Welcome to Litsy!

I don‘t know if it‘s Maggie Gyllenaal or the story but I can go no further. With 25h 39m to go, I‘m throwing in the towel (for now). This is going on the #DNF pile of maybe, I‘ll come back to it. #audio #christyread #audible

Walking away from my October #doublespin with a #dnf - a rarity for me. I‘m not enjoying it and am just trying to power through. Time to just walk away at (just under) the halfway mark.

Continuation of my earlier post - I love the narrator's voice, however it does not match or do this novel justice. It quickly becomes monotonous & bland.

I also don't care for any of the characters, which is intentional & most of the time I can look past those flaws.

I've seen so many mixed reviews about this book, some stating it's a fantastic read and others saying it's a waste of time.
Has anyone else read this one?

I'm really struggling with this book. The audio version is just awful. This is the first book in several years where I'm considering not finishing. I'm about 2 hours in and listening to this is making me tense and slightly irritable.

When dialogue is made up of "he said," "she said" and "they said," over and over again, I can't really enjoy any of the story.

Day 19 #DNF not sure why, I was interested in the sound collection idea but....

According to Goodreads, I started reading this book in March 2020 and made it to 13% before losing interest. Clearly something else began to distract me around that time….😉 I will definitely get back to this eventually, but for now it languishes along with my other unread #BOTM books.

While clearing out some shelves the other day I ran across this unread book. Back in 1991 I read my first book by this author, which I remember enjoying a lot. I have nothing against zombies or horror but, unlike the other book, this book I really couldn‘t “stand”. #DNF

I may go back and try to finish it, but I did nail. I‘m about 100 pages in (of almost 600) and don‘t feel a connection to the plot or the characters. #DNF #Bail #disappointed

This was definitely a “blame it on the cover”. What started as a friendship between a 6 yr old and a 13 yr old quickly became a romance between an 11 yr old and an 18 yr old. Not interested 👋🏼

This book was not for me. I just kept thinking, “this is sooo bad. Oh god, she‘s going off on another tangent!” And I didn‘t get the point of the book or how the various stories related to the chapters they were inserted in. I wanted to throw the book against the wall! I finally decided it would be best to bail on it and read something I actually enjoyed.
