Desperate Measures

Katee Robert

DID NOT FINISH: 33%

I usually enjoy Katee Roberts writing however this one just isn't for me. There is supposed to be a plot but I feel like there is a lot that we are missing context/plot wise, so the 'plot' around this doesn't hold up at all. Perhaps if there had been something showing a lead up it would have felt more grounded to me.

That Time I Took Down A Cult

Lost interest in this one as it slowed down heavily. The premise was great, but I just don't think this is for me right now.

Honkers Under the Holly

Amy Award

DID NOT FINISH: 39%

I don't know if I am reading this at the wrong time of year or if this would be better as an e-book than an audiobook but something about this one just isn't sticking. This Novella was a bit too 'insta-love' for my tastes. Even the characters internal monologues at about the 30% mark start swinging from 'this person is cute, I should give them a shot' to 'I will hinge my whole existence on this individual because I love them.'
Perhaps if the beginning of the book over and not just a few short days/weeks I would have been able to get into it more but for the time being I will be DNF'ing this one. Perhaps I will retry it around the holiday season again.

Her Body and Other Parties

Some of the stories were just not my cup of tea.

Maybe Not

Colleen Hoover

DID NOT FINISH: 6%

8 pages into the book but I can not stand Warren's behavior. It's obnoxious and childish, which feels completely contradictory to what was given in the synopsis.
