Booking Through Thursday (39)

in Memes & Miscellany

After taking a bit of a break from BTT, I couldn’t resist today’s fun question:

What’s the most enjoyable, most fun, most just-darn-entertaining book you’ve read recently?

I, like any bibliophile, have a couple of responses to this apparently simple question. I just read and really enjoyed And Only To Deceive, by Tasha Alexander. It’s a fun historical fiction book that takes place in Victorian England. It was mostly a popcorn-type book, with relatively little substance, but I enjoyed the experience and the mystery.

I also recently read Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. This book was surprisingly entertaining, with a lot of depth to boot. And, it’s about books!

This question also made me reflect on my reading. I rarely left myself read the just plain darn entertaining books. I’m always reading for challenges and blog tours, which are great, but I need to remember to just pick up a book because I feel like it every once in a while.

I love Tasha Alexander!! Have you read the others yet? Tears of Pearl just came out– it’s the 4th!

Since I’ve started blogging, I’ve kind of run into the same problem ie reading books I feel I need to rather then just picking up a book on a whim. I need to just go for it every so often because it can break up the monotony.

Yep, I agree. We need to read book sometimes just for the fun factor!

You’re completely right that we need to remember to pick up a book just for the fun of it sometimes! :)
