It’s TTT time! As usual, if you’re curious about this, Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl hosts these weekly challenges (so, see her blog for more info). Today’s prompt is about the outrageous things I’ve done for books. I live kind of a boring life though and couldn’t really come up with anything noteworthy. Thus, I decided to look at my 2018 reading list to see what books I’ve already forgotten. Here is a list of books of which I barely (or not at all) remember the plot. You’ll see what it is that I do remember about the story and I have linked to the relevant Goodreads page so you can check it out for yourself.
The Girl Who Never Read Chomsky
I remember that this book felt way too long. I remember the story spanning many years following a girl throughout her life.
I remember that this book had a fox running over a bridge in London and a chance meeting of two people. They fell in love? but not sure if they stayed together or not.
I remember that I felt I would’ve done the plot differently. I remember not liking the flashbacks.
I remember this book feeling grey and depressing. Maybe something about the working man?
I remember something about being taken into a “club” and some sinister control over a marriage – like the couple had to follow certain rules etc.
I remember not liking this book. It felt like a formulaic YA novel.
I am sad to see this one on the list since I love Agatha Christie but I can’t recall the plot of this one at all.
Do you remember all the books you’ve recently read? I catch myself often wondering “did I read that already?”.
I often forget books I’ve read, especially if they weren’t very good. Ah no, why didn’t you like Red Queen? I was going to give it a read 😬

Honestly, I had to look up what I wrote in my review about it. It was formulaic with a predictable love triangle. Love triangles in particular are overdone.

Are you planning to reread any of these books? I forget some of the books I read, too.

I highly doubt that. Maybe the Agatha Christie book.

I read so many that I often forget books too. I don’t think I’ve read any of these books, but if I did, I probably wouldn’t remember… XD

I sometimes forget the names of some of the characters. I recently started a book journal where I write down quotes and reactions to things in the book, so hopefully that will help.

That was one of my motivations to actually write reviews on Goodreads and on my blog. I also have a journal for book quotes.

I read a lot, and I forget a lot. But I read Endless Night in 6th grade, which would have been about 1983, and I STILL remember it. Probably my first encounter with an unreliable narrator, and I was SHOOK.

Oh yeah, some books just stick with you!
