bailedIt‘s a 100 pages in and I feel like this story has made no progress. Alice is still in the hospital and still doesn‘t remember anything. I‘m bored, I‘m over it , I‘m out!

I sat for nearly 30 minutes critiquing this book instead of enjoying the read. When I realized what I was doing, I had enough. 100+ pages in and I'm done. DNF
Just didn't buy the 2 main characters and honestly, it really came across as a couple of guys writing a thriller, paint by number style. Just doesn't work and I've bailed.

Reading slumps are pretty rare for me, but when they hit, they hit hard. I used to try and power through them. Just push through with whatever book I‘m feeling stuck on, but I‘m trying to be better at not shaming myself for bailing on books that aren‘t working for me.
Worst cases, I go back to an old childhood favorite and do a reread. Remind myself what made me fall in love with reading.
#SundayFunday Have a great day, & remember to tag me!
bailedWell that‘s an unfortunate start to February. I‘m DNFing this one. The set up is fun-people trapped by an avalanche, someone is dead maybe? However, everyone is either stupid, bland or unlikable. Others may enjoy this one, but a big nope for me. #hailthebail
bailedI wanted to love this, and it started out SO strong! Normally the issue I find with audiobooks is I like the story but not the voices—this was the opposite! I am in AWE of the talented voice actors but the story has really fizzled out for me, and/or doesn‘t have a clear plot. Maybe a problem of too many shifting perspectives? #allhailthebail
bailed#LiteraryCrew I listened to the first two hours and this isn‘t really holding my interest. There are plenty of other books out there and I‘ve decided it‘s time to #HailTheBail!
bailedAs I am still sick, I will continue with written reviews. I did not even get halfway through this book. I was so excited to get this ARC since I love Chuck D. The illustrations in it are interesting. He talks about meeting other famous people and the role they played when he met them. The reason why I couldn't read all of it was the book format. Review continued in comments.
I think I happily bailed on 10-15 books in 2024—a record high! I actually set it as a goal this year—to feel more comfortable not finishing books I wasn‘t enjoying—and I very much succeeded in that goal 🏆
bailedAnother DNF, another Bingo, another TBR off the shelf! 😁
