DID NOT FINISH

I don't know if it's the book or the audio narrating that is so boring, but I'm marking this one unfinished at 1 hour 10 minutes.

Coyote V. Acme

Ian Frazier

DID NOT FINISH

I read half of this and didn't laugh once.

What Shall I Say?: A Guide To Letter Writing For Ladies

Unknown

DID NOT FINISH

I thought this would be a fun little old-fashioned read, but it's just a boring reprint of an old letter writing guide.

The Faerie Guardian

Rachel Morgan

DID NOT FINISH

Unfinished at page 55. Nothing wrong with the story, just super boring.

Spinning Silver

Naomi Novik

DID NOT FINISH

The point of view switching without any explanation is beyond obnoxious. Giving up at 1:42 because I don't care enough to guess who's speaking.

The Poetaster

Ben Jonson

DID NOT FINISH

18% of the book was an introductory history of Ben Jonson. I made it through Act 1, but even with that history I still felt like I had no idea what was happening. I'd maybe read an annotated version.

The Great Believers

Rebecca Makkai

DID NOT FINISH

This was unbelievably boring. Gave up on page 59.

The Devil's Children

Peter Dickinson

DID NOT FINISH

This was so boring. Abandoned on page 37.

Unnatural Magic

C.M. Waggoner

DID NOT FINISH

I tried so hard to finish this, I really did.

I gave up at 59% in the middle of a chapter. That's how painful this was. I have never given up on a book this late, usually managing to soldier on for dint of my pride and my read books list.

No more. This was fucking awful. There was no plot, no character development, and was populated by the flattest most disagreeable characters I've ever encountered.

David Copperfield

Charles Dickens

DID NOT FINISH

Too boring, even for bedtime reading. Maybe I'll pick it up again in the future. 18%.
