There's a lot I could write about, but it's been a while since I have talked about what I am reading. I have a couple of book reviews to post, that I think I'll post during this week. I have been in a weird reading place at the moment, I am very busy and very tired so I don't have as much brain power and time as usual. I find myself craving the escape that reading provides me, but I can't always get it, plus I am not that excited about any book at the moment. I am not fully in a reading slump, but I don't know how to describe this situation. The two books I have been reading at the moment are The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, a book that has been on my shelves for years. I am really enjoying it, and I am pleased because for some reasons I had pictured it as a heavier written book, when in fact it flows amazingly. The problem with it is that I really want to take my time with this book to annotate it (as I have been annotating the other dystopic books I read this year), so I don't pick it up as often as I'd like, because as I said I tend to be very low on energy in my free time. The other book I have been slowly getting through is Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, I am listening to the audiobook, so it's been great to avoid looking at screens all day. The problem I am having with this book is that I am not really getting into the story at the moment, it's a urban fantasy which isn't my preferred type of fantasy so that's probably a reason. I will surely continue it as the audiobook is very well done, and as I said it's been keeping me company in this weird moment of my life. I just doubt it will get into my favourite Gaiman books, but who knows I might change my opnion completly by the end.
