The Beautiful and Damned

F. Scott Fitzgerald

the main characters were just too damn insufferable!

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Truman Capote

DID NOT FINISH: 33%

Will come back to this. Forgot too much to pick up from where I was. Remember too much to restart. 

Gorbachev: The Man and His Era

William Taubman

DID NOT FINISH: 31%

Really interesting but a lot to wade through.

Hons and Rebels

Jessica Mitford

DID NOT FINISH: 29%

Interesting. But I think I've had my fill of the Mitford sisters for  the time being. 

Ugly Love

Colleen Hoover

DID NOT FINISH: 41%

Couldn't bring myself to finish this. 


Just
COULDN'T 

The writing style was beyond irritating and felt like it had come straight from Wattpad circa 2010. The constant use of clichéd similies wouldn't have been out of place in a medicore secondary school creative writing essay. The adult characters were behaving and speaking like literal teenagers...dialogue was so unbelievable. To be honest, I'm doubting that Colleen Hoover has ever interacted with a human over the age of fifteen. 

Mrs. Dalloway

Virginia Woolf

DID NOT FINISH: 39%

Beautifully written. Just not feeling it right now.

Tarantula

I really liked what I did read...but am not in the right head space at the moment for such an abstract novel. 

All Quiet on the Western Front

Erich Maria Remarque

DID NOT FINISH: 36%

Too dark for right now

T2 Trainspotting
