An English Murder | Cyril Hare
Bailedbailed

A second #dnf for the morning. Some dated, racist dialog so a nope for me. #hailthebail

Aims42 #HailTheBail 🚀 Hope your next read is a “pick” 🤘 (edited) 3d
Ruthiella That‘s fair. I will say, however, I think Hare did that intentionally to expose the underbelly of English society. The ultimate hero of the novel is Dr. Bottwink. 3d

Bailing on this early. I enjoy folk horror but the way the male author wrote the main woman character is quite awkward. #dnf #hailthebail

To fill out the last row of my #readingblanket I‘m trying to get in a few more short reads before the new year.
This snowy cozy is up next as soon as I charge my #kobo.
It has 50/50 reviews so it could potentially be my first #DNF of the year.

Yuki_Onna The cover is cute though! ☃️❄️☃️ 2w
MaleficentBookDragon @Yuki_Onna it wasn‘t very good. Too bad. ⛄️☹️ 2w

#dnf Life is too short to read books you don‘t like. Unless you‘re in school, then you have no choice.

Texreader Life is too short! Thanks for a thoughtful explanation! As our dear @dabbe puts it: @hailthebail !! 3w
dabbe @Texreader Aww! TY! And you're so right! #hailthatbail! 🙌🏻 #betterbooksahead 3w

I love D20, so I wanted to read the source material for Starstruck Odyssey. Friends, I just can‘t get into it. It‘s very 80‘s and 90‘s comics and that‘s not my jam. I‘ve tried twice. I couldn‘t force myself even on a plane. #noteverybookusforeverybody #dnf #bookspinbingo

EHH. So the MC was just horrible! Like JUST HORRIBLE, there was a bit towards the end that I had seriously considered #DNF because I couldn't read another one of “will he kill me“ monologues. But I slugged through. The ending was --- eh. I am gonna say it's a “no“ from me.

Lobster is NOT impressed.

The writing is lovely, but the story is too cynical and depressing for me. Bye-bye, Iran-Contra. #DNF #authoramonth

This is just not for me. I am not a fan of teenage narrators - especially outside of YA. Also their dialogue is so out of the realm of how actual young teens speak. #dnf #hailthebail
A #roll100 off the TBR!

PuddleJumper Off your shelves! 2mo
AnneCecilie Love the baby elephant on the cover. Too bad the rest wasn‘t for you 2mo

The writing style is just not clicking with me. #dnf at 30% #hailthebail #bookspin pick off the TBR

Karkar I am so glad I am not the only one who did not love this! 2mo
ravenlee I‘ve had this on my tbr for years, but I haven‘t enjoyed Leckie‘s short fiction and have been hesitant to try anything else. I think I‘m going to unstack this one. 2mo
Ruthiella That‘s fair. If the writing style is not for you, there is no need to torture yourself. 2mo
TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list!! 2mo
