Mehso-so

It was free on kindle unlimited; a reimagining of Peter Pan. It was very dark with icky sex and the MCs were one-dimensional and annoying. I gave up 2/3 of the way-not for me.

Bailed at 25% when it became apparent that there are no swashbuckling lady pirate adventures here, just a below average bodice ripper that happens to be set on a pirate ship.

I had high hopes for this book, but I‘ve DNF‘d about 40% through. The flashbacks and inner monologue of the four main characters keep pulling me out of the story. The murders are so overlooked/unmentioned that I keep forgetting it a “murder mystery”.😢 I quit when I found myself starting to skim.

After 136 pages I'm out. It's just not holding my interest. #HailTheBail

This concludes my #AllergicToChunksters challenge. Thank you @julieclair for helping me get 3 huge books off my TBR shelves!! 🙏🏼💕

TheAromaofBooks I know many people love Kingsolver's books, but I have tried three and haven't been able to finish any of them, so she just must not be a good fit for me. 5d
TheBookgeekFrau @TheAromaofBooks She's hit or miss for me now. I loved her earlier books, but either her writing style changed, or I did 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5d

Bailedbailed

A graphic history of the development of drawing from prehistory to the present sounded like it was right up my street, but having persevered through 132 pages (58%), I was bored and bailed.

I felt like I was still reading the first book and kept waiting for something to happen. Gave up at 40%

This one is very slow going. For now it is a bail simply because I'm getting too behind. I will revisit down the road when it is available at my library some day.

Love the cover, but nothing is happening! I‘m all about love at first sight trope, but this was even too much for me.

Kar2b @dabbe I love those hashtags! 1w
