Day 4: Book Flinging

15 Day Book Blogging Challenge from Good Books, Good Wine

What's the last book you flung across the room?

For starters, I don't throw books. I am anal about the condition of my books, but I really wanted to throw The Dovekeepers out the window and into a shredder quite a few times while reading it, which is kind of funny because I actually really like the book. I think if I had read it on my own instead of for my book club though, I would have dropped it less than half way through the first story. I know that's how it was back then, but it drove me nuts how the women were treated as trash and unclean. I was so happy when the third story came around. Finally a woman that wouldn't conform with society!

  1. Ha, I'm also anal about my books! Plus I read many on my Kindle so I'm not throwing that. ;-) I listed a few that I was disappointed by on my blog!

    1. I read a lot on my Nook too. I don't have the money to replace it right now if it breaks, so I'm almost more careful with it than my books right now. I can't imagine what's I'd do if I threw that!

  2. Never heard of this book but it certainly sounds intriguing.

    1. If you like these books, then check out the Ladies & Literature book group on Goodreads. That's where I discovered them. And the book discussions are usually a lot of fun.
