Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors: A Novel | Sonali Dev

bailed

Unfortunately bailing on this one for now. I might try the ebook once my hoopla borrows reset for May, but I've been slogging through this audiobook. I'm a third of the way and feel like barely anything has happened. Has anyone else read this one? Does the pace pick up at all?
I'm bummed because it was doing some cool things inverting the Darcy/Elizabeth characters that I was excited to see explored

Crinoline_Laphroaig Looked up my Goodreads Review. Bailed on this series awhile back. Liked parts of this one. Especially the food! Antagonism between main characters went on way too long. Also it was unbelievable how Dr. Trisha just blithely told any and everyone who asked about her patient's condition. Privacy??? 7h

Crinoline_Laphroaig Whole cousin who 'saw the future' was a weird addition. Also handling of the 'Big Secret' was problematic. 7h

When the Moon Hits Your Eye | John Scalzi

bailed

Stopped at 10%. Usually I love Scalzi, but i could not get into this story. Normally I fly through his pages, but I was creeping along with this one. Like reading just a few pages each sitting.

I wasn‘t looking forward to continuing, and even worse, I started dreading picking up my Kobo. That‘s when I knew to #DNF. Maybe I‘ll try again someday.

TheSpineView That has happened to me before too. 1d

MemoirsForMe After seeing this title, that song will be playing in my head today. 😁🎶 1d

Fight | Sloane St James

bailed

This is a very steamy book. It also a plot that I have read multiple times before, and the characters are not interesting enough for me to care. I made it 39% and I‘m done. #hailthebail

The Wedding People: A Novel | Alison Espach

bailed

Definitely in the minority on this book, but I lost interest halfway through. I didn‘t connect with any of the characters and the “I don‘t like this” vibes started to outweigh the “I love this!” vibes. #HailtheBail 🚀

dabbe YES! #hailthatbail! 🙌🏻 #betterbooksahead 3d

Aims42 @dabbe The #hailthebail hashtag is so empowering 😁💕 I started a new book and already it‘s a better fit 3d

The Intern: A Novel | Michele Campbell

bailed

The premise of this seemed fun, so I thought I‘d give it a try. Unfortunately, it‘s immediately completely ridiculous. I thought I‘d give it a little time to see if that improved and by 25%, it‘s still completely ridiculous. So I‘m all done.

American Pop: A Novel | Snowden Wright

bailed

Okay. This bail is 100% on me. I really wanted this to be a book version of the History Channel‘s “Food that Built America” show. This is not like that. Family drama, oh yes. Characters that are difficult to like? You betcha. I‘m glad I found my copy at Savers for $3.99 because that‘s exactly where it‘s going back to. #HailtheBail

Bound to the Battle God: A Fantasy Romance | Ruby Dixon

bailed

The enslavement of a main character just does not allow me to be invested in the romance. #hailthebail
Continuing a month of way too many DNF‘s 😣

The Antidote | Karen Russell

pan

After 43 days, I am calling it. I can‘t push myself any further. I tried the digital arc that I received, then I added the audio, then I added a print copy, in hopes that I would be able to push thru. I love this period of US History, but the slow meandering plot just did me in. Also, at this part of the book, some things were added to the story that I felt just slowed it down further and didn‘t make sense with where things were going. I read 👇🏻

intothehallofbooks the last few chapters and, honestly, I wish I‘d have stopped trying weeks ago. Many people love this one, so don‘t take only my word for it. It just sadly wasn‘t the book for me. Thanks to Knopf for allowing me to read this one. I love Dust Bowl stuff and it stinks that this one didn‘t work out for me. 1w

bookaholic1 At least you tried right..there's alot of books to read out there than continue reading one you can't get into 1w

intothehallofbooks @dabbe @bookaholic1 I should have bailed sooner! 7d

intothehallofbooks @Ruthiella I was curious about her other books before trying this one, but now I don‘t think I‘ll be picking them up 😬 7d

dabbe @intothehallofbooks Well, next time a book doesn't hit you in just the right way, #hailthatbail and get outta there! 🤣😍🤩 7d

Aims42 Thank you for the honesty. I was next in line on my library‘s wait list for this, but it does not sound like what I want to read right now. I canceled my hold, hopefully the person behind me is excited now 😄 6d

intothehallofbooks @Aims42 You can always go back to it if the mood strikes you! 5d

Aims42 @intothehallofbooks That‘s exactly what I thought too 😁👍 5d

Nebklvr If I hadn‘t paid full price, I would have ditched it happily. 5d
