DNF Time

Highland Velvet

Feisty Highland Lady must marry an Englishman, they will argue and have smexy times.

I remember getting this one and being all, it will rock! Damn it girl, why did you not read it then! When I was a teen, when I did not realize that the language is stilted, no flow and I just can't bother with crap like this.

Note to self, my old books obviously does not work for me anymore. If I was to read in my own language, better try something like translated yesterday.

The Velvet Promise

Feisty English Lady must marry, they will argue and have smexy times.

Maybe it could be good, maybe not. After having tried the other book I tried this one too. Horrid writing again. Yes, this is why I left translations to their bitter faith. I wish I had read this one 10 years ago. But now, omg, bad bad translation.

Velvet Angel

Feisty Woman gets kidnapped and given to enemy. They argue and have smexy times.

Omg seriously, seriously!!! Ok I am sure the book can be good, but I had this translation. I have been sitting on it for over 10 years. Always thinking I would read it, but then I stopped reading in my own language. The reason why, OMG translations suck! This was horrid. My eyes were bleeding and I had to give up.

Spoiled Engaged Girl flirts with sexy guy and later become his housekeeper.

Arghhhh I can't!! The heroine is a stupid spoiled girl. The hero is an idiot. The plot that will happen is wtf!? I mean COME ON!!!!

So I am not gonna read any more. Enough is enough. Not the historical romance for me.

Woman goes back in time and sees through the eyes of relative. Meets sexy guy back home.

I give up so easy now, it's awesome.

I just never got into it, and then when I started skimming I decided to stop reading. Just not the variation for me this time around.

Lizzy and Jane gets married.

Eh, made it to 40 and gave up, realised I had NO idea what had happened in those 40 pages.

I can't love them all.

I do not care what the book is about.

I hated book 1, but I already had book 2 (damn it!) and it has been on my shelf for years now, knowing I would never read it. So I gave it a try, a really short try, and no I just do NOT like this series.

Mermaid meets angel and has smexy times.

This is one I have tried to read a few times, and always given up, so gonna be strong now and DNF this time. Yes this has been a day of just reading books I know I wont like. Tomorrow I will get back to my normal books ;)

Anyway, checked the weirdest smex scene in the universe again, I just can't take this seriously.

 

Two DNFs from a publisher I wont mention.

Percy has a mythical past and  future.

I read book 1 4 years ago, I did not really like it. So today I picked up this book, as I had it, sigh. And tried to read it, bleh, I gave up, I was confused and bored.

Novella. Two peeps hunting down rogues.

This was dreadfully boring, and it was only 100 pages! Did I read those 100 pages? Omg, I just could not, it was boring. I did not care for the heroine, the hero and whatever shit they did.

Steampunk lad wants to find his clockwork girlfriend.

Omg this was terrible.

First impression

*Boring

Second impression

*Confusion

Third impression

* Oh Sweet Tor and Loki! Let me DNF this crap now.

Nothing worked. Not the world, not the characters (the one million of them) and not the plot..eh what plot?

Stuff happening in Ireland.

Yawn, why even bother. I gave up before I got to any good part. But like I said, why even bother.

Boring.

Assassin does stuff.

I could not do it, yes I am fast with DNF sometimes. But I understood nothing, I cared for nothing. I just did not want to read more.

Boring.
