I found the main character to be inconsistent and I just think the book introduced too many ideas for such a short one that I didn't feel like settled in any concept at any point

Black TideKC Jones
Not a fan

every scene where we got to see them interact or got to know them better it felt rushed it felt like the author had no passion behind it we really did not earn this romance

Four Thousand WeeksUnknown
Not a fan

a couple non-fictions that I technically didn't rate but like they're in my least favorites radical acceptance how to do nothing and 4,000 weeks they didn't work for me but they might work for you

How to Do NothingJenny Odell
Not a fan

a couple non-fictions that I technically didn't rate but like they're in my least favorites radical acceptance how to do nothing and 4,000 weeks they didn't work for me but they might work for you

One for My EnemyOlivie Blake
Not a fan

one for my enemy by olivie Blake which wasn't selected in a way that was because I thought I would love it was just for a video so I hold no anger towards that one

Radical AcceptanceUnknown
Not a fan

a couple non-fictions that I technically didn't rate but like they're in my least favorites radical acceptance how to do nothing and 4,000 weeks they didn't work for me but they might work for you

it was too strange beautiful writing but maybe because it veered into the culty it was apocalyptic it was about these twins who become like involved with each other while trying to survive this like toxic contagion that isn't even fully described

Set on YouAmy Lea
Not a fan

and then I think there are some books that I don't physically have with me set on you I can't remember who that's by

SuckerDaniel Hornsby
Not a fan

I found it exhausting and dll it wasn't funny I should have dnfed it wasn't unreadable or it would have gotten a one but it was the only book I brought on a camping trip with me so I did finish it regrettably

the mystery itself was not compelling it wasn't written in a way that I felt like I was solving something I felt very bogged down by all of the description

The PushAshley Audrain
Not a fan

the story itself was incredibly dull you could have cut it in half it would have been the exact same story I didn't feel necessarily connected or interested in any of the characters or their thoughts

I see how the ghost could make it fun for so many people it was just too quirky and silly and then the characters just arguing and talking it was just dialogue for hundreds and hundreds of pages

The TrapTabitha King
Not a fan

and now to run through everything else that I gave it to Star and my dishonorable mentions the Trap by tabith the king

Zero DaysRuth Ware
Not a fan

for Ruth wear to be writing such a boring basic mystery it's shocking it's another book for the list that I just found absolutely exhausting to get through
