So, I’m not one who is great on poetry – I’ll be the first to admit that. This was the first of Blake that I have read and I didn’t care much for it. I found the style to be rather dull – a lot of rhyming; the kind of assignments one might get in a course. I like it to be a bit more free, I think.

I felt like I was missing what was so great of these, but with poetry – which has been hit and miss for me – I feel I can just say ‘This one is not for me’ and move on to the next.

    All this inclusion of poetry in the LBC series is the main reason I know I’ll never bother reading it. I’ve learned that poetry just doesn’t work for me and I don’t have the patience to deal with it.

      Very understandable, I have learned through reading this series, that it is not for me either.

After a day of work, Marjolein likes to wind down with a book or two, or five! Unapologetic reader of at the very least three books at any given time, she apparently is unable to settle on a favorite genre.

She might pause her audiobook just long enough to discuss books online.
