Welcome to Litsy!

Sigh. It‘s not you, Orbital, it‘s me. But maybe it‘s you, just a little. (Also maybe audio was a poor choice for me with this one.)

I was enticed by the Booker win and an immediately available audio copy on Libby. This sounded like something I‘d enjoy: meditative and thoughtful. I like meditative and thoughtful. I don‘t need a page-turning plot, but I did want some semblance of a story. Halfway through I‘m still struggling to remember ⤵️

DNF around 100 pages.

I was really liking this one—the audio is fabulous—but then I suspected something would happen that is an absolute no for me. (I‘ll post a spoiler in the comments). I did some research, confirmed my suspicions, and then read spoiler blogs to figure out how this ends.

It was a really great thriller, but will set this to the side so I don‘t become very emotional.

Good choice, @LiteraryinPA for #AuldLangSpine , but I‘m too chicken to finish!

I don't particularly like reality TV shows, so I guess I'm not the right reader for a book about a reality TV show.
I appreciate that this is a critique of the genre, of consumerism, the increasing monetisation of all aspects of life, the intrusion of governments and private companies into personal spaces, and the intensification of the Society of the Spectacle, but 81 pages is enough for me to know I don't need this object ⬇️

Continuing on a bad track of books not for me. I thought this was going to be a thriller/horror but instead it‘s a police procedural with a truly unlikeable protagonist. #hailthebail #dnf

Unfortunately I just couldn‘t get into it. ⭐️

This just didn‘t hold my attention…

Bailing at about 120 pages.... I may return when my mood is lighter but I'm not reading much this week because I don't want to read this right now.

This is not a bad book, it‘s just the humor is not clicking for me. It doesn‘t help that I have been reading Dungeon Crawler Carl which is infinitely funnier. So #hailthebail
A book off my #roll100 off the #tbr

Look, I‘m not saying it wasn‘t good, I‘m just saying it wasn‘t good for me. I was so bored I started skipping through chapters. Then I thought “if I‘m skipping most of the book, why am I even reading it“. DNF
