This one hits both #blameitonLitsy and #didn'tlikestillfinished . Ughhhhh. Thought it would NEVER End. And I paid for that. But St Jo library is getting good use out of it. #marchintoreading

The One-in-a-Million Boy | Monica Wood

So this is my #marchintoreading #didn'tlikebutstillfinished. Maybe it's because I'm monstrously cynical, but this had the same sticky-sweet, kumbaya feeling I have previously gotten mainly from Mitch Alblom and anything with "Chicken Soup" in the title.

Bibliogeekery Ha! Love this review! 8y

Imagineannie @Bibliogeekery even evil cynics need friends..... 8y

Bibliogeekery I'm so cynical too! I love the honesty! 😂😂 8y

Fall of Giants: Book One of the Century Trilogy | Ken Follett

pan

#didn'tlikeitstillfinished #marchintoreading I love history, but the writing and storylines were so simplistic and the history so stereotypical I didn't like this at all. Unfortunately, it was loaned to me by a friend who loved it so I had to finish all 1,000 pages!

Rose1 Still on my tbr pile, it was a gift from someone some time ago now. We'll see if I ever get to it😂 8y

Ole I've had the same feeling after reading some other polular Ken Follet books 👍 8y

Aswenson I LOVED Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, but this trilogy isn't quite grabbing me the same way. 7y

#Didn'tLikeItStillFinishedIt I would use the word hate. I hated it. But yet I still finished it. #MarchIntoReading

KVanRead I felt just that way about his Purity which I read in Jan. This one's still on my shelf but I'm now thinking I might take it right back to the Goodwill and save myself the aggravation.😂 8y

Reviewsbylola I actually don't think I finished this. Horrible book and I'm not too fond of the author either after the pompous shit he had to say re: Oprah and her book club. 8y

Centique Yes! I had forgotten this book - I slogged through it hating almost all the characters. These days I would bail..... 8y

Lord of the Flies (Centenary) | William Golding

#didn'tlikeitstillfinishedit #reallifereading. I only finished books I did not like in school and college. This one in particular really creeped me out and I have spent years trying not to think about it. Shuddering 🤡photo credit Wikipedia

rabbitprincess In our HS English class, our teacher told us that previous students had asked her if someone else had had to write the ending on Golding's behalf, because it felt so out of keeping with the rest of the book. 8y

Dragon Thanks @rabbitprincess that's s good point 📚🐉 8y
