#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #Roll100

Once again, I‘m the #UnpopularOpinion 🤷🏻‍♀️ I had a difficult time connecting with Mary from the start & considered DNF early on but, kept on despite my reservations. However, after 58% I just could not do it anymore. The situation with Ned was beyond my threshold of ridiculousness🤦🏻‍♀️😂🙄.

I won‘t be carrying on with this series & it‘s also been removed from my tbr👋🏻

DieAReader @CoverToCoverGirl Mary banging at Ned‘s door @ 4am accusing him of murder etc… & then they‘re in bed. Voila, a 🤬up relationship then takes place & she‘s madly in love with him🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ 4h

Unfortunately, this #ImpulseRead just couldn‘t keep my attention, regardless of the subject. I‘m not opposed to revisiting in the future.

This is a DNF for me at around the midway point. I couldn't get into the story. The plot dragged and I didn't like either of the main characters. It was a huge disappointment for me since I normally Meghan Quinn's books. Lots of people loved this one; therefore, I am chalking it up to not my cup of tea.

#UnpopularOpinion #HailTheBail

Andrew65 A real disappointment when you usually enjoy an author. Time for the next book, which will hopefully speak to you more. 2w

The Return of the Light: Twelve Tales from Around the World for the Winter Solstice | Carolyn McVickar Edwards

bailed

I‘m sorry. I just can‘t bring myself to read another sentence. A lot was promised, none of it was delivered.
#CarolynMcVickarEdwards #TheReturnOfTheLight #unpopularopinion #DNF #bail #couldntdoit

GingerAntics Of the 12 stories, only 6 can be readily found independent of the book in any form. Of those 6, three are either misnamed or given the wrong location, and a fourth is heavily changed, to the point of being a different story. The final story is part of Epiphany celebrations in Italy and nothing new to Catholic school pupils who had creative religion teachers. 1mo

GingerAntics The “solstice” songs at the end are Christmas carols she changed some of the words to. The activities are slightly augmented Christmas traditions from around the world. She has sources, but even those don‘t come up for half the stories, so she‘s either changed them beyond recognition or combined multiple stories. 1mo

kspenmoll Great review! 1mo

Maybe I am alone here, because why are all the publishers doing it if it wasn't working in marketing meetings, but I had really hoped that 2025 would give us better covers.

#UnpopularOpinion I really am coming to dislike all the cartoon covers! I want good, artist made, gorgeous covers! Most of thees look like teen books to me.

I guess it is good becauase I want to buy less next year, and these covers are not screamig by me to me.

ChaoticMissAdventures I might pick up Harlem Rhapsody and Awake i nthe Floating City, those don't look too bad, and Ido like the cover of Sleep in the bottom corner. This photo is from People magazine anticipated 2025 books - https://people.com/bestselling-authors-most-anticipated-2025-books-exclusive-875... 2mo

Bookwormjillk I read the ARC for Awake in the Floating City and loved it 2mo

Bookwormjillk And I agree with you on the covers 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @Bookwormjillk I just downloaded it! It sounds interesting. Glad to hear you loved it! 2mo

Leftcoastzen I agree . Too many in the same style. More creativity please ! 2mo

BarbaraBB Try to get the UK covers, they are mostly better - less infantile 😉 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @BarbaraBB yes! I shop on Blackwell a lot for years I have preferred the UK covers for most books. 2mo

CoverToCoverGirl Unfortunately it‘s the new “trend”. 2mo

I actually finished a book, first one in days. This book has sat on my physical shelf for years so helping clear off my TBR
This was an overall enjoyable story, possibly a soft pick, but at times I felt it was overly convoluted & therefore the book was longer than it needed to be.
A few personal surprises for Bosch along the way. I find that whilst I enjoy the Bosch books it gets a bit boring with the runs in with Internal Affairs #SeriesLove2024

#UnpopularOpinion This one was just OK for me. I felt like I was rereading so, it was easy to set aside & overlook for another book😅 I did like the tension buildup at the end though.

All that being said, I do very much enjoy this series & have the next instalments already in my library😏📚
