The Water Outlaws

S.L. Huang

I might come back to this another time, but am not really feeling it rn. 

The Byways

Mary Pascual

DID NOT FINISH: 3%

I just really hated what little I read of this and could not imagine trying to finish it. 

Emergent Properties

Aimee Ogden

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

I just couldn't get into this. I don't read blurbs now, so am not sure what I was expecting, but this was not it. 

The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher

E.M. Anderson

DID NOT FINISH: 9%

DNFing after 5 chapters. I just really hate everything about this. It reads like MG fiction, and I hate all of the characters. Feels very "we have The Last Dragonslayer at home."

The Memory of Animals

Claire Fuller

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

I will probably come back to this bc it wasn't bad at all, I just wasn't in the mood for it rn. 

Thief Liar Lady

D.L. Soria

DID NOT FINISH: 3%

I just really wasn't into Aislinn's voice, and the thought of 400 more pages reading it made me want to rip my hair out preemptively. 

Threads That Bind

Kika Hatzopoulou

DID NOT FINISH: 6%

I might come back to this at some point, but I couldn't get into it and it had to go back to the library.  

When We Hold Each Other Up

Phoebe Wagner

DID NOT FINISH: 38%

I really wanted to like this, but just couldn't get into it. 

The Daughters of Izdihar

Hadeer Elsbai

DID NOT FINISH: 21%

I might come back to this before it has to go back to the library, but probably won't. It reads like it's for a much younger audience than it's supposed to be.  If I wanted ATLA, I would have just watched that again.  

Meet Us by the Roaring Sea

Akil Kumarasamy

DID NOT FINISH: 10%

I enjoyed the second person tense, but was not really interested in the actual story.
