Welcome to Litsy!

Love the cover, but nothing is happening! I‘m all about love at first sight trope, but this was even too much for me.

This is an "it's not you, it's me" DNF. I just don't have the bandwidth to put in the effort on a translated classic right now. I feel mild FOMO, but not enough to change my mind.

After 158 pages of characters moving through molasses, I'm ready to #HailTheBail

64/80

Things become complicated for Jazzi when her friend & bookstore co-owner Dawn discovers a violently murdered body after a cooking competition. It‘ll be up to Jazzi to investigate when Dawn‘s mental health nose dives.

This was disappointing. The bookstore didn‘t make nearly as much of an appearance as I wanted, the prose was repetitive & ridiculously over detailed. The solve didn‘t feel well set up. The narrator did a good job though.🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

I gotta be true to myself - I can‘t read this. It‘s this 1900s murders that just were boring poisons and doesn‘t get enough into the dynamics to make me care about their stories enough. I don‘t want to read this

@TheAromaofBooks

Not 100% surprised at this.

I generally like Megan Miranda.
Maybe the title was working subliminally on me (You Don‘t Belong Here) cuz
I had to bail. 😝😉

Sorry, Jane, I tried
I'm scratching you off my list
Your books aren't my jam

I bailed at 44%. Couldn't keep up and couldn't care less.

This had an interesting start, but I‘m just not enjoying the main character or the writing style. It has a YA tone but definitely adult content. Just not for me. #hailthebail

After trying to read this three times (twice with the physical copy, once with audio), I‘m sad to say that I‘m going to permanently DNF this. While I love SJM, I was never a fan of urban fantasy and I just couldn‘t get into the story. Life is short and my TBR is too long to keep going back to an 800 page book I‘m not enjoying.
