The Lacuna | Barbara Kingsolver

bailed

After 136 pages I'm out. It's just not holding my interest. #HailTheBail

This concludes my #AllergicToChunksters challenge. Thank you @julieclair for helping me get 3 huge books off my TBR shelves!! 🙏🏼💕

TheAromaofBooks I know many people love Kingsolver's books, but I have tried three and haven't been able to finish any of them, so she just must not be a good fit for me. 2h

TheBookgeekFrau @Bookbuyingaddict I'm hoping her not best is better! 😂 4d

Aims42 This was one that I did finish but I should‘ve just bailed. Not my cup of tea 👎 4d

TheBookgeekFrau @Aims42 I'm glad I'm not alone in this! 😅 I just don't get all the love this book got 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4d

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego This was boring AF, but I think that was intentional to make the ending more impactful. It all kind of pops off at the end. But I didn't really find it worthwhile. And if I remember correctly, the epilogue pissed me off. 4d

TheBookgeekFrau @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego So boring!! What good is an impactful ending if you put your readers to sleep before they get there? 🤣 I couldn't even care about the characters who seemed like dust sheets draped over the furniture 4d

Aims42 @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego UGH! The epilogue almost made me throw the book across the room! I remember thinking, “I finished it for this?!?!?” And being super mad too 🤣 4d

Aims42 @TheBookgeekFrau Definitely not alone 🩷 4d

One Italian Summer: A Novel | Rebecca Serle

pick

This was almost a DNF. But, when I got surprised by who Katy runs into in Positano the story really took off for me. The ending was a little disappointing because I would've liked some kind of explanation. Overall, it was good story to get lost in.

Silent Witness: The Untold Story of Terri Schiavo's Death | Mark Fuhrman

pick

I always thought Michael Schiavo was a bit of a scheve, and a piece of shit right up to the end. But I never thought he had anything to do with Terri's collapse. I think differently now.

Overall, it was an interesting read that I'm glad I came across at a library book sale last year.
