bailed

I used to be such a Rushdie fan but I can‘t finish this one. I just can‘t concentrate on this fairytale-like story. It‘s not him, I knew what to expect. It‘s me 🤷🏻‍♀️

sarahbarnes I used to love him too, and I haven‘t wanted to read him for a long time. 1mo

Ruthiella Sometimes you have to break up with an author. 1mo

Lindy Moods change. Tastes change. It doesn‘t matter the reason: Bailing = care for our own mental health. 1mo

BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes 👯😀 1mo

BarbaraBB @Ruthiella Apparently. I admit I was afraid on forehand that I wouldn‘t love his writing anymore. I had postponed reading him for a long time 1mo

BarbaraBB @Lindy You are very right. The older I become the more I think bailing is okay 😀 1mo

LeahBergen What @sarahbarnes said! Me, too. 1mo

squirrelbrain I should remember that @Lindy - thank you! I *still* force myself to finish a book once started. 1mo

squirrelbrain I listened to this and it worked for me - perhaps the fantastical style suits audio better. 1mo

BarbaraBB @LeahBergen I feel the same way 1mo

dabbe #allhailthebail! #betterbooksahead 🤩 1mo

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain I can imagine that audio works better but my mind kept wandering, I just couldn‘t concentrate on what Inwas reading. I am sorry for that. I know you loved it and Cindy did too. I guess I would too but I just couldn‘t do it 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

Lindy @squirrelbrain I guess stick-to-it-iveness has its own rewards. 1mo

Readerann Since I bought this, I‘ll probably read it eventually. Sadly, I doubt Rushdie has another Midnight‘s Children in him. That remains one of my all-time favs. 1mo

BarbaraBB @Readerann I think you‘re right. I loved that one. The Satanic Verses too and some more of his works published in those years 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

Suet624 I‘m proud of you for knowing when to bail. 1mo

Hooked_on_books I bailed on this one, too. I couldn‘t get into it at all. 1mo

BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books That is reassuring to be in good company! 1mo

My Year of Rest and Relaxation | Ottessa Moshfegh

I don‘t know WTF this was or even what it was supposed to be. As far as I can tell, it‘s just the unnamed MC acting like a privileged little twatwaffle. Literally nothing happens beyond her trying to drug herself into oblivion so that she doesn‘t have to deal with life. I would‘ve bailed if not for #pop24.

The Thursday Murder Club | Richard Osman

pick

I enjoyed this but the plot/mystery was kinda complicated and there were so many characters to keep track of. The 4 members of The Thursday Murder Club were wonderful characters though! Giving it a soft pick.

The Good Part | Sophie Cousens

pick

Loved this one! I laughed so much but also had many feels, as some heavy subjects were dealt with. Lucy, 26, does not have her life in order. Broke, a string of horrible dates, and a dead-end career has her wishing to skip to the good part of her life, where she has money, her person, and the career of her dreams. Her wish is granted, and suddenly Lucy is 42, but she starts to wonder if perhaps all of life‘s ups and downs are the good parts.
