I finished 'Eleanor Oliphant' and loved it. Best book I've read in ages. Now I'm reading 'The Year of Less' by Cait Flanders. I'm not thrilled by it so far, but I'm only a couple of chapters in.
"I know you're sad, so I won't tell you to have a good day. Instead, I advise you to simply have a day.
Stay alive, feed yourself well, wear comfortable clothes, and don't give up on yourself just yet.
It'll get better. Until then, have a day."
Maybe the book you're reading now isn't living up to the Eleanor Oliphant experience. Hope it gets better or you can find something else interesting to read.
I have plenty of time to read. I usually go somewhere on the bus most days and read then, and do maybe an hour of reading in the evening too.
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
I finished it when I was out and had my kindle with me but wanted to read a real book so I started reading Brief Horrible Moments - Marko Pandza since it is only one sentence horror stories so I could have something to read when I was out but can finish it quickly and get onto another book.

I'm still halfway through 'The Year of Less' but it's really boring. I do want to finish it and will keep reading, but I'm now also reading 'Wild' by Cheryl Strayed, which I'm loving so far.

3 stars (liked it). I liked reading it but didn't understand a lot of what was going on. Plus the characters alternated between using their first names and their surnames which made it difficult to remember who was who. I probably would have given it 2.5 stars overall.

i'm also going to get "After Anna" after i'm nearly done
I don't know how to describe the book i'm reading, but it's worth checking out
Are you enjoying it? I LOVED it. It was one of those books I was sad to finish because even if I read it again it wouldn't be the same because I'd know the ending! I had certain issues with it but I could forgive them because it was such a good read.

I have that on my Kindle but haven't read it yet. Please let me know what you think of it when you finish.

I'm 104 pages in and persevering. I'm finding it a bit repetitive in places so far but I'm interested in seeing what is going to happen. Plus since you LOVED it, I will definitely keep going.

I really didn't like After Anna, I found it really irritating!
