Bailedbailed

I wanted to love this, and it started out SO strong! Normally the issue I find with audiobooks is I like the story but not the voices—this was the opposite! I am in AWE of the talented voice actors but the story has really fizzled out for me, and/or doesn‘t have a clear plot. Maybe a problem of too many shifting perspectives? #allhailthebail

#LiteraryCrew I listened to the first two hours and this isn‘t really holding my interest. There are plenty of other books out there and I‘ve decided it‘s time to #HailTheBail!

Librarybelle Thanks for trying! 1w
CatLass007 @Librarybelle I really wanted to like this but I guess it wasn‘t meant to be. Please tag me when the questions go up because I‘d really like to see what others think of it. 1w
Librarybelle Will do! 1w

Sargar114 It‘s definitely a slow start, I also read at the end of the day, but I find myself falling asleep reading. 5d
CatLass007 @Sargar114 I tried listening to the The Martian Chronicles and fell asleep four different times throughout the day. When I tried listening to this I also fell asleep. Then I started listening to Wool and I was riveted. I‘m generally a mood reader and the first two books I tried the other day were just too slow for me. 5d
tpixie @CatLass007 it‘s a great skill- learning how to DNF a book. I‘m still learning. 15h
CatLass007 @tpixie I didn‘t know how to bail on a book until I joined Litsy. I didn‘t even know it was okay to bail on a book. I felt guilty if I didn‘t finish a book because I was a book buyer, not usually a book borrower. But I‘m doing better about borrowing books instead of buying them. So that‘s something else I learned on Litsy. Also, I‘ve started tagging @dabbe because she‘s always super supportive and encouraging when I bail. 10h
tpixie @CatLass007 not having money invested in it does help me not feel as bad. We do need to value our time, and feel comfortable abandoning a book that isn‘t right for us. It‘s a great lesson to learn. That‘s great @dabbe helps support you!! Litsy is such a great, safe place! (edited) 9h
CatLass007 @tpixie @dabbe supports everyone. Litsy isn‘t just a place. Litsy is its people. There‘s not a dud in the bunch.❤️❤️❤️ 9h
dabbe @CatLass007 You are too sweet! Sometimes it's necessary to #hailthatbail! Too many other phenomenal books out there that will appeal to us, right? 🩶🩵🩶 9h
dabbe @CatLass007 You just made my day! I'm going to buy a lottery ticket! 🤩😂😘 9h
tpixie @dabbe lol 😂 great hashtag #️⃣🩵 9h
dabbe @tpixie TY! 🤩😂🤗 9h
CatLass007 @dabbe @tpixie Yes!!🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️ 8h

Sorry, #HitchtoScreen. I just couldn‘t stand to be with these people a moment longer.

As I am still sick, I will continue with written reviews. I did not even get halfway through this book. I was so excited to get this ARC since I love Chuck D. The illustrations in it are interesting. He talks about meeting other famous people and the role they played when he met them. The reason why I couldn't read all of it was the book format. Review continued in comments.

booklover3258 It's paperback and the writing continues from the 1st page to the 2nd in the margins and it's super hard to read since some of the words are in the middle of the book. I would literally have to tear out the pages in order to fully read the words. Hopefully when the book comes out next year, this will be fixed and I can read and enjoy it. 1mo

I think I happily bailed on 10-15 books in 2024—a record high! I actually set it as a goal this year—to feel more comfortable not finishing books I wasn‘t enjoying—and I very much succeeded in that goal 🏆

And that's a bail! Some interesting stuff, but a lot of stuff so over my head that I was just reading words with no meaning.

But, yay, got a bingo! 😁

Andrew65 A shame when this happens. 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @Andrew65 Yes 😕 But I might go back to it; because what didn't go over my head was really quite interesting 1mo

Continuing on a bad track of books not for me. I thought this was going to be a thriller/horror but instead it‘s a police procedural with a truly unlikeable protagonist. #hailthebail #dnf

Sace Ugh! I hate when a book turns out not to be what you expected. 3mo
