Trite self-satisfied self-help word salad. Did you know that the way to start is to start? I bailed when it got to “do or do not, there is no try.” I just can‘t.

5feet.of.fury Lol the Yoda quote 5h
fredthemoose @5feet.of.fury 😂 I was already underwhelmed but that was the point where I stopped the audiobook and returned the loan. 4h

I‘m disappointed in myself with for bailing on this one. There is an amazing amount of information, including photos and footnotes. I unfortunately can‘t seem to absorb everything properly. I‘m sinking in all the details and obvious back/forth that is required in order to get the whole picture of what was happening😢🤷🏻‍♀️

AshleyHoss820 I totally get this! I had the same issue with All the President‘s Men. Incredibly fascinating, but LOTS of information that my brain just didn‘t want to absorb. We can always try again another day! ☺️ 1d
DieAReader @AshleyHoss820 💯% agree! Quite interesting for sure but so info heavy that I keep getting different things confused. I‘ve been trying to get through it since December & 🤷🏻‍♀️it‘s just too much for my🧠 aparently. I‘ll check the 🎬movie out though for sure😏 24h

AshleyHoss820 @DieAReader Yes, definitely! I hear it‘s good! When my Mom was reading a book about Henry VIII‘s wives, I printed off pictures with notes for her, so she could use it as a reference. It happens to the best of us! 😂☺️ 21h
DieAReader @AshleyHoss820 I had my copy all post it covered & I was still struggling🤷🏻‍♀️🤭 21h
AshleyHoss820 @DieAReader The struggle is real!! 😂☺️ 20h

I had to bail on this one. I don‘t mind YA novels, but this is TOO YA for me. 🫤

I'm all for a character driven story & this one is well written in that way, but I got 4 hours into the audiobook & needed SOME plot to kick in. It's very slow moving & I had no idea where we were supposed to be heading. It got to the point that the main character was in a situation that had me 😬 & I bailed.
I've heard good things about this author & I did enjoy her writing style so I plan to try a different of hers for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

I don‘t think I‘ve ever bailed on so many books as this month. This is another one that started out great (a woman looking for her two granddaughters who went missing after their mother was murdered). Unfortunately it turned into a mix of dystopia, fantasy, and magical realism 😵‍💫
It was an audioread and maybe my English isn‘t good enough but I completely lost track of the storyline and frankly, I didn‘t bother, I just wanted it to be over.

Caroline2 It‘s CampLitsy syndrome. 😂 I‘m so excited about all the new books to look forward to that I‘m struggling to concentrate on my current reads. 4d
BookWrym All the things you don‘t like make me want to read this 🤣 4d

BarbaraBB @Caroline2 That could very well be it 🤣🤣 4d
BarbaraBB @BookWrym I know! I like all those genres too but this mashup was too much for me. But it‘s probably me, the book won the Canada Reads! (edited) 4d
Susanita Sometimes too much is TOO MUCH. 4d
squirrelbrain Definitely sounds too much! 4d
Suzze I started reading it because it was set in Detroit (where I live) and it won this year‘s Canada Reads (we get CBC tv here). I started it three months ago and am only 11% in. It never calls me. 4d
BarbaraBB @Suzze It has all the ingredients to be fantastic and I know many people do think it is so it is probably my/our state of mind 😀 4d
BennettBookworm I set a personal goal this year to DNF any books that weren‘t keeping my interest… and so far I have DNF‘d a LOT! 4d
Suet624 You‘re my bailing hero. 2d
BarbaraBB @Suet624 I always feel so stupid, bailing… 2d
Suet624 I know. I get that. But sometimes it‘s just gotta be done. 2d

Got 1/3 of the way through on my 2nd attempt. I'm just not following her arguments. Probably my fault.

How to write a fantasy-ish computer game recap with lots of gore, sexual content/violence, self-harm/suicide from a female POV and fail at it.

Davi is the centre of her universe. Whenever she dies she respawns at the beginning of her adventure and has been doing so for over a thousand years. Yes, that would blunt the edges of any of us, but she was too blunt to be likeable.

DNF @ 22% - there was nothing that enticed me to read on.

5feet.of.fury That‘s too bad, that‘s quite a title 5d

It pains me to bail on this because I started really liking it, but at about 50% on it just felt that I was reading about other people‘s lives and not hers.
