Again it is time for those poor books that just did not cut it.
Christmas at the Island Hotel by Jenny Colgan
I just did not feel it, and I always like Colgan. It was like too many people, too much of nothing
And that rich guy, son of Duke from Norway? What killed it there was that he wanted butter on his toast, just say butter, you don't have to say the Norwegian word, it is still butter
The merriest magnolia by Michelle Major
I am soooooooo bored
The diary of a bookseller by Shaun Bythell
Boring. Next!
Raven Black by Ann Cleeves
Trying to find another mystery to love. Fail
The blackhouse by Peter May
Nope, I just can't get into these other mysteries
Still life by Louise Penny
Nope, not this mystery either.
A touch of stone and snow by Milla Vane
Been trying to listen for 2 months, I can not get into it
Everyone brave is forgiven by Chris Cleave
No time for something not good
Here to stay by Adriana Herrera
It was the male narrator, I just could not understand him
Better luck in 2021!!
Whew, nothing on my TBR on this list.
ReplyDeleteA lot of random books
DeleteOh man. So many DNFs. The only book I know from your pile is Everyone Brave. It was certainly a not-so-happy book, I enjoyed it, though. I love WWII stories.
ReplyDeleteGood luck this year!
I fear the slow for me beginning put me off, so I put it away
DeleteI read The Bookshop on the Shore by Jenny Colgan and wasn't impressed so I'm not surprised. I had quite a few disappointments in 2020, too. Oh well, onto the next book! :)
ReplyDeleteIn audio it felt sloooow
DeleteBoring is not good.
ReplyDeleteYeah :/
DeleteI haven't read any of these. I sometimes listen to just a bit of a book and quite but don't think to keep track of those.
ReplyDeleteI have to cos else I end up reading them again, yes it has happened
DeleteI love these posts, but A touch of stone and snow by Milla Vane breaks my heart. It was my favorite book of 2020. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI know :/ I was sad too, I have no idea what happened, I just could not care
DeleteYou did great about quitting when it got tedious or you couldn't connect with the writing. Hopefully you'll find another good mystery series.
ReplyDeleteOne day!
DeleteAnd yes no time for not great
I haven't tried any of these
ReplyDeleteNo miss then
DeleteI dnf'd a lot (for me) last year! I kept thinking every time - Linda would be proud lol
