#bookaday June 4th Least favourite book by favourite author

 Whilst Sophie Kinsella IS my favourite author I do have many others I like.  One of whom is Terry Pratchett.  I am currently trying to read all of his books (pretty hard when he keeps releasing new ones) and last year was the turn of Jingo.

I just could not get into this book.  I don't know whether it was because I couldn't relate to the characters (but when can you with Pratchett's novels?)  or because the storyline was sooo busy.  Perhaps it was the theme of war that just doesn't appeal to me.  or maybe it was the long difficult names (they always put me off).   I did persevere and I did read it until the end but I simply did not like it.

I LOVE books, as you can probably guess from my Bookspot tab.

My bookshelf is overflowing, chick lit, romance, real life stories, hardback, paperback, factual...... and then there is Terry Pratchett's discworld series.
