Ah yes, I know that feeling that one wants to finish a book..
I finished three more books since my last post, Percy Jackson 2, the Swedish book and another one I got through bookbub a while back. I am at 11 books in total for this year. Not bad, considering only half of the year is over :)

I also read another book, by Anyta Sunday who is turning out to be my favourite romance author. I finished two of hers in a row XD Now I'm reading one by LJ Ross, the first in her DCI Ryan mysteries, which I wanted to try out for a while.
I accidentally activated my Amazon Prime free trial so I've been using Amazon Reads. That's how I got this book. It's quite good though so I'm worried I will end up buying all the rest of the series, there are quite a few now XD

I'm still at 1 of 24 planned books
we're starting a long book cycle in a company, though, so maybe that'll motivate me. but last time I tried reading a cycle together with other people, I dnfed it at the beginning of book one

Yeah when it goes "would you like to upgrade to Prime to have it arrive tomorrow?" I clicked yes when I meant no XD I could cancel it I guess but I wanted to take advantage of the quick delivery when I thought about it.

Is the Victorian Fairy Tale Book much like the Katherine Briggs' Dictionary of British Folk-Tales?

It's kind of bad, I ordered stuff I don't even need XD I haven't been shopping in ages though so it seems okay.
I am super enjoying this book, the more I get into it the more I like it. Although it does do one thing I don't like: the viewpoint (third person) switches between characters all the time, including within the same chapter. It can even be paragraph to paragraph. I prefer when things are told from one person per chapter at least.
