bailed#unpopularopinion I've seen a lot of good reviews for this, but I'm finding it boring and I can't get into it. I'll definitely hold on to it, maybe give it a try again at a later date.

#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain
Current #librarybook that I‘m reading on my new Kobo! Do you use an e-reader? I love it for reading at night and limiting my blue light exposure.
Even though it‘s winter, we‘ve had some warm days and I‘m craving books set in a cold and snowy place!
I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

Planned weekend reading, as well as finishing the tagged.

pickI hit my reading goal with this one!
Chilling and bleak with George Saunders vibes. I‘d had this on my shelf for years and glad I finally read it as Atwood is a master of dystopian fiction. I wish there was a little more depth to the relationships though.
bailedYeah, this is bad. The writing is way more tell than show. I gave it the good ol‘100 pg try and couldn‘t. I made to 25 years into the future where there are 3 settlements and the first one we read about he keeps writing there, you‘re like family. Everyone there, they‘re family. They hugged because everyone there, they‘re like family. I just started laughing. Shoutout to Olive Garden‘s marketing because when you‘re there, you‘re family. Lol👇🏼
panThis was one I was excited to read even before the #tob24 long list came out. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. Great ideas, interesting setting, but ultimately the author has too many unanswered questions and giant cavern sized plot holes.
And don't even get me started on that terrible ending! 🤦♀️ I will be surprised if this makes the shortlist.
