worstreadoftheyear

As excited as I was to read this book, it was defiantly my #WorstReadOfTheYear. There were a couple of times I got into the story but then it changed. #DeckTheShelves

Is the Bible Good for Women?: Seeking Clarity and Confidence Through a Jesus-Centered Understanding of Scripture | Wendy Alsup

A round up of lousy Lucys. To Siri With Love earned a dishonorable mention (since I didn‘t finish it) for most horrifying book of the year imo. #worstreadoftheyear #decktheshelves #boycotttosiri

saguarosally This sounds like a trio of books I‘d love. 😅 7y

MatchlessMarie @saguarosally Yikes! I could see how some might get into Grace Eventually and I do plan to try Lamott again but the other two are just ethically wrong imo. One promotes misogyny/inequality and the other ableism, eugenics, forced sterilization. So proceed with caution. 🚨 7y

I tried. I really wanted to like this series but it didn't work for me. Not going to give up on Maas, I still want to try Court of Thorns and Roses.

bookloo I stopped at Queen of Shadows. I became furious with the series. 😩 7y

mrp27 @bookloo Good to know I'm not alone. 7y

JoeStalksBeck @Tiffy_Reads I figured out who done it before I was half way thru . Just found it boring 7y

hermyknee I also hated Into The Water! I‘m currently listening to The Lying Game, but I don‘t know if I‘ll finish it. I‘ve got ten hours left and so far NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. 7y

Booksnchill I ditto The Lying Game 7y

dariazeoli I was so underwhelmed by The Girl on the Train, That I‘m thinking I should skip Into the Water 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y

cariashley Ugh I didn‘t like Into the Water either. I didn‘t know Lying Game was bad and I have it, bah! 7y

rachelm @cariashley I liked it 😜 7y

Ross lol I picked it up on a whim. I used to enjoy Dean Koontz as brain candy reading between the nonfiction stuff I usually read (pretty sure I had just finished finals too). I actually managed to have a great time with it. Haha not because it was good, but because it was bad. Like watching a terrible B movie because it‘s a terrible B movie. But in my case, that‘s what I needed at the time and that‘s probably the only reason I was able to enjoy it. 😂 7y

ferskner I'm so glad when I find other people who think Paula Hawkins is insanely overrated. 7y

ReadingEnvy Oh yeah Best Day Ever might be the worst book I actually finished this year. 7y

Cupofjo Man, it‘s been a long time since I‘ve read TickTock... but was it really that bad?? It is Dean Koontz! Lol (there was one I didn‘t like, I just no longer remember which one it was!) 7y

Reagan The Lying Game was awful. I avoided the Paula Hawkins because I thought The Girl on the Train was so bad. 7y

JackieSmith Into the Water was a DNF for me...read 30 pages, thought “oh, this happens,” flipped to the last chapter, was correct. 🙄 Glad I got it from library and didn‘t purchase. 7y

cariashley @rachelm good to know! I liked her earlier books so will probably still try it out! 7y
