Book club

Shawshank, January 17, 2021January 17, 2021

I admit, I’m in a reading slump. The last two books I’ve started to read, didn’t click with me. They’re back on the shelf. I will revisit them at a later time, I promise. I get out of work, and I’m mentally exhausted. I don’t have the attention span to read. In the evenings after dinner, I’ve been watching an episode of Bridgerton as a way to relax before my nightly call with Crystal. The bad thing – I’m out of episodes. So now I have to find another show. But, if I can’t, I can try reading at night to relax.

I haven’t experienced a reading slump in years. How does one get out of a slump? I don’t have any experience in reading slumps at all. Do I just try and power through it?

So the book for the Lockup Library Book Club, is The Arctic Fury by Greer MacAllister.

I picked this up a couple of weeks ago when I went to BigCity. It looks very interesting. In 1850s Boston, adventurer Virginia Reeve is summoned by Lady Jane Franklin, who asks Virginia to lead a women’s expedition to the Arctic in order to find out what happened to her husband, Sir John Franklin, who disappeared there with his crew.

I love books set around this time. I don’t know why, it just seems like the perfect time. Give me a story from the late 1700s/1800s and I am a happy camper. Victorian England? OMG, yes please.

I hope this one helps me out of my slump. If it doesn’t, I don’t know what I’m going to do.
