Welcome to Litsy!

Well, this is my first #DNF of 2025! Pretty far into the year—& rarer still for me to set aside an #audiobook! But this memoir, though it started out with a great hook—the author disappeared from his MI college town, leaving behind his bag & last seen on the iced over lake soon turns into something less expected. I didn‘t want to continue on once I learned the selfish nature of his disappearance & the apparent undiagnosed mental health struggles.

Ever bailed on a book you were enjoying, just because a main character reminded you of someone you really don‘t like and thinking of them made it impossible to enjoy the story?That‘s pretty much what happened here. I felt compelled to continue because it was for a book club. Thankfully @ElizaMarie and @bookandbedandtea were understanding of my need to #dnf #bookclubgonepostal #bcgp

This is a bail because of content, not writing quality. It contains Broms beautiful writing and art. It is also a very interesting retelling of Peter Pan. Just the violence against children is very extreme and just not something I enjoy reading. #hailthebail #dnf
#bookspin off the TBR

I read 4 off my shelf - 2 audio, 2 physical
AND #DNF's 2 - 1 audio, 1 physical

All in all a great #SeptemberReCap :)

I enjoyed the first of this series but I couldn‘t get onto this one. It was more assault heavy than I remembered the first one being. I highly doubt that I will try to finish this at a later date. #DNF #NotForMe

This premise is just too absurd and I‘m not feeling it. #dnf #hailthebail

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

I VERY rarely bail on books, but I just didn‘t get this at all. After like 40 pages, I realized I wasn‘t going to be able to continue. Not sure if it‘s just my brain, but I couldn‘t make sense of it. #dnf
