Welcome to Litsy!

Ugh!!! I like a good first draft, this was not good, but read like a draft. Predictable. Very fanfiction-y.

She's not like the other girls. He can't stand her. But they are drawn together...

The banter was very YA (fae don't know what a ghost is, but know what Cliffs Notes are?). It's only NA or even adult Romantasy because swearing and 🌶️

I'm definitely not the target audience for this train wreck.

The Silence Factory wins. I know this might be an #UnpopularOpinion, but I just found the book boring. I guess Gothic is not my jam.

This one just had a really high ick factor.

I'm not saying this book is absolut 💩, but it was the worst book I read in September.

The Wren in the Holly Library - lovely cover, good idea, poor execution.

Need to think about which of the July/August books was worse than the other.

July's 💩 read was The Last Witch In Edinburgh (ARC).

Looking at my chart so far, I have a knack for picking the wrong (for me) ARCs. 🤣🤣

First half of the year is as good as over. Time to review June, add a wild card and tally the first half of #WorstRead2024.

June's worst read was My Brother's Keeper - I expected too much.

My Wild Card is Pole Position - this was a dumpster fire

Tallying up the first six months: Mars House is the clear winner, or loser.

@CSeydel

May's stinker was The Puzzle Wood. I might have had too high expectations. The ARC read like an early draft. The finished novel might be more well-polished and historical inaccuracies might have been edited out.

Let's see what June brings.

My April #WorstRead2024 just wasn‘t for me. On the plus side, it was the only book I didn‘t like last month. 26 good (some great) reads in a month are #bookproblems I can handle. 🤓

I've read a lot in April. Not all of the books were good. None was abysmal, which is good actually. When choosing the Worst Read for April I went with the most disappointing book. Only to then realise, my March Worst Read was even more disappointing. So, here is the first third of the year reading disappointments summed up. 😁
