#ThreeListThursday @dabbe

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. 💜💜💜 2d

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 😊 1d

Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors: A Novel | Sonali Dev

bailed

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??? 4d

Crinoline_Laphroaig Whole cousin who 'saw the future' was a weird addition. Also handling of the 'Big Secret' was problematic. 4d

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 4d

staci.reads I pushed through. It doesn't get better. 3d

peanutnine @staci.reads good to know 👍🏼💖 2d

When the Moon Hits Your Eye | John Scalzi

bailed

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. 5d

MemoirsForMe After seeing this title, that song will be playing in my head today. 😁🎶 5d

Fight | Sloane St James

bailed

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

The Wedding People: A Novel | Alison Espach

bailed

Definitely in the minority on this book, but I lost interest halfway through. I didn‘t connect with any of the characters and the “I don‘t like this” vibes started to outweigh the “I love this!” vibes. #HailtheBail 🚀

dabbe YES! #hailthatbail! 🙌🏻 #betterbooksahead 7d

Aims42 @dabbe The #hailthebail hashtag is so empowering 😁💕 I started a new book and already it‘s a better fit 7d

The Intern: A Novel | Michele Campbell

bailed

The premise of this seemed fun, so I thought I‘d give it a try. Unfortunately, it‘s immediately completely ridiculous. I thought I‘d give it a little time to see if that improved and by 25%, it‘s still completely ridiculous. So I‘m all done.

American Pop: A Novel | Snowden Wright

bailed

Okay. This bail is 100% on me. I really wanted this to be a book version of the History Channel‘s “Food that Built America” show. This is not like that. Family drama, oh yes. Characters that are difficult to like? You betcha. I‘m glad I found my copy at Savers for $3.99 because that‘s exactly where it‘s going back to. #HailtheBail
