I probably would've discarded a book like that long before the 75% mark, I just don't have the perseverance. I hadn't heard of Mirror Image before, but I definitely won't be looking for it now!

I decided to read The Fireman next so it's going to be an excellent week.<br /><br />Tennis matches are so long! Finals will go as long as 5 hours. Back in the day I remember players having to have medical attention as the matches would end sometimes, but the players have a lot more endurance these days. It's still bad sometimes. I remember an instance in the last few years they had to get the players chairs to sit in during the award ceremony because the guys were holding themselves up by the tennis net.<br /><br />Twitter is doing some beta testing during the US Open for monetizing twitter. That might be some of what you are seeing.Jen | Book Denhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512363115012929445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-84362344003902629532016-09-05T17:26:37.823-05:002016-09-05T17:26:37.823-05:00A good Netflix binge is the best!

The quiet feel of the narrative stuck with me, and the image of this story seemed like it would have been so unique when first published. I may have to re-read it to see if it would still sit well with me today.<br /><br />I've been all over Netflix and Amazon Prime for the longest time, but am now diving into some vintage and noir films and TV series.

It has always stuck with me and I might need to try and read it again since it has been a while since I read it. <br />Sorry the other two didn't work for you but I have been DNF a lot of books this month, just can't seem to find anything that grabs my full attention. The book I am currently reading seems to be pretty good at the moment so I am hopeful.<br />Netflix seems to be distracting me this weekend.

With extra traveling this week and a book that is okay but not amazing, my reading has really slowed down.
