Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths

Natalie Haynes

DID NOT FINISH: 19%

Too wordy and heavy for my liking. 

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart

Holly Ringland

DID NOT FINISH: 39%

Boring plot, two-dimensional characters and the story wasn't gripping me. 

Red Queen

Juan Gómez-Jurado

DID NOT FINISH: 35%

Unfortunately I became less invested in this as the story progressed. 

Selected Poems

Emily Dickinson

DID NOT FINISH: 14%

Nah. Not my kind of poetry. Give me contemporary, Amanda Lovelace, Nikita hill and rupi kaur any day 

Firekeeper's Daughter

Angeline Boulley

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

Unfortunately, I didn’t care much for this book due to the constant repetition of the mundane life of Daunis and her infatuation of Jamie. It’s a shame because I headed into that book to learn more about the struggles of dual origins and life

The Boy Who Steals Houses

C.G. Drews

Didn’t care for it. Felt forced

Cancelled Kindle Unlimited - no longer had access to reading it

Terrifying Tales

Edgar Allan Poe

DID NOT FINISH: 16%

Not to speak ill of the dead or anything but Poe to me is what cheap-ass chocolate tastes like on the tongue. Garbage. 

He sure loved his commas, didn’t he?! Ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️ It’s incredibly off-putting and - for me - the drawn-out sentences are complete nonsense. 

I know it was an “era” thing to use a shit-load of commas and overbearing long sentences and unfathomable English language but my autistic brain can’t deal with that stupid jargon. I’m done byee.

Now gimme me some Lindt. 

Fight Night
