#DNF #July ##BookSpin

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

Not 100% surprised at this.

HeatherBookNerd It‘s a slog! 4d
Eggbeater I read it in high school and thought it was torture. My teacher said parts were supposed to be boring to illustrate the many hours of inactivity on a ship. Like, why would I want to read that? 4d

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

dabbe #hailthebail! 🙌🏻 #betterbooksahead I love how literature affects all of us differently. I adored this book; it's an all-time fave of mine, but that doesn't mean it's for everybody. 🧡🩶💛 4d

I read six books in August. My favorites were The Horned God of the Witches and The Library At Hellebore.
My #BookSpin pick was Enigma which I'm still reading and my #DoubleSpin and #ReadOrDonate pick was The Starving Saints which was just to weird so I'm dnfing and donating.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Fantastic month!! 6d
DGRachel I just started The Library at Hellebore and I‘m not sure I can finish it. It is very disturbing 😳 6d

I am sure this will be popular. However, even though the tarot based magic system is interesting, nothing else in this book feels original. Also, I‘m just bored. DNF‘d at 30%. Let me know if you feel this is genuinely worth continuing. #hailthebail

julesG I think it's the right decision. I finished because I had an audiobook ARC. Gave it a low pick, but a So-So would be more accurate. 1w

This is a bummer as I LOVED Elatsoe, one of my favorite reads of last year. However, this is just boring. It should have been a short story. The first third was really interesting, but the middle of the book nothing was happening and there was just a lot of talking. So DNF. #hailthebail Another #bookspinbingo though!

Clare-Dragonfly I agree, it should have been a lot shorter. 😕 2w
TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list!! 2w
