I am quite familiar with this dilemma. What book are you trying to get through?

It was Oscar & Lucinda by Peter Carey. I got there in the end, and I actually found it to be quit enjoyable by the time I was done – it was definitely worth the effort!

I just got a copy of King’s new book The Wind Through the Keyhole and I am finding it hard to not skip everything else I have on my shelf to start it straight away 😛

That’s the Stephen King book that I have waiting for me. I absolutely LOVE The Dark Tower series of books so I am really glad that there is another book to add to it. I think I might read it after the next book I read – it’s been staring at me for weeks begging me to read it. It’s getting hard to resist!

Wow, you have some great books to read there! I think if you are struggling with your current book, you should put it aside and read something else. Or maybe just skip ahead and see if it gets and better.

I wish I could just put it aside, but whenever I do that then go back to read it later, I’ve forgotten what has already happened. And I know it won’t get better because I was silly and watched the film adaptation of the book over the weekend, so now I know how it will end – it’s not a happy ending either.

Oooh, I LOVE Magician, and am currently reading The Fault In Our Stars and loving that, too!

I’m looking forward to reading Magician. It’s one of those books I’ve been picking up in the shop for years, but never buying it.
I had never heard of The Fault In Our Stars until a few months ago. Dymocks had a competition on for their members to win a copy of this book, I’d never heard of it but entered because I like free stuff. Lo and behold I won and have now heard amazing things about this book so I can’t wait to read it.

Ahhh cool! Magician is great, as are the next two books in that series, Silverthorn and A Darkness At Sethanon. I wouldn’t read anything else after those three books though, he’s written dozens but they get very samey very quickly.
I actually think The Fault In Our Stars is only a few months old? Think it’s this year it was released, or very late last year maybe? But that is awesome you won it – I’m halfway through, and am really in love with this book! 😀

I think I might read The Fault In Our Stars next. I’m reading Oscar and Lucinda by Peter Carey at the moment and it’s dragging on a bit, so I think I need to read a shorter book to get my reading mojo back!
