Interesting Facts About Space

Emily Austin

DID NOT FINISH: 5%

I can't do the stream of consciousness style writing, and the main character already seemed wildly annoying. 

The Ministry of Time

Kaliane Bradley

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

There were so many characters (that are referred to by both name and year they came from) that it got super confusing trying to keep them straight. I didn't understand where the story was going and what the main plotline of the book was. It started off funny, but I just wasn't invested. 

The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year

Ally Carter

DID NOT FINISH: 51%

This was so unbelievably cheesy in the worst way. It's trying way too hard to be enemies to lovers. I don't understand how so many thriller and mystery lovers are reading this...there was no mystery and focused on the bad romance instead. I don't understand the appeal. 

Chasing the Boogeyman

Richard Chizmar

DID NOT FINISH: 43%

Couldn't get into this one as an audiobook, I might try later as a physical book. 

The Pink Hotel

Liska Jacobs

DID NOT FINISH

Made it to page 80 before I DNF'd it. The story is so confusing and hard to follow, and the characters are horrible.

Small World

Laura Zigman

DID NOT FINISH

DNF at 42%. This was so boring and hard to follow. It changed from first to second to third person and was interspersed with poems, which I really hated.

Under the Influence

Noelle Crooks

DID NOT FINISH

DNF at 217 pages. I couldn't get into this at all, the characters were all unlikeable and the plot was super dull. I wanted to like this so much because I love stories about social media and influencers!

Granite Harbor

Peter Nichols

DID NOT FINISH

I tried so many times to get into this book, but I just couldn't. There were so many characters that I couldn't keep track of them all, and that made the plot super confusing. The beginning is super slow and the timeline jumps around. DNF at 30%.
