The Flight Attendant

Chris Bohjalian

DID NOT FINISH: 33%

I went as far as the first stopping point for bookclub and it was painful. 

Characters suck, writing is awful. 
We as a bookclub decided not to continue because the majority didn’t enjoy what they read. 

The Heir

Sophie Lark

DID NOT FINISH: 3%

These people are in high school. 
The book was recommended to me but I’m an adult, and I can’t get past it once someone told me it’s a spicy book. Just no thanks. 

Minnow Trap

Brian Horeck

DID NOT FINISH: 45%

I was so excited for the idea of this book. But it was …. Just not it. 


Black Leopard, Red Wolf

Marlon James

DID NOT FINISH: 5%

I started listening to this audiobook. 
But I should know better by now that fantasy books like this with a lot going on in the beginning I need to read vs listen. So I will come back to it. 

The City of Brass

S.A. Chakraborty

DID NOT FINISH: 15%

Just wasn’t feeling it. 

Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders

Vincent Bugliosi

DID NOT FINISH: 6%

I’m going to shelf it for now.
The fact that each part isn’t broken up into chapters is daunting. And I’m not feeling long sections right now. 

A Wish Too Dark And Kind

M.L. Blackbird

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

Honestly, each beginning chapter ‘introduces’ the characters but yet. You don’t know who is being introduced and what you’re supposed to be learning. It’s all I’ve the place. 


Here’s where I learn that just because I like the synopsis and the cover doesn’t mean the book is going to be enjoyable. 


Dear Wife

Kimberly Belle

DID NOT FINISH: 22%

Honestly, it’s just boring. 

Coldheart Canyon: A Hollywood Ghost Story

Clive Barker

DID NOT FINISH

I really just could not get into this book. I might try again, but right now it needs to be shelved.

The Only Good Indians

Stephen Graham Jones

DID NOT FINISH

I was not feeling the book when I started it and instead of pushing through because I am really looking forward to this book, I shelved it until this year.
