Swapping Places

Just writing to note that I'm switching the ETAs for the review of Shipwreck Lane and the second travel blog on Boston. I'm planning to work on the latter within the next couple weeks and I'm aiming for mid to late-November to have the post up on the blog. 

Ideally, the book review will be for December, but it's been a challenging read. There's work and the usual excuses that I mention every time this happens, and while I've made decent progress on the book itself, it's been difficult to pick it up.

Admittedly, a part of the challenge is the it's the print copy. I'm not afraid to share online that I'm reading it, but I'd probably get strange looks at the local Starbucks or on a bus ride somewhere. That's minor though...

I briefly mentioned this on a Mastodon post with my Friday reads for October—more or less the month's reading list—but the writing makes it a rough ride at times. The comedic and narrative hooks also seemed off to me at times resulting it weird shifts in tone.

The book may be more or less "not for me" at this point, but I do plan on finishing it and reviewing it though. (No, it won't be like a Kermode-ian rant.)

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!
