I did it recently even though I do keep records! I forgot to consult the list before I got the book!

I will start a book and after a bit, I will think, "this feels familiar" but since I read a lot of mysteries and often can't remember "who done it", I end up skimming through it again to discover the ending!

The second week it was still raining, the last book was one I’d already read, no chance of buying more and no tv in the holiday home. Now I keep a record of my reading though occasionally I buy the same book again in a charity shop.Jennyffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133651986287619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-20984869578746169272021-05-12T22:26:43.045-04:002021-05-12T22:26:43.045-04:00I've done that.

I've only read one by Amy Tan (more than 25 years ago...) and even though I don't remember any details about it, I know I enjoyed it. Perhaps you might enjoy a re-read?
