I know that many book bloggers around the World Wide Web tend to set themselves mini readathons if they feel like they are getting a little bit behind with their reading. I seem to have done the same thing with jigsaw puzzles! From Sunday night, October 23rd to Tuesday night, October 25th, I hosted my own personal 'Puzzle-a-Thon'. I took two days off from reading Lisey's Story: A Novel by Stephen King and focused solely on doing jigsaw puzzles. I was actually able to finish a total of nine jigsaw puzzles out of the box of twelve, although I have also started doing a tenth one.
To be perfectly honest, I've had to do something that I very rarely have ever done. There have been a few scenes in Lisey's Story: A Novel by Stephen King that have caused me to feel moments of what Mareena calls 'the cringing skin crawls'. Stephen King is a great writer, don't get me wrong, but he seems to be extraordinarily descriptive of certain scenes. I really don't like having to skip parts of the book while I'm reading, but I have found that I've had to do exactly that whenever I sense that I'm possibly getting close to a scene that might give me an attack of 'the cringing skin crawls' - lol!!!
As regards my own reading, I actually finished reading Lying Awake: A Novel by Mark Salzman on Tuesday, October 18th! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and thought it was such a delightful little story. On Monday, October 17th, Lisey's Story: A Novel by Stephen King arrived in the mail. Apparently, Mareena requested the book for me as a 'just because' gift for October; and I started reading it on Tuesday, October 18th!
Despite my getting occasional moments of 'the cringing skin crawls', I'm actually really enjoying reading Lisey's Story: A Novel by Stephen King. In my opinion, Stephen King has an incredible imagination and the plot itself is very intriguing. According to Goodreads - as of today, Wednesday, October 26th - I've read 386 pages out of 513; or approximately 75 percent of the story. I don't think that I have that much left to read; so it shouldn't take me that much longer.

Hello and welcome to my blog. I'm a newbie as far as book blogging goes, having been blogging at my daughter's blog for only about two and a half years. Now it's time for me to get my feet wet on my own. Please be gentle with this blogger. Love to hear from you all. Have a great day! :)
