Happy Place

Emily Henry

DID NOT FINISH: 5%

I only made it a half hour into the audio. You can't introduce your "two best friends in the entire world" and then expect me to believe that they don't know that you broke up with your fiancee SIX MONTHS AGO. Those aren't friends. Also it's gross that he keeps touching her when he's the one who broke things off. No thanks.

Over the Edge of the World: Magellan's Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe

Laurence Bergreen

DID NOT FINISH: 86%

Made it 5 hours in to the audio but I'm too bored to continue.

Prince of Wolves

Quinn Loftis

DID NOT FINISH

The punctuation and grammar issues were horrendous but she lost me at "calvin cline". If you can't be bothered to double-check that it's Calvin Klein, I can't be bothered to suffer through your book.

So boring.

Stormbringers

Philippa Gregory

DID NOT FINISH: 21%

Just so boring. 70 pages in and there's so much focus on religion and they're all so pious I just can't continue.

The Paris Apartment

Lucy Foley

DID NOT FINISH: 27%

This was so boring. I could not even believe how boring it was. The full-cast audio was great, but not enough to save this lame story.

The Amber Room

Steve Berry

DID NOT FINISH: 22%

I read 88 pages and kept drifting off. The chapters were all like four pages long and I still struggled to finish one. So I skipped to the end to see if there was a good payoff, and just my luck, found the scene where Rachel was about to get assaulted. This one's not for me.

Still Life with Woodpecker

Tom Robbins

DID NOT FINISH: 5%

After reading an entire page of Robbin's weird stream-of-consciousness about how he thinks a woman thinks about birth control, I simply could not continue. This is the second Tom Robbins I've abandoned for the way he writes about women and there won't be a third.

The Viking's Chosen

Quinn Loftis

DID NOT FINISH: 7%

I almost stopped reading on page 12 when Torben says "neigh" instead of "nay" to indicate dissent.

I actually stopped reading on page 20 when Loftis uses "one in the same" when it should be "one and the same."

MY KINGDOM FOR AN EDITOR.

What Katy Did

DID NOT FINISH: 24%

I only made it 36 pages. I read some reviews to see if it gets better, only to learn it gets even worse.
