World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

Max Brooks

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

I didn't realize this is the extremely abridged version, it was labeled but not in a super obvious way 😆
Switching to the less abridged "complete" version

The Writing Retreat

Julia Bartz

DID NOT FINISH: 31%

I legitimately don't care about any of the characters or anything that's happening, and I don't want to keep watching the author trip over herself trying to talk about race or sexuality. This isn't particularly well written

Natural Beauty

Ling Ling Huang

DID NOT FINISH: 63%

Intensely uncomfortable with the sexual tones and scenarios of this book, they're dubcon and noncon

Tomorrow, when the War Began

John Marsden

Badly written, I'm not going to be able to suffer through that

The Road

Cormac McCarthy

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

I can't handle tortured kids. I knew going in it would be hard, but I'm choosing not to do this to myself. Self-care, y'all 😆

Practical Magic

Alice Hoffman

DID NOT FINISH: 42%

Not really up for the tension between the sisters

Mexican Gothic

Silvia Moreno-Garcia

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

The main character is annoying, the side characters are absolutely insufferable, and the narration is flat. Just not enjoying this at all

What Moves the Dead

T. Kingfisher

DID NOT FINISH: 6%

That narrator isn't going to work for me, try the ebook 

Revelator

Daryl Gregory

DID NOT FINISH: 0%

Just not into it 

Children of Lovecraft

Ellen Datlow

DID NOT FINISH

Not really enjoying the genre, I think
