I also never DNF and force myself to make time to read books even if they're not really working for me, so I don't get into picking books up and putting them down again. I read what's next on the schedule and get through it for better or worse and then on to the next one! It's not for everyone, but it works well for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161977012468397219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891836148334813580.post-84062368357355229872018-08-22T14:17:49.853-07:002018-08-22T14:17:49.853-07:00Station Eleven is wonderful, and I think the book ...Station Eleven is wonderful, and I think the book is right up there with the movie for Stardust (which I also liked)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161977012468397219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891836148334813580.post-76188050123413523272018-08-22T04:24:32.357-07:002018-08-22T04:24:32.357-07:00You don't get into reading slumps?!!

I think it's a genre book that can be appreciated both by people who do and who don't actually read the genre because it's so elegantly done.
