Bailedbailed

Sad to #dnf this, but I just don‘t like it. The characters are not very engaging and just horrible things are happening to the women/female characters which I just don‘t wish to read about anymore. I think I will just jump to the Fitz & the Fool series and pass on the Rainwilds - which is generally disliked. #hailthebail

Bailedbailed

Debut local author novel. I really tried. DNF around 40%. The story plot line itself is amazing - what if bugs, specifically the honey bees - were the guardians of the earth and they were just done with humans destroying the earth? The writing style is all over the place, seemingly written without edits.

I got suckered in by the “echoes of Hades & Persephone” and “Practical Magic”. I‘ve been on the fence with bailing for hours. At 63% I am done. For the love of the goddesses, in Tarot, Death means Change. It is the shedding of habits and thought patterns that no longer serve your greatest good, not literal death. Stop using the Death card as a jump scare! Just, stop.

5feet.of.fury Too bad! It‘s a pretty cover 😍 2d

I had to bail at 50%. I couldn‘t take it. The writing was so pretentious, and it felt like the author was trying so hard. Twice using the word demure to describe the same character‘s face? No thanks. Also, a viola is not a fiddle. A violin is a fiddle, but not a viola. Two different instruments. That was so frustrating, like a quick goog could have taught him they‘re not the same.

I just couldn't really get into Murder Most Festive for some reason, so I switched to The Candy Cane Cupcake Killer for my December seasonal cozy, and I'm enjoying it a lot more. 🎄🧁🎄

julieclair As @dabbe always says, #HailTheBail ! Candy Cane Cupcake looks good… I‘d like to live in that cover, sitting in a sunny window seat, reading and eating cupcakes! 🧁 4d

DNF

I loved the show and tried this on audiobook but I think my issue is that audiobooks are not for me. I will consider reading it in the future but damn it‘s hard to follow when someone is reading to me.

I kept falling asleep or losing my place and had to rewind but didn‘t know where I‘d lost track. It‘s been months and I‘m admiting defeat.

This is the third audiobook I‘ve tried and all of them haven‘t really been for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lesliereadsalot Audio books are not for me either. Even podcasts can make me fall asleep! Three Body Problem is a good book though. Maybe try reading it sometime. 7d
Kitta @Lesliereadsalot I love science fiction and this seems right up my alley which is why I selected it from BOTM, they didn‘t have hard copies if I remember correctly. I‘ll definitely give it another chance - just not in this format. 7d

I can‘t force myself through 20 pages; not going to try any more. Other books await!

Bailing on this, not because the writing is bad, but it is just not for me. Moving on!

I‘m struggling with this one!! Should I keep going?

wordslinger42 I made myself finish this one before I embraced bailing haha, but I didn‘t like it that much. My advice would be to move on to another book if you‘re not feeling it! 1w
AnnCrystal I have been struggling with one of my reads, it was good but I just couldn't find a connection. I decided that reading shouldn't feel like a chore, especially during the Holidays 📚💝. (edited) 1w
