Yep, after my 18 days off I'm back in the office. I liked being on holidays! Getting gastro on the weekend did give me loads of time to read, so that's a bonus.
I'm reading a (sort of) review copy of Songs by Honeybird. What makes it a "sort of" review book? Well, NetGalley gave me a copy, but the formatting was all out, so after the pub date I bought a copy. Not how this is meant to work, but it sounded interesting. So far, and I'm only 10 percent into it, I'm really enjoying it.
Here's the blurb:
Atlanta couple Ben and Nina plan to move in together, but their relationship unravels when Ben dismisses Nina’s surprising claim that her dog can talk. Songs By Honeybird follows the pair as they move on without each other. Doctoral candidate Ben dives into research on the tragic story of Honeybird, the South’s first integrated rock band, while spiritual savant Nina searches for the elusive truth about her father’s death.
Will the buried secrets of the past bring Ben and Nina back together—or send them down entirely new paths?
I will, of course, do a full review once I am further into it.
Actually, my current knitting project is also barely begun. it's a camping hat for Leon, but I had some trouble with the colourwork (it was charted from left to right?? Also, I can't count) so I had to rip it back to the start of the colourwork. Anyway, it's a hat, so no big deal!
And that's what I'm knitting and reading right now. in reading and knitting. To read my all my book reviews, and to see everything I knit, you can find me on Ravelry as Sharondoubleknit and on GoodReads as Sharondblk.
I'm joining in with Kat from As Kat Knits for Unravelled Wednesday and Kat from the Bookdate for It's Monday, What Are You Reading. Thanks Kat and Kat for hosting these linkups.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who gets horribly formatted books from NetGalley upon occasion. I've gotten them were letters are left out of words. And it's always the same letters missing. But it makes the book unreadable. Yep, I'll buy the book when that happens.
ReplyDeleteGlad it's not just me!
DeleteI've had to do that with Netgalley books before!
ReplyDeleteVery, very infrequently I've received unreadable books from NetGalley too. I haven't ever bought the book to actually read it though. There are too many other books to choose from and my TBR pile rivals Mount Everest. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt’s so frustrating when ARCs are so badly formatted!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
I've had to do that with a Net Galley book before as well. Have a great week!
