Bailedbailed

I read 4 chapters in 30 days because I had to force myself to read this. The discomfort isn't worth the effort. This is just not for me. Since I tried this for #withthebanned, I will say that just because it doesn't work for me doesn't mean it doesn't have value for others. Book bans are stupid.

Jadams89 Yes, bailing is always ok! I had to put it down several times myself. Thanks for giving it a try! 2d
lil1inblue @Jadams89 I am looking forward to November's read. I read All Boys Aren't Blue for Pride Month last year, so I'm reading this instead! 2d

Happy 🎃 Halloween

I am bailing on this; the mood/tone and impending sense of doom has me scrambling for air and sunshine. I did an internet search for spoilers so I could know what happens and now I am glad that I will stop reading this. #hailthebail #lifestooshort #timeforacozyhappybookplease ! #Oct2025 Book99

willaful #HailTheBail indeed! I hope your next read is delightful. 3d

Reggie Girl, I read horror and after reading this I had to take a break from horror for a while. You did the right thing. 2d
BkClubCare @Reggie - yes, thank you. New month, new focus on gratitude and abundance 2d
Sparklemn The mini-series was unbearably gruesome 23h

This had an intriguing start, then the writing became less interesting and it had a teen romance, which I just done like. Just not for me, but I know others like this one. #hailthebail

Bailing on this one early on — just cannot get into it. I think it might be the writing style? The narrator doesn‘t particularly grab me either. Just not the one for me, I guess!

Yep, that was definitely a nope. DNF this one so quick, but on a positive note, it is off my Kindle. This was my #Book3 for #Roll100.

PuddleJumper Off your shelf! 🎉🎉 6d

After multiple attempts, I have to add it to the DNF pile. I need someone or something to care about. It feels harsh, but I do not care about these characters.

rebcamuse I loved it but it did take me a while to get into the characters. 6d

I bailed on this one. I have read a lot of her books, and this is the first one I have bailed on. I couldn't get into it.

I was quite excited to read the book and was eagerly waiting for its release. After reading a substantial portion of it I think I may not be the audience for this, or maybe I'm not the right audience to appreciate it. This book was rather boring to me. The writing is good, but I found the characters blurring together and the plot dull. I did not like the Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors too. I feel the genre isn't for me I guess.
