The Book of Speculation

Erika Swyler

DID NOT FINISH

Honestly, I couldn't get past the first chapter. The story never engaged me, and the narrator already seemed like a marytr. 😔

Lucky Bet

Anna Reader

DID NOT FINISH

I couldn't get past how anachronistic the main character was, and ended up dropping this book about half way through. 😔

The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic

Emily Croy Barker

DID NOT FINISH

I think I'm giving up on this book. The heroine isn't a "thinking woman" and I feel like this is the author's stereotype of Millennials rearing its ugly head. Too reactive, too willing to blame everything on everyone else, and I don't think I can stand the remaining 2/3 of the book since it doesn't seem like the character grows much (I jumped to the last chapter to see what I was in for).

Glamour in Glass

Mary Robinette Kowal

DID NOT FINISH

I made the mistake of jumping ahead in the book and found something triggering for me. I like the characters so I've decided to not finish this one and move onto the next book in the series.

The Book Thief

Markus Zusak

DID NOT FINISH

I'm taking a break from this book because it's pretty dark.
