Now you know why I don't even bother making a resolution!<br /><br />I too hate to give up on a book and will slog on to the bitter end, even if it is pretty dire. I don't think there has been a book that I actually didn't finish, which is really sad and pathetic when you think of all the great books I could have been reading and enjoying!<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-87987593862611556752012-01-03T14:50:36.480-05:002012-01-03T14:50:36.480-05:00I'm laughing at your last words.

One one hand I know life is short so why waste on something you don't like?

I also 'thought' I would try not to buy new books for a while.

The book was OK, but was not inspired at all by the protagonist. She was pretty bland, and you are right, Iceland does not play a big enough part in the thing. This year, I am going to be doing a re-read of "Smilla's Sense of Snow", which is all about Iceland. We will see how it stands up after having read it years ago.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-27922343568643124392012-01-02T10:43:27.269-05:002012-01-02T10:43:27.269-05:00I have a lot of trouble giving up on a book, too, ...I have a lot of trouble giving up on a book, too, and I'm not sure why.

The Iceland location is appealing to me. Don't know much about Iceland, other than volcanoes and cold. <br /><br />As to your resolution. Well, I have the same one. It's a process. Maybe if it's just being more thoughtful about what we do buy. I usually end up going on kind of binges. I'm going to attempt to rein it in anyway. Good luck to you in that regard. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-23595361983346632822012-01-02T08:04:31.610-05:002012-01-02T08:04:31.610-05:00You outdid yourself! 3 in one day?
