Could not get into the 3rd person POV. Not for me.

No plot and too all over the place 

The Romance Recipe

Such a shame to DNF but just a few chapters in and I dislike both main characters. I can't get into this at all. 

The Vacation

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

I couldn't keep track of the characters in the audio version. Maybe I'll come back another time. 

The Maidens

Alex Michaelides

DID NOT FINISH: 49%

The dullest "thriller" I've ever picked up. 

The Priory of the Orange Tree

Samantha Shannon

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

I forced my way through 100 pages and had no idea what was going on. I know this is becoming quite the beloved book, but it's not for me. 

How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy

Jenny Odell

DID NOT FINISH: 7%

One chapter in and I almost fell asleep listening. I think it's trying way too hard to be "intellectual." There is a way to write about psychology, sociology, studies, reports, etc. in an interesting way and this was not it. 

The Push

I found this dull and droning. I am not a fan of the constant changing timelines and child abuse. 

Craigslist Confessional: A Collection of Secrets from Anonymous Strangers

Although I appreciate every person who contributed their stories to this project, the book lacked guidance and clarity. The stories felt disjointed and it was missing the authors voice in between stories. No point in continuing for me.
