SO annoying. I’ve done it again!
A UPS truck went by in one direction, an Amazon one passed the other way. Cold weather, 144 units full of mostly retired folks, and I’m sure we’re a steady source of business for the delivery guys. The whole time I was out, I was visualizing tucking myself in with a blanket and my new library book that I was already enjoying immensely. I gathered the mail – new New Yorker, yay! – and headed home.
Tucked in as planned, I read two pages and realized what I’d been fearing. I’ve read this before, dammit!
Been there. Done that. More often than I care to admit.
ReplyDeleteOh - join the club! I read on Kindle and luckily when buy a new book, it tells me if I already have it. When I look to see if I read it and if it says "yes" I sometimes start to reread and don't remember it.
ReplyDeleteI do it all the time, but I have decided to just enjoy the second read, and I do. :-)
ReplyDeleteI actually thought I'd do that, too, but the more I read, the more I remembered - even the ending!
DeletePerhaps it's good enough for a second read?
ReplyDeleteAt least with my ebooks Amazon tells me if I already own the book...and usually my Kindle tells me if I have read it.
ReplyDeleteWill you read it anyway. We can re-watch mysteries, sometimes more than once, but I haven’t re-read books.
