For the 2nd chance prompt on the #OffMyShelf challenge.

I first started the tagged in Oct. The premise was intriguing & the beginning showed promise. However, as the story progressed, I lost interest & found that I was forcing myself to read, so I put it aside.

I came back to this book today & only got 2 chapters further than last time. I simply am not enjoying this. Too many things I disliked.

Now it‘s off my shelf & on my Pango shelf!

Aims42 I couldn‘t get into this one either, I bailed on it too. I think my expectations were too high ☹️ 2w
wanderinglynn @Aims42 glad I‘m not the only one because it has some rave reviews on GR. 🙌🏻 #hailthebail 2w

1. Either, but I prefer to see them by water, so it depends on which side of the water I‘m on.

2. apocalypse, animals, adventure

TheKidUpstairs I think I'm on my way to befriending a pair. I've been putting out peanuts for them when I see them around. This morning, one of them came and started calling for their snack. 3mo

Another excellent read! There is so much going on in this book, between the political strife forming between the clans, the journey of the sea captain, and the emotional hurricane of the new god avatars, but it all works together quite well. I love visiting this world Roanhorse has built. #Fantasy #Indigenous #LGBTQIA #Crows

Unique MG novel about twins Lark and Iris set in Minneapolis. It involves love, separation, self empowerment, some fantasy, and the unfathomable closeness of identical twins.

These are all I‘ve read in the last two weeks. (Well, Nancy's Mysterious Letter too so I‘m all set for tomorrow‘s discussion @Librarybelle ) Between house guests, getting Covid for the 5th time, & trying to catch up from a week off work it‘s been a struggle!
I enjoyed both installments in the Tony McLean series, liked Skye Falling (tho Skye is a LOT [excellent narration on audio]), & found Hollow Kingdom very clever & creative yet repetitive.

Librarybelle You‘ve still managed well with reading! Hope things calm down for you and that you are feeling better! 7mo
kspenmoll I hope you are recovered from Covid! 7mo
bookandbedandtea @Librarybelle I've just had my last busy day for a while and I'm nearly feeling back to normal 🩷 7mo
bookandbedandtea @kspenmoll I'm feeling so much better! Thanks 💜 7mo
