BarbaraBB Did you like Owen Meany? 4y

emilyhaldi @BarbaraBB Can I be honest?? I don‘t hate many things but I hated Owen meany 🤭 It seems to be very loved on Litsy but Owen drove me nuts!! I alternated between audio and print and the audio squeaky voice was too much for me....perhaps if I did print only I would have felt differently??? (edited) 4y

Cinfhen Woohoo 🎉 🙌🏻
congrats on completing #Booked2020 💗This is your #OfficialFinalEntry 🎊WELL DONE 😁🌈🥳 4y

Cinfhen I LOVED Owen but THE LIAR was HORRIBLE 😖😫 4y

BarbaraBB Owen on audio must be horrible! That voice! In print it already drove me crazy (all those capitals!). My husband literally threw the book in a corner and I couldn‘t blame him. But I ended up loving the book. That was a long long time ago though. 🤷🏻‍♀️😀 4y

emilyhaldi I think I threw the book at one point too!!! I was certainly yelling obscenities 🤣🤣 @BarbaraBB 4y

emilyhaldi @Cinfhen something we can agree on!!! I think The Liar is my most hated book EVER!!! It makes you wonder how some books make it to publishing?!?!? 🤮 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Great job! Sorry it was such a mixed bunch! 📚♥️🎉 4y

Reviewsbylola The Liar was truly incredible, as far as how bad it was. 4y

I‘ve been missing books that are easy-to-read like this. So it was a welcome breath of fresh air.

Got to page 90 before I had to admit this book is not very good 😝That‘s my second bail of the day😳

rockpools Wow! You‘ll be claiming @shawnmooney ‘s title at this rate 😉. Hope the next one sticks. 5y

TrishB But making me laugh 😂 which is good! 5y

shawnmooney I bailed in the first chapter on her first book. :-) 😍 5y

keithmalek The description uses the term "alternate facts." It shouldn't. It legitimizes the term. 5y

Cinfhen Hi 👋 @shawnmooney I really LOVED her book Waking Lions so I had high hopes for this book...but it truly sucked 😜what‘s new with you and your lovely guy??? Hope you‘re both well xxx 5y

Cinfhen I‘m just pleased and shocked I made it as far as page 90 @RachelO @TrishB @keithmalek I‘m wondering if because the book was written in Hebrew originally the wording/ translation played a part in my bailing...it was awkward. Same complaint I had with my earlier bail ....

Celestial Bodies

TrishB Some translations can be so clunky they ruin the read. 5y

Reviewsbylola Omg Cindy I‘m reading this now for #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub and it is AWFUL. I am so pissed I can‘t bail. The author uses similes at about 100x the rate she should. 5y

Cinfhen I feel for you... it was SO BAD!!! SO SO BAD / who chose it @Reviewsbylola ???? What a waste of your reading time 😖 5y

Reviewsbylola It is Anne‘s pick and I‘m desperately hoping she doesn‘t read my comments in the book because I can‘t hold back. @emilyhaldi is up next and I‘ve already warned her. 😂 5y

emilyhaldi Dreading this 😑 @Reviewsbylola @Cinfhen 5y

emilyhaldi Ok reading this now... Coincidentally just made it to page 90. Cindy- HOW did you make it that far before bailing?! 😆 I have wanted to bail every page that I‘ve read so far- it‘s pure torture 😝 @Reviewsbylola @Cinfhen 4y

Cinfhen It‘s SOOOOOOO bad!!!!! I kept thinking it might improve @emilyhaldi and I really liked her first book a lot

Waking Lions

Reviewsbylola It‘s literally one of the worst books I‘ve ever finished. 4y

I started a new on-the-treadmill-only audiobook. Here‘s hoping it keeps me motivated! Has anyone else read this one?

The Liar | Ayelet Gundar-Goshen

I had an early morning doctor appointment located right next door to a new bookstore ( sometimes Monday‘s aren‘t sooo bad😁) Picked up these 2❣️❣️Excited for the new Ayelet Gundar-Goshen novel. She‘s an Israeli author who wrote Waking Lions which I really enjoyed. And I was emotionally exhausted by Tattooist of Auschwitz but couldn‘t pass over the sister story; Cilka‘s Journey.

Cathythoughts Tagged book sounds really good ! Maybe I should read Waking Lions first ?! 🤔 5y

Cinfhen I‘ll let you know if this one is any good. Her other book also had a lot of moral ambiguities which I love to read @Cathythoughts Books are translated from Hebrew so occasionally a phrase didn‘t sound right in my English speaking brain but it didn‘t take away from the story (edited) 5y

JenReadsAlot Cilka's Journey was a tough, but great book. 5y

Cinfhen I‘m sure @JenReadsAlot I know @DGRachel bailed it was too sad for her 😭😭😭 5y

arubabookwoman I really liked Waking Lions. From the synopsis it sounds like The Liar might involve a somewhat similar theme? 5y
