Welcome to Litsy!

I used to really like Emily Giffin‘s books. But her last book and now this one I find myself asking why am I wasting time with these people. Not sure which of us changed, but I‘m done. I did read 100 pages, about a third, but I still wasn‘t interested in the girl who finds her soon-to-be husband cheating and her two best friends from college.

And, yeah, that's a big ol' #HailTheBail

I thought maybe 20 years after my first attempt to read this that I could actually do it. Nah-uh. Could bearly keep my eyes open for 15 pages 🥱

Thankfully, it's finally off my TBR shelf!

Just not in the mood for this one. I know so many love it. #hailthebail

It has been a DNF sort of month! But hey another #bookspinbingo

I am so sad about this #hailthebail I was really looking forward to it. I came across this book as a possibility for the Women's Prize for Fiction and scooped it up waiting for vacation to read. The premise is great, a woman traveling through time and telling stories through tattoos. I even love the cover. But the writing is not for me. Very disjointed and ethereal. I am just not enjoying trying to cobble it together.

I‘m bailing on this book. Made it half way through and just can‘t go on anymore. This book is like talking to one of your long winded friends on the phone where you can put the phone down, walk away for 10 minutes, and not miss a thing. Oh, and if you don‘t vote Democrat you‘re a facist and a racist. The MC is very unlikable and the whole social media basis of the book just makes me hate social media even more. I‘m out on this one ☝️ #hailthebail

I had high hopes but this was lame, nothing new here and the kind of gobbledygook that makes people dislike self help books. Next!

A bookish reminder from IG this morning.

I'm DNFing this about 44% into the book. I wanted more about Josephine Baker, and up to this point she seems to be playing a minor supporting role in the story. The author said in the preface that this wasn't a biography of Baker, but I expected a little more depth to the background given about her.

I sure am fussy. This one for me to page 124 and nope, can crawl no further inside. Time to pick up something else.
