bailedThe next one on my #netgalley list, pub in the UK next week. And yes, I bailed on a book-yay!
It wasn‘t that bad - just not good enough when I have so many other books to read. It‘s an updated Vanity Fair and the MC is supposedly based on Rebekah Brooks, of UK newspaper infamy.
To me it read like a trashy tabloid and there wasn‘t enough to hold my interest. It‘s a long time since I read VF too so it just didn‘t connect as a retelling either.
Caroline2 Meh 😒 that‘s disappointing!! 2y
Blaire Good for you for bailing - I struggle to do this despite my huge TBR with so many great books to get to 2y
squirrelbrain I know @Caroline2 - it‘s one I was looking forward to. I‘m sure it would be fine if you fancied something a bit fluffy, but not for me right now. 2y

squirrelbrain I‘ve always struggled to bail @Blaire but I‘m getting a bit better at it. It‘s easier if the book is ‘free‘- either a library book or an ARC. 2y
Megabooks All hail the bail!! 🙌🏻👏🏻 2y
rockpools Yay for bailing! I really should dip into NetGalley this week and see if I can clear any out - I find it hard to admit I‘ve bailed on ARCs, so they tend to just sit there half-read😬 2y
Cathythoughts Well done on the bail 👍🏻 2y
jhod Haha! I've been very temped to bail on this but think I'm going to try and power through tonight as I'm over half way... #mustgetbetteratbailing 2y
squirrelbrain Good luck with that, Jess! @jhod 🤣😬 2y
