DNF @24% (Chapter 10) — So, this is a new author for me, and I was excited to read her for black history month. And it looked like this was going to be a bit of an ownvoices book too, so double yay! But right away I could tell the writing wouldn’t likely be a […]
DNF @ 26% (chapter 11) — I’m bummed about this, because this was going to be my November diversity read, and I was so excited because it’s an own voices book. And while I was finding it interesting to have an authentic look into Native Americans (or Indians as they call themselves in the book), […]
DNF @ chapter 10 (2 hours in): This one just wasn’t for me, for a few different reasons. It was seriously overly sweet in my opinion, or at least up until this point…like toothache sweet. There wasn’t a lot of conflict, which apparently I need something to keep me tuning in. And it wasn’t just […]
DNF @51% — So, I started this one and it immediately came across really dry for me. I just wasn’t captured by the voice of John at all. Basically I was underwhelmed. I also wasn’t super hot about the whole other woman thing at the beginning, but I kept pushing on. There were some interesting moments […]
DNF @ chapter 8 (24%) — Okay, I’ll be honest…this one was always likely to be a stretch for me, since I’m not actually into alpha assholes or bad boys. But I was intrigued by the blurb, and every once in a while I want to give books outside of my wheelhouse a try just […]
DNF @ end of chapter 6: So, there were parts of this that I was REALLY enjoying — their text message banter was actually really good! But there were a few things that made me give my phone the side eye, and then I went looking at reviews, and I figured I’d just cut my […]
This book meets the wibbly wobbly time travel space requirement for #SFvFBingo being hosted by Curiosity Killed the Bookworm. It seems like a great beginning but I kept losing focus and the storyline seemed to be too linear for me. It just felt a bit off and by the time I got to 30% I was […]
DNF @ chapter 15 — Yeah, perhaps it was a mistake to listen to this one *right* after finishing Obsidian. I think it would be better to read it when you’ve read more in the series and then you want extra. Because diving in right away, I felt like there was barely anything new added […]
DNF at 35%. I like it but she is super annoying. We have no reference for her strange jumps to conclusion and if I was him, I would have bailed a long time ago, He tells her how he is feeling and gives her background but we know next to nothing about her and its seems […]
DNF at 30 %, It was interesting but not interesting enough to keep me reading. And then I found out that it was a five book series and I’m not willing to become that invested for something that can’t hold my focus. The MC had depth and spine. But it just seemed that things were […]
