This year Jillian at a Room of One’s Own has started reading some books that she didn’t finish because she got side-tracked. Now with 2011 coming to a close, she’s scrambling to read these half-started mighty tomes, or else feeling guilty and low because she didn’t finish what she started, by the end of the year.

But Jillian has declared that shame or guilt doesn’t belong in the world of literature!! So she’s hosting the Books I Started But Didn’t Finish Reading Challenge.

I didn’t get distracted and forget about books, but I did abandon a few. One of those, I was convinced to try again – but I haven’t yet. So I’m going to enter Jillian’s challenge and finish the The Magnificent Spinster by May Sarton.

Alas! Once again, this book goes unread. I DID NOT COMPLETE this book nor this challenge.
