January's reading recap

So this is normally when I would give you a rundown of what I read this month. You know, books. Pages. What was good. What books weren't worth the time.

The recap for the month of January is short. Here it is...

....

Yup. Nothing. I didn't finish a single book in January. It's not because I didn't try though. I spent all month reading. It's just the book I chose to read? It's super thick. And the print? It's tiny. So it takes forever to read even 10 pages.

I know you're probably thinking, what the heck are you reading?

After looking at it sitting on my shelf, unread, for the past two years, I decided to dive into "Gone With the Wind" to start the new year. At 1,024 pages, I knew it would be a tough task to finish the entire thing before the end of January. And I was right. I'm only on page 737 and at this point, I still haven't gotten to the famous line Rhett Butler utters, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." I've been waiting and waiting for it to come up. And last night those hopes were somewhat dashed when a friend of mine told me it wasn't even in the book, that it was just added to the movie.

Hmmmm.

Here's hoping I finish Scarlett O'Hara's story soon. Because it's taken me a long time already. And I really want to find out if Rhett does indeed utter that phrase or if it was just an add in for the movie. And I can't have a February recap that mimics this one because two months in a row with no finished books? Not allowed.
