I can‘t explain my lack of interest but I‘m having to force myself to read this so I‘m giving up #next

BookmarkTavern #hailthebail On to better books! 19h
bookandbedandtea @BookmarkTavern Exactly! No one has time for books that aren't working. 😉 3m

I think if you work in a library this is for you. I‘m bored.

#unpopularopinion I know a lot of people really enjoyed this book, but it's just not doing it for me. Maybe it's because I've just listened to two mysteries, I'm burnt out on solving murders, or maybe Lafferty isn't an author for me. I also bailed on The Shambling Guide to New York City. I think it's time for something lighter.

BookmarkTavern I loved this one, but I can definitely see how it‘s not for everyone! Hope your next book is better! 19h
RamsFan1963 @BookmarkTavern I'm going to hold on to the book and try it again some other time. I just don't think I was in the mood for another mystery right now. 12h
BookmarkTavern Absolutely fair! Also, if you enjoy audiobooks, that‘s how I read this one and I really enjoyed it! 12h

I had to bail after 50 pgs. I chose it because It was apocalyptic and set in California, two of my favorite genres. I looked at reviews before I quit and it didn't look like it was ever going to go anywhere.
But this particular cover is beautiful.

2/5

Dacian empath, Malina, is captured in the aftermath of battle where she failed to protect her Celtic adopted family and taken as a slave by the Roman general and dragon shifter, Julianus.

The combination of relationship dynamic and power imbalance between Malina and Julianus with the ancient Roman inspired system of slavery, was too off-putting for me, and I just couldn't get past it. It was also a darker romance than I had expected.

TheSpineView #HailTheBail #Next Hope the next book is 5 stars! 4d

57 which includes a few DNFs. I once carried around an old and old-smelling paperback of Rushdie‘s Midnight Children and finally got rid of it. #someday
I had Pratchett‘s The Color of Magic out from the library but it was returned before I read it. #sigh

dabbe I say no sighs. #hailthebail! We read what we're feeling we want to read! And you still kicked my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 1w
BkClubCare @dabbe - truly, you will likely have the bestest fun time reading the Count of Monte Cristo. Perhaps it is a book waiting for its right time with you 😊 1w

Unfortunately bailing on this one for now. I might try the ebook once my hoopla borrows reset for May, but I've been slogging through this audiobook. I'm a third of the way and feel like barely anything has happened. Has anyone else read this one? Does the pace pick up at all?
I'm bummed because it was doing some cool things inverting the Darcy/Elizabeth characters that I was excited to see explored

Crinoline_Laphroaig Looked up my Goodreads Review. Bailed on this series awhile back. Liked parts of this one. Especially the food! Antagonism between main characters went on way too long. Also it was unbelievable how Dr. Trisha just blithely told any and everyone who asked about her patient's condition. Privacy??? 1w
Crinoline_Laphroaig Whole cousin who 'saw the future' was a weird addition. Also handling of the 'Big Secret' was problematic. 1w

peanutnine @Crinoline_Laphroaig thank you for the validation! I don't feel as bad for giving up now. The antagonism between the main couple was way harsh! And I didn't like how Trisha's family treated her 1w
staci.reads I pushed through. It doesn't get better. 1w
peanutnine @staci.reads good to know 👍🏼💖 1w

Stopped at 10%. Usually I love Scalzi, but i could not get into this story. Normally I fly through his pages, but I was creeping along with this one. Like reading just a few pages each sitting.

I wasn‘t looking forward to continuing, and even worse, I started dreading picking up my Kobo. That‘s when I knew to #DNF. Maybe I‘ll try again someday.

TheSpineView That has happened to me before too. 2w

This is a very steamy book. It also a plot that I have read multiple times before, and the characters are not interesting enough for me to care. I made it 39% and I‘m done. #hailthebail
