The Idiot Plot


Found this from a Knowable article when I was facebooking.  This is the first time I encountered this term but I have read many a romance novels that has exactly this--The Idiot Plot.  Many books, in particular romance ones, could have easily ended in Chapter 2 or 3 if both characters would've just talked to each other.  Sometimes it makes me want to tear my hair out.

Book Haul


It's been months since I last read a book.  It's sooo not me.  I am always reading a book.  Maybe I put too much pressure on reaching a target number of books to read per year.. maybe I just couldn't connect with any of the new books I found.. maybe life just happened.. I don't know.. But I figured, I'll just go with the flow and I'll eventually want to start to read again.

And so today, for some reason, I wondered if any of my favorite authors have new books published.  So I checked.  Lo and behold! New books from J. D. Robb, Sophie Kinsella, Gillian Flynn, William Landay, Liane Moriarty and I even managed to find copies of Anna David's book which I have been looking for since forever!

I hope I get my reading groove back on.  We'll see in a couple of days.
