm not sure I can read another book like that unless it's really short.
In case you think my bad reading streak is the books' fault, let me assure you that I don't think so. I haven't even been able to concentrate on blog reading lately. It almost feels like I've lost all desire to read.
This is terrible. I don't even know who am if I don't read! Seriously, people, I feel like I'm going through a crisis. And I'm not entirely sure what, or if, I'll be reading when I get out of it. :(
