Bailedbailed

I am so sorry to start the year with a bail. This is my #FirstReadOf2018 but it didn't keep my attention. Come to one third of the story, l still didn't understand what it was about.
I tried to hold in it, it's just a short graphic novel, but l couldn't 😶

I'm going back to Tolkien and Ende 😊

damyantig So sorry you had to bail! I hope the next one goes better! 7y
JazzFeathers @damyantig All the other novels l'm reading are fantastic. I'm just sorry the year started with a bail 😖 7y
damyantig What else are you reading? 7y
JazzFeathers @damyantig One was Beren and Luthien, finished last week. Really really enjoyed it, both the story and the insight into Tolkien's writing process. The other is The Neverending Story, which l'm still reading 7y
