thelibraniniquityFor context, I currently am on holiday in deepest darkest Cornwall. My phone has no signal and it being a holiday, laziness is contagious. So I have been reading.
I only read the blurb of this before downloading the ebook because it sounded interesting. And then I read it in its entirety this morning. I found it on my flashdrive while looking for something else, and it turns out that Windows 10's Internet Explorer thing can open ebook files.
The short description is that it's about a woman who is ripped away from her idyllic life with her husband and daughters and told by her captors that her entire life is a lie. I liked that I found out everything as the book unfolded as I usually lookup reviews before reading. Totally worth not doing that this time.
I finally FINALLY finished "It". I have owned this book for at least 12 years and never got around to reading it because it's so bloody long. I only made the effort this year because a) there's a movie remake coming out this year that I'd quite like to go and see (and book always precedes movie) and b) bingo card.
I started the book in maybe February? Ploughed through it for a couple of months and then put it down again until this week. I honestly wasn't expecting to read the final 400 pages in 2 days but here we are! I'm still not sure how I feel about the climax, but it was still a hell of a ride.
The book bingo card has duly been updated!
