Ugh... been through 5 books now and they're all super cheesey, badly written or not interesting. (groan) 😫😞☹️

Lova I did that recently... I started wondering if the books were really that bad or if I just had super high expectations. 🤔 7y

TheLibrarian Hopefully your next one is good! 7y

LoverofLit I had a rub of this a little while back but my last three have been super successful again so I feel your pain! 7y

Bookdragon69 I‘m in the same predicament. 😫 Hoping the one I just started is good. 7y

mrozzz After so many bad ones it‘s easy to build up your expectations with the hope that the next one HAS to be the one to get you out of your slump... hoping you find a good one SOON 🤞🏻 7y

MrsSpencer Read New Kings of Tomorrow By JM Clark, hopefully it will get you out of the one star funk. I‘ve abandoned 2 books already this month 😔 7y

pan

This book was riddled with grammatical errors. The narrator is meant to be a protector of Savannah but speaks like someone who's visited the city maybe once. The fight scenes were good, and the plot wasn't bad. I could have done without the cliche vampire romance vibe.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I completely understand, I gave it a like...I could see the potential, but it just didn't grab me the way it should have. 8y

DitrieMarieBowie @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I agree; the potential is definitely there. The action scenes were the main reason I didn't just bail. She does a pretty good fight scene. 8y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I liked the world building as far as the backstory and powers, once they got to that part...it just took a long time to get there. I'll probably try the second one, just not right away. 8y

ThomasHewlett It's such a disruption of the flow when an author clearly doesn't know the city... 8y

Does anybody else get frustrated by poorly edited books? (This is at least the third major grammatical error I've spotted in this book today.)

BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes! If the errors become too numerous, I'll bail. 9y

Chessa I almost had to bail on a favorite series because the author kept giving characters a wide "birth." ARRRGGGHH! 9y

DitrieMarieBowie @Chessa maybe their mothers had wide hips? 9y

Couldn't find any Neil Gaiman on the shelf I'm working through, so this was next in line.

This one was a slow start for me, lots of world building, with new people introduced at each stop in their journey. But by about halfway, it picked up, the characters all started to mesh & the storyline became much more interesting. Glad I pushed through on this one & looking for the next part.

Why is it sometimes that books you should like just seem to drag? I light read turns into a struggle. Is it just that it catches you at the wrong time and place, the wrong frame of mind, something else... Either way, pushing through with this one.
