What I Just Finished Reading
I finished The Friend by Sigrid Nunez at least (it wasn't very long), but I didn't like it. It continued to feature the dog far too little, had some strange chapter near the end (but not at the end) that seemed to imply actually nothing in the rest of the book was reality, with the suicide in that chapter only being an attempt that the narrator used to start these endless musings about the unsympathetic dead writer and the Great Dane a Dachshund, only to go back to the narrative to show the dog near his death from old age, though not outright dying. It still hits you in the tender place of pet euthanasia feelings.
I haven't finished any of the other books. *sigh*
What I'm Reading Now
Still stuck in The Bride Test by Helen Hoang, but I haven't started anything else.
What I'm Reading Next
In addition to the books I mentioned last week, I also got the second of Naomi Novik's Scholomance series, that's out now.
