I think if I could find an audiobook copy at one of my libraries, I would continue this book. I am a fan of Sam Harris, but if I have to physically read this book, I don’t think I’m going to be able to finish it.

My hold ran out, I will definitely get back to reading this one sometime in the future. 
The Duke Next Door by Celeste Bradley

I just can’t get past the secret reveal at the start of the book. To have that happen really put me off continuing, even though I really like the writing style of this author. It does bum me out a bit because last year I did purchase this book (although from a used book charity sale). I think the only plus side here is that I have one less book on my physical TBR. 
Consider Me by Becka Mack

Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
I buckled and started to read this after hearing people rave about it on TikTok and Instagram. I just didn’t click with this after 50 something pages. I think I would have continued if this wasn’t over 500 pages. I also don’t like a cocksure hero at the best of times, but a contemporary about hockey players isn’t it for me; especially in light of recent developments in the junior world hockey sexual assault allegations.
