I don't usually bail on a book, but there are a few that I just can't finish. This is the last one that I #DNF. I just didn't like the writing style, although a lot of people on GoodReads seemed to. Just not for me. #readjanuary

Reviewsbylola Darn, I had added this one to my TBR. 7y
Redwritinghood @Reviewsbylola A lot of people on GoodReads liked it, so you might try it if you can find a copy at the library. 7y

Bailedbailed

I told myself that I would read this at least to the halfway point before I bailed. Well, I can't make it that far. I don't care for the writing style, which seems really overblown. So many words and sentences that go on and on and hardly anything happens! Sorry, but I just can't read any more of this one.

B.Reader No need to be sorry--too many books out there to waste time on something that doesn't work for you! 7y
Redwritinghood @B.Reader I only feel bad that a lot of people stacked this one when I first put it up. That always seems to happen when a lot of people stack one of my books - I end up hating it. 7y

First new book of the new year! I was saving this one for 2017 as it hits the micro press box on the Read Harder challenge for 2017.
