I have to read or yeet these books EP. 7 🧹 rants, book unhaul, spring cleaning the library

this is because I have the prequel to Part of the Orange Tree, which I'm currently reading and loving. That's currently out because I'm reading it.

This is a book I would hate read. Like this is a book that I would read through to completion if I wasn't just totally done with it to just hate read it and be like this is ridiculous how bad it is.

It just all feels fake and forced. I don't know how to describe it. It just feels fake and forced.

I think I was so disappointed when, for example, I read Mr. Dickens and His Carol, which is just like a little bit of complete nonsense about how Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol.

I read My Brilliant Friend maybe four, five years ago at this point now, and it was fine. It's just not really the kind of story or literature that I've been gravitating towards at all.

I think number one, I'm just really liking the ideas in this book. Not so much the execution. In fact, I wish there was so much more world given to me and time spent on these things.

This felt incredibly rushed. It was like every other page we would just jump to a new scene and something would be happening. I just don't think this was a very good adaptation of the story, to be honest, because I don't know.

I made it 174 pages through The Adventures of Amina, and it's just not gripping me. I'm just not super into it. I'm not loving it, and almost 200 pages in, and we're still like getting together like the main crew, and we're still like setting up the plot and everything, and I'm just like tired of it.

Also, I did not enjoy Shannon Chakraborty's first book that I read from her, which was The City of Brass. I actually DNF'd The City of Brass.

I really loved The Three-Body Problem.
