Evocation

S.T. Gibson

Even though I loved the Magick, witchcraft etc the characters and plot were dull 

The Wishing Game

Meg Shaffer

DID NOT FINISH: 31%

I couldn’t get into this one. The blurb sounded great but there was something off about the FMC for me. She annoyed me for some reason. 

Lies Like Poison

Chelsea Pitcher

DID NOT FINISH: 23%

I didn’t like this book. The teenage love triangles & the slow storyline was tedious. Not for me. It perhaps would’ve been a better book if the love triangle wasn’t in it. And witches instead of regular people. Lol

Fat Is a Feminist Issue

Susie Orbach

I can’t concentrate on this right now. I’m reading heavy fantasy and that’s taking up all my brain power 😂 

The Tiger and the Wolf

Adrian Tchaikovsky

DID NOT FINISH: 10%

Wasn’t for me. Couldn’t get into it and was far too drawn out even at page 58. Interesting concept, but failed to entertain me 

The Stepmother

Amanda Ashby, Sally Rigby

DID NOT FINISH: 25%

Couldn’t get into it and wasn’t arsed about any of the characters. 

The Pumpkin Spice Café

Laurie Gilmore

DID NOT FINISH: 28%

I’m too autistic for this unrealistic and OTT book and its characters. 

A Spell of Good Things

Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀

DID NOT FINISH: 39%

Whilst it’s not a bad book, it was a little hefty for me and I’m in the mood to read something else. When the mood hits right, I’ll come back to it because I do love the characters. But at this moment in time, I’m not feeling it. 

Gerald's Game

Stephen King

DID NOT FINISH: 43%

I can’t take away that King is great author but fuck, I can’t deal with the drivel and the slow moving plot. His books aren’t for me. I’m done. 

Killingly

Katharine Beutner

Too much of a slow burn, and the writing sometimes felt awkward to read fluidly.
