Welcome to Litsy!

I read 4 chapters in 30 days because I had to force myself to read this. The discomfort isn't worth the effort. This is just not for me. Since I tried this for #withthebanned, I will say that just because it doesn't work for me doesn't mean it doesn't have value for others. Book bans are stupid.

After multiple attempts, I have to add it to the DNF pile. I need someone or something to care about. It feels harsh, but I do not care about these characters.

I bailed on this one. I have read a lot of her books, and this is the first one I have bailed on. I couldn't get into it.

I was quite excited to read the book and was eagerly waiting for its release. After reading a substantial portion of it I think I may not be the audience for this, or maybe I'm not the right audience to appreciate it. This book was rather boring to me. The writing is good, but I found the characters blurring together and the plot dull. I did not like the Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors too. I feel the genre isn't for me I guess.

This one is a big fail for me, not holding my attention at all. It saddens me because I had high hopes for this one.

Bailing at 21%

I was grabbed by the cover of this and went in blind. Early on, it seemed like it was going to be an exploration of language, but at the halfway point it‘s doing nothing for me, so I‘m out.

I‘ve tried multiple times to read Blake‘s books. I can‘t get very far into them. They seem emblematic of a trend in urban fantasy and dark academia that I deeply dislike. To wit, it‘s just wealthy people. Wealthy people who are into finance, and finance is somehow magic? Its boring. The magic they do, their concerns, their relationships are deeply uninteresting. But I haven‘t finished any of her books. Maybe they get better?

I‘m bailing, not because the topic is uninteresting but it‘s a very dry read.

I do not care that I will probably end up eating this pumpkin cheesecake by myself.
And I do not care that I bailed on another book.
