About half way into this book and struggling to get through it. I guess ghosts and secret societies are not my thing. I'm going to see how much I get through this weekend and then make a call on continuing. I just can't seem to get into it and couldn't care less about what happens to the characters for some reason. I think if I don't finish I might try at a later date because maybe it's just my current reading mood.

Read4life I bailed. But I think it could just be my mood right now. I‘ve left it on my TBR but it‘s not getting read this month for #AuthorAMonth. @Soubhiville #hailthebail (for now anyway 😉) 7h
Soubhiville I couldn‘t get into this one either. 42m

Thank you Adam Grant.

#HailTheBail

TheBookHippie I bail so much more often as I age 😂😵‍💫👀 7d
AmyG @TheBookHippie I am on the cusp of bailing on a book….so I needed this. 7d
TheBookHippie @AmyG I donated all my #allhailthebail books and TBR I‘m never going to read to the woman‘s shelter .. they were ecstatic! Newer published books and not romance 😂🙃♥️. 7d

AnnCrystal It is necessary, we don't want to make reading feel like a chore...reading needs to be either informative or like little vacations, especially these days 📚💝. 7d
Leftcoastzen I‘m more that way now too! I think the more we read the more we have a sense of what we will like/not like regardless if a book is highly praised or not. I am painfully aware I don‘t have infinite years to read , so , not working for me ? #hailthebail 7d
kspenmoll I have never had a problem bailing from a book- not enough time to read something I don‘t like - I do give it a few chapters- then done! 7d
AlaMich The “sunk cost fallacy” is one of the most useful things a person can learn, I believe. Would save a lot of grief. 7d
dabbe @AlaMich 🎯🎯🎯! 7d
ShelleyBooksie His books are great! 7d
Susanita @AlaMich ITA about sunk costs…with books and otherwise. 7d
MemoirsForMe @AmyG @TheBookHippie Life‘s too short to spend reading a book you don‘t like or don‘t relate to. 👵🏻🙌🏻 6d

Well unfortunately I got about 2/3 through and was just not interested in the rest. I read through a bunch of reviews and many folks said it started strong and weakened in the middle, without a clear or strong conclusion.

It‘s about a Latina reader writing to an older Latino writer she admired greatly and had a confusing relationship with 10 years prior, after being contacted by a reporter about said author being charged with sexual assault.

This started so well for me, but I find myself struggling with the current (very long) section that I‘m on. Not enjoying myself anymore, so I‘m bailing on this one 😩

I think this was a freebie on Kindle and thank goodness it was free. This is really not good. I am bailing because the writing style really needs some editing. Not for me and I would not recommend to others. #hailthebail
