Looking Ahead – The Goldfinch

By Dan Cristelli

Let’s jump in to the next look ahead where I’ll be updating you on the book I’m currently reading, and answering these questions about the next book on the list:

  1. Why did I buy this book?
  2. Why haven’t I read this book?
  3. How am I feeling about jumping in to this book?

Currently Reading: Angel Station by Walter Jon Williams.

My Progress: I’ve actually finished already, and this post is a little late. Oops.

Up Next: The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, purchased on 10/25/2017.

Why I Purchased This Book: I think my therapist recommended this book…or someone else. Either way, I know it came highly recommended – so when it went on sale I jumped.

Why I Haven’t Read This Book: Intimidation – it’s not short, it doesn’t fall into my usual genres, and I find that sometimes that combination spells disaster.

How Am I Feeling About Reading This Book: Still intimidated? We’ll see. It’s going to be a lengthy read, but maybe I’ll be able to breeze through.
