Mujeres que corren con los lobos

Clarissa Pinkola Estés

DID NOT FINISH: 8%

definitely not for me
no soy lo suficientemente YuJu 
aunque también te digo, parte de mí piensa que estaba predestinada a dnf it porque lo he parado exactamente donde lo dejó mi madre hace 25 años (fin del capítulo 1, antes de empezar el 2)

Orbital

Samantha Harvey

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

Divine Rivals

Rebecca Ross

DID NOT FINISH: 44%

i can't stand the writing style. I felt like I could have written it and i am not a professional writer. Or as if it was written by an alien trying to imitate how humans think and speak. 

awfuk. corny. clichéd.

Vilest Things

Chloe Gong

DID NOT FINISH: 45%

yay, i admit it, i didn't do a reread of the first one and even if the ending of that one left me hooked, 100+ pages in of the first i m not interested in any part of the plot or characters or anything so......sorry. yet another chloe gong try, and fail

S. El barco de Teseo

Doug Dorst, J.J. Abrams

DID NOT FINISH: 33%

creí que con un puente me bastaría para hacer la lectura normal y la relectura (anotaciones y nick-nacks) de este libro…….pero no. verdaderamente este es un "libro de vacaciones"

El secreto

Donna Tartt

DID NOT FINISH: 51%

im not in the right headspace or situation for reading to be something that tires me and that i have to almost force myself to do. i need reads that motivate me and make me escape and this is not it. not because of its tone or theme (i chose to start it specifically because of that), but rather because the characters feel to rigid and stone-like to me, i couldn’t care about any of them, and so the book wasn’t entertaining or gripping me at all

La mujer nueva

Carmen Laforet

DID NOT FINISH: 10%

parecido pero peor y más aburrido que La Plaza del Diamante i think

Here Lies The Heart

Mercedes De Acosta

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

ufffff…….. i mean, yeah, i get it, the girl is crushing bad for their fellow artistic badass girlies, good for you Mercedes
meanwhile im in finals week and my attempts at crawling out of this reading slump are more tiring than the actual slump in itself 

Throne in the Dark

A.K. Caggiano

DID NOT FINISH: 53%

am too down bad for slowburns at this point?

La idiota

Elif Batuman

DID NOT FINISH: 42%

its so so boring and i found it very emotion-less, but also lacking any plot or interesting thought or characteristic writing style
i just felt like i did know the character and the story was not engaging at all

So I preferred to put it aside and maybe try again at some point
