No Friend but the Mountains: The True Story of an Illegally Imprisoned Refugee

Behrouz Boochani

DID NOT FINISH: 45%

I just really couldn't get into it. I tried, but it didn't work for me.

Loveless

Alice Oseman

DID NOT FINISH: 36%

Just wasn't really into the writing style.

Fairy Tale

Stephen King

DID NOT FINISH: 43%

Honesetly didn't love this as much as I thought I would. The premise was interstesting and I liked the dynamics between the different chracters. I'm not too entralled by the fantastical element though--it just doesn't hit right for me.

Sing Like Fish: How Sound Rules Life Under Water

Amorina Kingdon

DID NOT FINISH: 13%

Just wasn't for me. I didn't understand the difference between nature writing and science writing. Maybe I'll try again in the future.

The Museum of Ordinary People

Mike Gayle

DID NOT FINISH: 15%

It seems like a verysimple book, which is fine, I guess. Just not my type of story. And the main character is completely spineless and unlikeable. A great deal of her problems stem from her inability to communicate with her boyfriend and best friend. It's absolutely maddening how passive and inarticulate she is. You can't whine about stuff and make no attempt solve or even voice your issues/concerns.

Hellboy: Weird Tales

Mike Mignola

DID NOT FINISH: 29%

Just not the right book for me...

I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself

Marisa Crane

DID NOT FINISH: 35%

Usually I DNF because I want to read a book and ran out of time or wasn't in the right mood. I just can't stand to read this book, which is a shame because it seeme so promising. But, I'm at 35% and just am not enjoying myself, so I'm dropping it.

Ada's Room

I was trying to audiobook this but it's going to have to be a paperback or something.

The Girls

Emma Cline

DID NOT FINISH: 50%

It just wasn't doing it for me. I started this immediately after The Guest and this book just feels bit too similar and also not as good.

The Long War

Terry Pratchett, Stephen Baxter

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

It's just not for me right now.
