The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz | Erik Larson

I picked this book up out of curiousity. The title sounded interesting and sounded like something out of the Twilight Zone.
I've only just started it. So far, I find it interesting even though I don't read historical stuff often.
If you've read this, what did you think?

Less: A Novel | Andrew Sean Greer

bailed

Gertrude and I are really not feeling this book and I‘m not sure why. I just can‘t finish this book. I even tried it on audio. I‘m over half way through and I just have to bail even though Less tries to #flyonthewingsoflove. #toomanybookssolittletime #septemberdanes
#canicountthisforbooked2018 even though I didn‘t finish it?

Cinfhen, Kalalalatja

TrishB I bailed too! I hardly ever bail. 6y

saresmoore I bailed, too. It felt too much like reading chick lit. 6y

ephemeralwaltz Aww interesting! I hadn't seen any negative reviews around here. @TrishB @saresmoore 6y

TrishB @ephemeralwaltz I definitely posted one a couple of months! I just thought it was boring and not funny. We‘re in a minority though. 6y

MrsMalaprop @saresmoore @TrishB I have to read it for my book club this month 😬. Be interested to see which side of the fence I‘m on 🤔. 6y

emilyhaldi Bummer 👎🏻 6y

JamieArc It was very Meh for me. I nearly bailed. In the book, people tell the main character that they had a hard time feeling sympathy for his character, a privileged white guy. I felt like I could have told the author of Less the same about HIS character. 6y

BittersweetBooks I really wanted to love this book but it was just okay for me 😔 (edited) 6y

CarolynM I'm sorry it didn't work for you but life is too short to keep reading if you're not getting anything out of it.🙂 6y

Kalalalatja I hate bailing, but sometimes that‘s just what you have to do! 6y

Cathythoughts It‘s on my shelf & I feel less & less like reading it. 6y

Mdargusch Oh wow! I didn‘t realize so many of you felt the same way! I think I laughed out loud once. @TrishB @saresmoore @JamieArc @BittersweetBooks 6y

Mdargusch I had seen some mixed reviews but the cover called to me. 🤦🏼‍♀️ @ephemeralwaltz @MrsMalaprop @emilyhaldi @Cathythoughts 6y

Mdargusch I wish I didn‘t feel so bad about bailing but I have so many books to get to that I probably should do it more often. Ugh - the guilt. 🙃 @CarolynM @Kalalalatja 6y

ephemeralwaltz @Mdargusch yeah we actually should bail more often. But it's so hard to! It's something I still have to come to terms with in my reading life. @CarolynM @Kalalalatja 6y

CarolynM @ephemeralwaltz I'm getting better at it. I think it comes with realising that even if I live to be 100 I will not have time to read all the books I'd like to read.🙂 6y

LauraBeth I think I loved this one because it was the right book at the right time for me. I can definitely see that it‘s not for everyone. Don‘t feel bad about bailing - lots of books to read - don‘t bother with something that is missing the mark with you 😀 6y

Reviewsbylola Skipping this one I think! 6y

The Magicians: A Novel | Lev Grossman

Is anybody else really bad at starting one book and then reading another or is it just me? 😅
I started this a long time ago and then got tired of it and started another. Now I‘m back to reading this. 🙄 I‘ve got issues.

Lolly Willowes | Sylvia Townsend Warner

pan

I did not like this one. The prose was a big part of it for me. The story was dull. The basic premise and Lolly herself I liked it was just the execution for me. But I love the cover!

Mdargusch I ordered this from BOTM and after so many bad reviews, I removed it from my TBR pile. You just validated that move. #toomanybookssolittletime 7y

DiruVamp @Mdargusch Glad I could help 😉 it's really a shame because I think it really had potential I just couldn't get past the style of writing. 7y
