Bailedbailed

I tried I really did! Made it halfway through this #chunkster but it‘s just too much work and not enough payoff. I struggle to get through each chapter 😖 anyone else have trouble with this one?!

AmyG Me. I bailed on this one. 6y
RaimeyGallant Haven't attempted it yet. 6y
emilyhaldi @Cinfhen I suppose its to be expected that I wouldn‘t like this since you loved it 😜 I had such high hopes!! But alas, it‘s just not for me. 6y

emilyhaldi @AmyG good to know I‘m not alone! (edited) 6y
Cinfhen No!!!! 😭😭😭We are usually in #booksync 👯‍♀️oh well... U gave it a fair chance but it‘s really a brilliant book (edited) 6y
emilyhaldi @Cinfhen while I couldn‘t get into the story, I‘m totally amazed by James‘ ability to write in so many different voices, and his knowledge of that time period is seriously impressive!!! 6y
Blaire I started it in a doctor‘s waiting room last year which was not the ideal setting for a complicated book. I #bailed but hope to try again. I only got about 50 pages in. 6y
quietjenn Yes. Technically I haven't given up yet (this is my second or third attempt) but I also haven't actually picked up in months ... And I'm not nearly as far asking as you. 6y
Mdargusch I‘m surprised @Cinfhen liked this and you didn‘t. 🤔 6y
Reviewsbylola Glad you finally called it quits. 6y
BarbaraBB I had that trouble too but there was this moment when things came together and I ended up loving it. But looking back I am surprised I hold on that long. I can totally understand your bailing! 6y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another free download from audiobooksync.com and to be honest I did NOT expect to like this one; I am not big on love stories & most “overcoming challenges” stories are trite, sappy and overly “preachy” for me. This book however, was very well written with characters who had realistic and believable reaction and responses to events and the sarcasm and humor were spot on as a contrast to the serious issues being raised. LOVED IT!

EJG31 I just started my download from #booksync too as I finished When Dimple met Rishi. 6y
callunakeep @EJG31 I hope you enjoy it!! It had me laughing out loud at times, and deep in serious thought at others!! I really enjoyed it!! 6y

Thanks for the tag @Lizpixie I'm stingy with stars, so I'm really hoping these books will make the cut #FiveStarPredictions⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️what 5 books from your TBR have 5star potential?!?

azulaco Definitely 5 stars for 7y
Cinfhen Yay 😊 good to know @azulaco it's been lingering in my TBR pile for years!!!!! 7y
emilyhaldi I see two #botm ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ winners for me in that mix!! This book is part of my #tbrbingo 😄 7y
Hooked_on_books I have read the top 2 and they definitely get 5 stars from me. Poisonwood is one of my all time favorites. 7y
Cinfhen I'm meant to do a #buddyread of Angela's Ashes with @TrishB at some point. You should join us @emilyhaldi ~ it's on my #TBRbingo too!!! 7y
Cinfhen I'm excited to know I have some winners lined up @Hooked_on_books ☺️ 7y
L_auren This is an awesome prompt. I too predict 5 stars for Heart's Invisible. For me Poisonwood was a solid 5 stars. But scissors was 1 star 😳 7y
Cinfhen Yikes @L_auren 🙄so many Littens gave it oodles of #LitsyLove ~ can't wait to see where I fall! 7y
TrishB We'll get there! Hearts is awesome ❤ 7y
Laalaleighh Ooooh I read running with scissors years ago Bc it was the only book on the shelf at a condo we were at and I don't remember much about it but I do remember really enjoying it. I love that we both have an Amor Towles on our list and I'm so hyped by Invisible furies that I have to put some weeks/months distance between me and all the gushing review so that I don't go into it with crazy high expectations. Great list! 7y
erzascarletbookgasm Love your choices 7y
Reviewsbylola I've read all five! Poisonwood and Moscow were four stars but the rest were five! 7y
blondie Yessss. Running With Scissors is so amazing. ♡ 7y
Cinfhen Hey @L_auren check out the comment by @blondie 👆🏽😉😊 7y
Cinfhen Wow @Reviewsbylola are we gonna be in #booksync ?!?! 💗thanks @erzascarletbookgasm I'm excited for these 5!!!! Hope they don't disappoint 🙄 7y
Hollie A Gentleman in Moscow is 5 stars for sure and while I'm not far in the Boyne novel, I can already tell it's a 5 star as well!! Good choices! 7y
kspenmoll Think you have 5 star hits!!! read all but 7y
emilyhaldi Yes! @Cinfhen @TrishB definitely let me know when you're starting 7y
emilyhaldi Also, I'm with @L_auren on this book... it just wasn't for me 7y
emilyhaldi Adding to my TBR!! 7y

Mehso-so

WTF? This was a relatively short read, easy to digest (😉) with tasty, juicy dialogue BUT incredibly bloated with excessive descriptive language. It doesn't really satisfy, like that doughnut 🍩 it's good for the first three bites and then you're regretting it the rest of the day 😜2.5/5 stars #TeamEmily sorry @Reviewsbylola

emilyhaldi Add one more point to the scoreboard!! ✏️ Really happy that @Reviewsbylola is enjoying this so much, but also VERY surprised! 7y
Reviewsbylola Something about it is just clicking with me. I can't explain it. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ @emilyhaldi @Cinfhen 7y
Cinfhen I was addicted to the writing and storyline @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi but the book as a whole was not satisfying! Let's see how Steph feels when she reaches page 209 7y

L_auren @Reviewsbylola hang in there, it was a pick for me!! 7y
Reviewsbylola Uh oh, that makes me nervous @Cinfhen but I'm already thinking they will find no trace of GJ. If that's the case, I don't think I'll mind. 7y
Reviewsbylola It's definitely heading to a pick for me. Hopefully I stay #teamlauren @L_auren 7y
Cinfhen Ha 😂I'm thinking as much as I love @L_auren I don't think we're in #booksync very often 🙄🤔 @Reviewsbylola I'm glad it's holding your attention - what are you guys reading next??? Have u honed in on your #BOTM choices for September?!? I'm definitely getting the Ng & Ward (I think 😬) 7y
Reviewsbylola No one has weighed in yet but I'm getting those two plus Emma in the Night. I plan on reserving the other two from the library. 7y
L_auren @Cinfhen I agree! We may be better predictors of what the other WONT'T like 😂 7y
mrozzz Love the pic though! 7y
