100% with you on the slow reading right now. I’m also trying to focus on only one book at a time, but we all know how THAT goes. (Badly. It goes badly.)

I think you — like me — imprinted on the Westing Game.

For SURE! It’s the closest thing I’ve ever read that compares to it and gave me that exact same feeling I had when I was a kid the first time I read The Westing Game!

I tend to be a fast reader, not quite a speed reader but not unusual to read two or three books a week depending on life. I think it's good to slow down from time to time and there is nothing wrong in that. We all need to do us. What whatever works is the right thing right now. I am in the midst of a Read-A-Thon so have been reading ALOT and within the categories chosen for it. I will be glad when it's done as there are so many other books I want to read LOL P.S. I just put Cartographers on my To Read List. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Totally agree! Before the pandemic, and even during the first year, I'd definitely get through 2-3 books a week, but lately it's just been a bit slower, which I'm learning to be okay with! I think it helps to talk about because if I'm feeling it, surely there must be others too!

I am about 60% through Cartographers right now, and it's all I can think about!!! All I want to do is get back to reading it!!! Patiently awaiting the end of the work day :)
