What to Expect the First Year

Heidi Murkoff

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

Funny thing, life gets busy with a one year old 😂😂 used the app and figured it out 

All Good People Here

Ashley Flowers

DID NOT FINISH: 8%

Not willing to read the details of child abductions and murder. 

The Seven Sisters

Lucinda Riley

DID NOT FINISH: 2%

Started this because it was a book club pick. Realized a) I couldn’t attend that day, and b) I wasn’t really feeling it. 

The Thousandth Floor

Katharine McGee

DID NOT FINISH: 3%

Did not finish. I read about 3% and honestly was easy to quit after the intro. Two things bugged me: the incest (which everyone is mentioning in their negative reviews) and the “it takes 3 minutes to fall off a 1000 story building”. It took me four seconds on google to verify my gut that this math is wrong. A few longer to get an estimate of actual time (25 seconds if no terminal velocity, which obviously matters, and still less than a minute with terminal velocity.) If they can’t get that kind of basic detail right and they don’t bother to even attempt to throw some futuristic “well the force fields every twenty floors slow the fall to an agonizing pace so we have more time to contemplate our imminent death” then I really see no hope. 
Note; I hate quitting books, I will leave them on my currently reading list for YEARS.
