books I did not finish (DNFd)

I don’t have any this year, not yet. So I’ll do my most recent ones, because, yes, I keep a list. I keep track, listing the reason I DNF for future reference. Since I’m a mood reader, sometimes that’s all it is. But sometimes a book just isn’t for me, and probably never will be.

1. A Taste of Poison by Tessonja Odette (StoryGraph): a mood thing
2. Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett (StoryGraph): just couldn’t get into it
3. The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta (StoryGraph): want to love this, just can’t get into it.
4. A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham (StoryGraph): some content that hit me too hard
5. The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan (StoryGraph): rubbed me the wrong way
6. Lord of the Fly Fest by Goldy Moldavsky (StoryGraph): wanted to love it, but it just didn’t work
7. Blood and Moonlight by Erin Beatty (StoryGraph): purely a mood thing
8. Just Like Mother by Anne Heltzel (StoryGraph): a mood thing
9. Pearl by Josh Malerman (StoryGraph): creeped me out too much, which is hard to do!
10. House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (StoryGraph): I tried, I really tried.
