eeclayton If Charlotte Brontë had written it, William Price would never come back from sea 😂 Thank you @BarkingMadRead for hosting another fun buddy read! 1y

Deblovestoread You make reading along so fun! Thank you. 1y

TheBookHippie Thank you so much for all your work! Highlight of my mornings!! 1y

TheBookHippie @eeclayton This is why I love Brontë ? 1y

BarkingMadRead I‘m so glad you‘re all having as much fun as I am 🤣🤣 1y

Bookwormjillk Thank you so much #fearlessleader #andtheyalllivedhappilyeverafter #assumingtheydontdieatsea 1y

ravenlee Hooray! We made it! That was fun. 1y

Allylu You make reading these selections a blast! I look forward to the hashtags every day! 1y

BarkingMadRead @Allylu @Bookwormjillk @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread @Ruthiella thank you!! 1y

mcctrish #allswellthatendswell that was a frantic wrap up 🤣🤣 and @eeclayton I had that EXACT thought 🤣🤣 1y

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I enjoyed this one, but didn't LOVE it. Too many characters for me to really feel like I got to know anyone, and I'm honestly not totally convinced about the long-term happiness of any of the three main couples 😂 But still a fun little romp! 1y

julieclair Okay, full confession… I just could not get into this book, so it was a DNF for me. But I loved reading the hashtags and looking at the memes each day! Always good for a laugh! Great job hosting, as always. Thank you. 👍🏆🙌 1y

BarkingMadRead @julieclair #youdoyou 1y

rubyslippersreads I enjoyed this, but what made it really fun was reading it with all of you. 😊 1y

BarkingMadRead Thank you! @rubyslippersreads 1y

DebinHawaii This was cute & I‘m glad to get it off my Kindle TBR FINALLY! I‘m going to give it a soft pick for being early fan fiction & for sentimental reasons but I think a chapter-a-day with #hashtagbrigade & #PemberLittens was definitely the way to go as I don‘t think it had enough oomph on it‘s own. Thank you for the stellar hosting & all the fun @BarkingMadRead 😘 1y

Cuilin I really enjoyed reading along and seeing your posts, thanks @BarkingMadRead It was a delightful like not love for me. 1y

This was fun and funny, and at times incredibly moving. A compilation of stories from the LGBTQ community. Stories of love, and pride, and family, and human triumph. It‘s a fast listen, and one I would recommend to just about everyone. #PrideMonth

bailed

I‘m just gonna have to go ahead and break up with this book via a post-it note (since this book is set in the 90s and pre-texting). I couldn‘t care less about any of these characters. I‘m sorry but I can‘t. Don‘t hate me! 😀https://youtu.be/dDxmooLg1IM

Suelizbeth I applaud your abandonment! I have found abandoning books to be extremely freeing. Too many books, too little time for clutter. 7y

Tamra I'm in the minority a lot too! 👍🏾 7y

Dolly It's okay, really it's okay. 😄says the person who has not yet read the book🙄 7y

AmyG Never force a read when there are so many other pefect book matches out there for you! One person‘s 5 star book is another person‘s bail. ;) (edited) 7y

HKGirl 😲😢 Jk, I haven't read it yet so I have no idea if I'd like it or not. I did really like her first book though. Have you read that? If so, how do you think it compared? 7y

SheReadsAndWrites I haven‘t read it yet but I am SO with you on “if I don‘t care about the characters, I‘m out.” Too many books out there not to bail when you dont gel with the characters. #mytwocents 7y

Kshakal I love the reference to sex and the city... my favorite episode!! 7y

LauraBeth @Suelizbeth agree! I did make it to page 150 before calling it quits 😀 7y

LauraBeth @Tamra I guess we can‘t like every single book! 7y

LauraBeth @dolly I think this is a case where it‘s me and not the book 😀 7y

LauraBeth @Amyg very true! 7y

LauraBeth @HKGirl I read it forever ago and remember liking it and thinking it was sharp for a debut novel. I think this book is quality fiction - I‘m just not in the head space right now for it 7y

LauraBeth Exactly @SheReadsAndWrites. For me this just seemed like the author really wanted to write a New Yorker article about interracial adoption more than actually wanting to flesh out and inhabit these characters. 7y

LauraBeth @Kshakal you can‘t go wrong with Sex And The City 😀 7y

HKGirl @LauraBeth That makes sense! 7y

Tamra @LauraBeth 👌🏾 7y

Kshakal @LauraBeth so good!! One my all time favorites! 7y

TheLudicReader Oh dear, I was really looking forward to this book because I loved her first book. LOVED. 7y

Reggie I like this episode because later on they go to the new club BED where she sees 🍔‘s friends and makes a crazy show of herself. Lololol 7y

Reggie We missed you lots @LauraBeth. I‘m glad you‘re back. 7y

LeahBergen And I hope you actually slapped that post-it right on the cover? 😂 7y

Cinfhen Life's too short to wort about a bail! #YouDoYou 7y

LiteraryinPA I did that (bailed on a popular book) last week with The Secret History. Life's too short! 7y

bio_chem06 Did you read her other book?

Everything I Never Told You: A Novel

emilyhaldi I had to do the same thing yesterday with Sleeping Giants after getting to page 200. If you don‘t care, why waste the precious reading time! (edited) 7y

katrrosee Have you read Commonwealth? It‘s kinda the same theme - suburban drama - but the characters are a little different and have all sorts of weird motivations.

Commonwealth

Lmstraubie OMGosh! This post was fantastic! Seriously, I needed that laugh!! 7y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Thanks for that video though. I loved Sex and the City @LauraBeth 7y

LauraBeth @TheLudicReader oh hey - don‘t take my opinion of this too seriously! I can tell this is quality fiction 😀 I‘m just not in the head space for this type of story right now. 7y

LauraBeth @Reggie you‘re kind to say 😘 and YES! the BED episode 😂😂 7y

LauraBeth @LeahBergen 😂😂 7y

LauraBeth @Cinfhen exactly! 7y

LauraBeth @LiteraryinLititz It took me a long time to get comfortable with bailing on books everyone else loves! 😀 7y

LauraBeth @bio_chem06 I did read her first one and liked it! 7y

LauraBeth @emilyhaldi exactly! I think when I continue to read a book that I‘m not enjoying - then it tends to put me in a bit of a slump if I do actually finish it. 7y

LauraBeth @KatrinaRose I haven‘t read this and I love the premise! 7y

LauraBeth @Lmstraubie 😀😀 7y

LauraBeth @Joyfulmimi me too! 7y

Lord of the Rings | J R R Tolkein

Today's #readjanuary for me is a combination of DNFs and did not starts. These are all #bookseveryonehasreadbutme. I'm cool with that though! #notinterested #youdoyou

Suzze I started My Brilliant Friend. I think I made it 10 pages. I may (probably not) try again one day. 8y

B.Reader @Suzze I'm sure they are great for some but just sound so profoundly uninteresting to me! 8y

CrowCAH LOTR is a heavy read and the movies are very similar, so if you've watched them, you'll be good! 😉 8y

B.Reader @CrowCAH I actually DNFed the movies too! I just think that sword and sorcery fantasy is not really for me! 😊 8y
