GingerAntics
Five Broken Blades | Mai Corland

Sorry, not sorry to 92% of littens. 26% in and I just don‘t care. I was listening to the audiobook as fast as I could (3x speed) and it still felt like it was just crawling along at a snails pace. The bells instead of hours just feels pointless. Just say hours already.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics All of a sudden, 14 chapters in, this character is suddenly saying “gods on high” before everything. This is in no way an adult book. This feels so YA it‘s practically cliche. I‘m sorry. I just can‘t anymore. Even more importantly, I just don‘t want to. #MaiCorland #FiveBrokenBlades #DNF #bail #hardpass #YA #snoozefest #dontcare #cantdoitanymore 22h
julesG It's probably NA - YA but with some spice. 🙄🙄🙄 22h
GingerAntics @julesG I feel like NA is just a subgenre of YA based on what I‘ve read. I also read this had no spice, but “gods on high” that other character that betrayed you is still so hot. 🙄 22h

Aconight Audiobook on 3x speed was the ONLY way I got through this. I feel your pain so much. Here‘s to better books in your future 🥂 12h
GingerAntics @Aconight oh good! I felt like I was the only one! I was just sitting there thinking I would rather do a reread of something else than go another minute. So many books, so little time = no time for this nonsense. I commend you for powering through. 11h
Aconight @GingerAntics nope your opinions are extremely valid I assure you. I neverrrr put any audio on 3x. Unfortunately, I suffer from fear of DNFing. 😅 11h
GingerAntics @Aconight 2x is normal for me. I think it‘s a benefit of my ADHD brain taking things in super fast… but 3x usually it my upper limit and not comfortable. Somehow, this was still comfortable, but uncomfortable in how slow it felt. I just wanted the author to get on with it already. 9h

KadaGul @TheBookgeekFrau I started to read this book 📖 for Library Challenge. But u couldn't finish. It went sooooo slow. Like if this book 📖 was in a race w/ a snail 🐌 , Snail 🐌 will be a winner 🏆 for sure #SNOOZEFEST #BAIL #CNF 14mo
TheBookgeekFrau @KadaGul I can see your point. But I'm actually enjoying the MC's mindfulness and appreciation of her job. It's exactly the kind of read I need right now. 14mo
TieDyeDude I'm interested in what you think. I enjoyed it, but it was strange. 14mo
TheBookgeekFrau @TieDyeDude It is strange lol - I'm not disliking so far, so we'll see 😁 14mo

Bookwormjillk Three hours!! You deserve a big scandal or something. I did love Mrs Cadwallader‘s description of Ladislaw though. “Oh he‘s a dangerous young sprig with his opera songs and his ready tongue.” OPERA SONGS! OH THE HORRORS! 2y
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk right!!? Because obviously that makes him dangerous, he might sing you to death 🤣🤣 2y
Aimeesue @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead Not the opera! Anything but the opera! 2y
CoffeeNBooks I had a hard time focusing on this chapter. 🥴 2y
JamieArc This thread prepared me for this chapter 🥱😴 2y

KristiAhlers Can I just say the part that stood out for me on this one is Celia commenting on how this guy eats his soup 🤣. Ugh she‘s all in for marrying this guy. I wonder what her end game is. I mean there must be a method to her madness right? 2y

Bklover I love Celia! Having Dodo for a sister has to be agonizing for her. Also, what on earth has turned Dodo into such a NUT?! 2y
TheBookHippie @Bklover 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y
Bookwormjillk Have fun listening to him scraping his soup spoon for the rest of your life Dodo 2y
TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣🤣😵‍💫😅 2y
Aimeesue @Bookwormjillk Lol 😂 And YIKES! 2y
Clare-Dragonfly Oh my gosh, it is so hard not to make spoilery comments 😂 2y
SamAnne The one conclusion I‘ve come to is that Dodo is an appropriate nickname for her…. (edited) 2y
CoffeeNBooks Celia can't even, lol! It seems like not only can she not wrap her brain around Dorothea's decision to marry Casaubon, but she can't even understand Dorothea's line of thinking as to why she would even consider it! Spoon scraper! Blinks before he talks! I bet he's one of those people who chews loudly, too. 😂 2y
kspenmoll @Bookwormjillk 😂😂😂😂 2y
kspenmoll @Bklover That is the question! 2y
Bklover @KristiAhlers SLURP SLURP!! 2y
BarkingMadRead Y‘all are killing me with the soup comments! 🤣🤣🤣 2y
LitStephanie The look on his face in this picture is priceless. 2y
LitStephanie @KristiAhlers @Bookwormjillk nevermind the soup eating methods. That proposal letter! No other woman with any other options would have been swept off her feet by that. 2y
AllDebooks Finally catching up! All of the above 🤣 That letter tho, so much waffle just to say 'hey girl' 😏 Can you imagine how dull his book is... 🫣 @BarkingMadRead 2y
