The Husband Hoax

Saxon James

DID NOT FINISH: 18%

Didn't vibe with the characters - I'm not a fan of the ridiculously clumsy-cute trope.

People We Meet on Vacation

Emily Henry

DID NOT FINISH: 18%

I just really do not care for second chance romances, even if the first chance wasn't quite a romantic relationship.  I can appreciate that the author was attempting to show us all of their relationship (through time jumps), as that is one of the reasons I'm not a fan. However, I didn't vibe with the characters enough to buy in.

Dead Speak

Pandora Pine

DID NOT FINISH: 15%

Copaganda with too many of the off-putting aspects of fanfiction without enough of the good aspects to keep me going. Starting the book with one of the main characters as an alcoholic cop who killed a man "in the line of duty" did not endear me.

Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man

Mary L. Trump

DID NOT FINISH

Got about half-way and lost interest. Maybe one day I'll pick it back up. 

The Complete Letters of Oscar Wilde

Merlin Holland, Oscar Wilde, Rupert Hart-Davis

DID NOT FINISH

This book was one I would peruse at the library when I was there for hours on end studying, using it as a break between subjects. As the library is currently closed for browsing until further notice, I'm gonna shelve it for now.

It Must've Been Something I Ate: The Return of the Man Who Ate Everything

Jeffrey Steingarten

DID NOT FINISH

After about 150 pages, Steingarten tipped over the edge into insufferable, after starting out as cautiously entertaining. I couldn't take more hyperbolic descriptions of food interspersed with casually offensive remarks about women or the name-dropping, though I should have expected the latter from a Vogue writer, I suppose.
