I'm not a fan of unnecessary repulsive writing.

It was sooo meh! But Come With Me was so good, I'm so disappointed!

It was just too slow and, even though I got through the slow beginning of The Dresden Files, I don't feel like repeating that so soon after. I might continue sometime in the future though.

I know I'm able to enjoy books (Rowling proved that to me again just this month

It started well. And then it was just boring.

Seems like 2022 is the year of abandoned books for me. Or, rather, the year of shattered hope that I had for these books!

I guess Gaiman is just not for me. He makes me fall asleep even when I'm interested in the story

I think I need an intervention. I don't know how to pick books that fit my taste!

I thought this would be a easy, fun read without risk that I wouldn't like it. It turned out to be very, very boring.

Hm, this book is not really doing anything for me. And all the things I don't like so much at this point seem to be very commonly addressed by other people. It's pretty slow, I don't really feel a lot for the main characters (the female characters all seem kinda bitchy, manipulative and especially boring) ... One day I might give this series another try, but I say that about most books that I “paused.”

Wasn't for me. I wonder if I have been unlucky with picking books this year or if I just feel more comfortable with DNFing books now

After weeks and weeks of struggling to make progress, I decided to give up on this book now. It wasn't bad through and through, but it just never took off and the characters were too stereotypical for my taste. But it was a good exercise regarding my Swedish skills!

I read the summary of the next two chapters and decided there's no point in continuing (for now). It's alright, I like the characters, but it's also quite boring. Things happen, but nothing really drives the plot forward. So yeah, Gaiman lost me on this one. Maybe I like another one of his better.
