How come I read faster when I am almost finished with a book? Maybe it’s the thought of “I’m almost done” that pushes me. I’m about to finish J.K. Rowling’s The Casual Vacancy. I started it last year, in September, the day it was released. The genre is very different from those that I read; I only bought/read the book because it’s from Rowling. Anyway, there’s about 140 pages left, and the story’s gotten more interesting. I hope I can finish it this weekend. I’m 4 books behind the Goodreads challenge so I need to pick up the pace!
