bailed

This started strong for me, but then some of the dialog and characterization was bothering me. Also, does he understand how little 7 yr olds are? So sadly DNF‘d. Another book off of my #Roll100 list!

The Buried Giant: A novel | Kazuo Ishiguro

bailed

Well this is the second Ishiguro book I can't finish. I really liked Never Let Me Go but this one and The Unconsoled are just too abstract for me I guess. Gave up at page 150.

Darklunarose @DGRachel 😂 thanks…I‘m not sure what else I could have write. It was “oh I love this”, “this is good” then”nope, I‘m not going further!” 1mo

The Summer Skies | Jenny Colgan

bailed

I‘m DnFing this one. Not that it isn‘t enjoyable. It is just a slow read what I can‘t get into right now. It was a library random pick, mainly for the pretty cover. 😅 #hailthebail ?

dabbe YES! #hailthatbail! 🤩🤩🤩 2mo

Cuilin 🙌🙌 I‘ve had to DNF a few myself recently #HailTheBail 2mo

I think Poe agrees with my decision to bail from this book. Just bored. #hailthebail #libraryfind #Poe #catsoflitsy

Prairiegirl_reading When I first about heard about this book I immediately went to buy it. And I may have read about 5 pages, maybe. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2mo

Mollyanna This was a so-so read for me. Probably should have bailed… I remember very little about it. #hailthebail 2mo

ShelleyBooksie Poe is soo cute!! 2mo

All Fours | Miranda July

bailed

Life‘s too short to be voluntarily annoyed and hate read this any longer.
I loathe this MC.
There should be a sub genre of ‘menopause‘ books- insufferable privileged women spending money to find solutions to their life.
Definitely a lot to discuss here.

Ruthiella Love this review! I liked it for what it was. July pushes boundaries, but your assessment is not wrong. 😆 2mo

Librarybelle Love this review! One of my favorite bailed reviews I‘ve read! 2mo

squirrelbrain You might still be able to contribute at the weekend! 🤞 If it doesn‘t upset you too much…. 2mo

Susanita I‘m hanging in there so far, but yeah she is…a lot. 2mo

TrishB @Ruthiella I think it‘s because I don‘t think the boundaries are real. Woman has mid life epiphany needs a lot of sex. 🤷‍♀️ lots to discuss! 2mo

TrishB @Librarybelle 😘 2mo

TrishB @squirrelbrain I think I have a lot to say! Probably none of it relevant 😁 2mo

TrishB @Susanita you‘re very diplomatic 😁 2mo

Susanita Actually, I read a few more pages and decided to bail too! 2mo

julesG 👏👏👏 2mo

dabbe I think I'll skip this one based on this review. #hailthatbail! 🤩🤩🤩 2mo

Megabooks I‘d still love to hear your thoughts. Seriously! I love menopause reads, but I can definitely see how they‘re marmite. 2mo

BarbaraBB Lots to discuss. I am not a fan of menopause books per se but I liked this one much more than Sandwich, which I know you preferred. I do think J won‘t read the new Lombardo soon, having enough of menopause books for now! 2mo

Hooked_on_books I thought the menopause bit had a lot of potential and could be interesting, if the book would stop focusing on sex for two seconds and act like there‘s more to life than that. I don‘t blame you at all for bailing. I probably should have. 2mo

Oryx Love this review! I've been so looking forward to seeing the reviews of this come in 2mo

DGRachel I could not agree more! I love this review. 2mo

TheBookHippie I bailed… I couldn‘t even hate read it 🫣😬😵‍💫😝 2mo

TrishB @Megabooks I definitely have plenty of thoughts! 2mo

TrishB @BarbaraBB I think I liked Sandwich as there was some humility, normality and humour! But still a bit privileged. I didn‘t find any of those in this one! Like you I may give them a miss for a bit. 2mo

TrishB @Hooked_on_books agree. It seems the only ‘solution‘ to the menopause is to throw off the shackles of life and have lots of sex. Hard enough getting the menopause taken seriously as it is. 2mo

TrishB @Oryx @DGRachel @TheBookHippie it definitely makes for strong opinions 😁 2mo

TrishB @Susanita 👍🏻 2mo

Caroline2 “Voluntarily annoyed” love that expression Trish!! Yep, life is defo too short to spend with books that wind you up!! ? for me, the real privilege came later when she‘s all blasé about her annual gynaecologist appt who then just did a hormone test and got her on hrt like it was nothing. Cor, can you imagine that in this country!???? 2mo

TrishB @Caroline2 getting the app would be one battle, being taken seriously would be a step too far! Fantasy. 2mo

The Grapes of Wrath | John Steinbeck

bailed

I'm so disappointed to bail on my #Bookedintime selection. I adore the landscape and nature descriptions. However, it does feel overly preachy, and I'm just not in the right mindset atm to persevere. I will pick it up to try again, at some point. I do feel the fault is mine, not the book.

@Cuilin @dabbe

Cuilin Oh, I totally get it. I‘m struggling with the puritanical preaching in Little Women right now. Grateful that it‘s only a chapter a day. I DNF‘d my book for this month too. I‘m going to see if I can get something else but yeah, I get it. #HailTheBail 🙌 3mo
