Assassin's Apprentice

Robin Hobb

DID NOT FINISH: 80%

I could not make sense of the book, I hoped that would get better, but it just kept getting more confusing and I decided not to waste my time on trying to finish it

The Magic Legacy

Michael Anderle, Martha Carr

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

The story bounced around so much that I really didn't get a good understanding on what was going on

Bouncing Back from Rejection: Build the Resilience You Need to Get Back Up When Life Knocks You Down

Leslie Becker-Phelps

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

She mentioned how you have to fix stuff like financial issues first, but was like "do it by yourself, or you can call a friend or have someone professional help you" without any more explenation, and without giving any ideas on how to do that while you're also struggling with rejection and shame (and finances are often a part people feel shame about). Not interested in listening further

The Bone Witch

Rin Chupeco

DID NOT FINISH: 35%

It flipped between the present and the past in a very confusing way, I couldn't keep track of anything. And the parts that happened weren't particularly interesting

Murder on a Mystery Tour

Marian Babson

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

I could not follow the plot at all

I Don't Need Therapy: (and other lies I've told myself)

Toni Lodge

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

I didn't vibe with the self-deprecating style of her talking about her experiences (I know that might be shallow of me, but it just made me uncomfortable)

Happy Healthy Sober: Ditch the Booze and Take Control of Your Life

Foreword by Denise Welch, Janey Lee Grace

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

I thought it would be focused more on sobriety as a whole journey, but the focus was too much on eating healthy and I realized that's not the kind of book I want to read when it comes to sobriety. It feels to preachy to me.
