I finished Gwendolen. It was pretty stinky. Now I am reaing The Victorian Fairy Tale Book. It's pretty thick with small print, so I think I will be working on it for a long time.

I finished the book I was reading, which was by Graham Norton (if you don't know him, he's a celebrity here with his own chat show and he was an actor/comedian for a short while). Predictably, it was just okay. He's an intelligent enough man but just made a pretty flat, predictable story when trying to write a thriller.
Now I'm moving on to the most recent Murakami, Killing Commendatore. He's my favourite writer but I'm a bit nervous because it had a low rating on goodreads. A lot of the reviews also said that they didn't like 1Q84 either, however, and I did really like that book, so I'm hoping I will still enjoy this one as well.

Holding my thumbs for you, jacob, that it turns out to be better than said in the reviews :)!
I was reading "Off Leash" on my phone, but I dropped it. I think that's the second book ever which I started and did not finish (first one being Moby Dick). It is horrible.

I'm still working on The Victorian Fairy Tale Book. I like it, but I don't love it, and the print is small, so it's taking me a long time.

I had it on my to-read list because the concept seemed interesting but I'm not sure anymore
