I finished Heartsong by TJ Klune and Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle
I DNF'd Less by Andrew Sean Greer. I just... I can't. This was a bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winner?
I've started Gideon the Ninth and hope to finally get into that, but there is also the Trans Read-a-thon this month and I am hoping to do some of that. I need to re-read Dead Collections for one book club, so that will be one book, and shouldn't take me long.
I tried to read Gideon the Ninth before, but something derailed me. I didn't mean to DNF, something came up and meant to only take a break. I really don't want that to happen again or it will get really hard for me to restart it again. But, I should be able to read it before the read-a-thon starts
I remember reading Less and being wildly underwhelmed for the first third? I think, and then suddenly realising I was massively invested and not being able to work out when it happened.
I think about 20%. I don't know for sure because my kindle is having a strange syncing problem and thinks I didn't read any of it or have read some books I definitely did. Fun!
I really want to get my bookclub reads read, so I did give it a solid try. It's possible some problems I have with it might be resolved by plot revelations later on, but some things about the book were actively annoying me.

PS I have never heard of LibraryThing before and you just put me on! I think I'll set myself up an account on there soon, thanks for sharing it!
