The Winners | Fredrik Backman

#KeepingItReal
I want to LOVE this book but….it‘s been such a drag. Every time I set it down, I have zero interest in picking it back up. Beartown as a standalone would have been enough - in my opinion that book was PERFECTION. This final installment is 688 pages - so far 388 pages too long!!! UGH!! Im at 62% 😩 hoping to finish before it publishes this Tuesday September 27. It‘s also my #BookSpin for September @TheAromaofBooks

DGRachel You know I‘ll support you if you bail. That‘s a lot of pages to suffer through! 2y

ChaoticMissAdventures I had a digital ARC sent to me, looked at that page length and thought, there is no way I could do that. I love Backman, but I don't think any of his books should be that long.

merelybookish Time to channel your inner @shawnmooney 😂 2y

TheAromaofBooks Sometimes you have to #hailthebail 😂 But I also understand being reluctant to DNF a book by an author you generally like, especially when it's an ARC. Even though I really enjoyed Beartown, I felt no desire to read Us Against You... I just felt like the story had been told completely in the first book. 2y

Cinfhen I will NOT bail on this one because I want to know how Backman wraps things up @TheAromaofBooks @merelybookish @ChaoticMissAdventures @AmyG @DGRachel BUT I think I might have to institute #TheSkim - 😉 I appreciate your support friends!! I didn‘t realize the length until several other reviewers pointed it out. It‘s really wayyyyyyy too long!! 2y

TrishB Good luck! 2y

Imperfect Women | Araminta Hall

Wow! This book is BAD!!!! I‘m only 30% in and I‘m ready to quit #ARC #NetGalley 😝I read and enjoyed her previous book Our Kind of Cruelty but this book seems like a different author wrote it. It‘s sloppy and illogical and really weak writing. Ugh....I might have to invoke #TheSkim

TrishB Bailing yet? 5y

Cathythoughts Oh no 🤦🏼‍♀️ not #Theskim 🤣 5y

Cathythoughts Sorry, I‘m in a very giddy mood ... invoking #TheSkim has conjured up all sorts of crazy images for me 😜 5y
