🎄: 5

I really tried, I had it 68% and I‘m DNFing. It is so boring and it feels like NOTHING has happened. I don‘t know if I‘ve read a fantasy that explains so much yet I still have no idea who is whom. Blah. #hailthebail

#roll100 off the TBR!

This one is me, not the book. I tend not to enjoy fiction set in Ancient Greece and this was no different. Glad I gave it a try at least. Don‘t let me deter anyone. #TOBlonglist

I am so sorry, Mercedes. But it‘s me, not you.

I‘ve been picking this up every night for almost two weeks, and I make it five or ten pages before getting bored.

Okay, so it‘s a little bit you, but I think I‘m going to have to file this as a #NotRightNow and try again later. 😅

#AllergictoChunksters inspired me to tackle The Last Magician again - I started it 2 years ago, and didn‘t make it very far. I was determined to get through it because, as you can see, I had slowly collected the rest of the series.

Ugh, I just can‘t do it y‘all. I reached page 100 this morning and called it quits. Turned it into a #ReadORDonate situation. My local library will be getting these to sell or loan out to other readers. #hailthebail

This was unfortunately disappointing. Advertised as a handbook of international winter folklore, it was neither entertaining nor informative. A lot of the entries were very similar, which is a result of cultures borrowing from each other, but the blurbs were too short to provide much information about the differences. The same can be said for the illustrations, which felt too similar to be interesting. DNF at 75%

Here‘s my review.

#hailthebail

Made quick work of my December #bookspin pick by…not finishing it. I knew this was headed for the DNF pile when I had to look up 10 words in the first few pages, and the unstable mother displayed a penchant for speaking in Shakespeare quotes. I have nothing against learning new words, but it felt very much like a book that was going to prioritize style over story, and I just don‘t have the energy for that kind of thing right now. Next!

I‘m so glad this was a kindle freebie because this is one of the worst books Iv read this year , it starts well but then disappears down the boring hole I found the world building tedious and at 259 odd pages still nothing has happened , I started to skim read it. I think romantasy books are either jam or marmite some are great some are truly awful and publishers are just desperate to publish more due to the current trend.not for me sorry

And that's a bail! Some interesting stuff, but a lot of stuff so over my head that I was just reading words with no meaning.

But, yay, got a bingo! 😁
