– The Rejectionist: Special Guest Post: Garland Grey, Like The Rejectionist, is Not Currently Reading Freedom

reading books i don't like
I’m still only somewhere around 100 pages of The Crimson Rooms. I’m not sure how this is possible? Wasn’t I at 100 pages during yesterday morning’s bus ride?
This brisk romantic mystery, set in post-WWI London, begins with a situation worthy of E.M. Forster as Evelyn Gifford and her family receive a visit from a nurse and a young boy who claim to be the wartime lover...

I think this is my fav:

What I read when I don't feel like reading
