I have no fucking idea how the man who wrote Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon, Black Sunday, and Hannibal wrote that.

For me it was Old Bones by Preston and Child. So much potential but it was a slog with no payoff. A modern day investigation into a true-life old west horror promising to dig up horrible secrets? Sounds amazing! But no, it would be hard to make it more boring. Makes me not want to read anything by either author.

Brave new world. Short and boring imo but the name really had me hyped for it. I honestly think other than the idea of the book the next best thing is its title.

The Wall by Marlen Haushofer, it has an interesting premise and I was told it has the same sort of survival feel as the Hunger Games but literally nothing happens and it is so repetitive

Atomic Habits. It didn’t provide anything new to me—apparently the idea of the book was something I already incorporated in my life long before reading it. DNF’d it, but I believe there are people who may need it in their lives.

The Goldfinch. I was bored from beginning to end. The Pulitzer Prize is not deserved imo.

Piranesi. Seemed like it was right up my alley. I didn’t make it past 50 pages.

The Survivors by Jane Harper. I really liked her first three but this one was immediate peril and then a lot of people acting suspiciously.

Practical Magic. I was so excited to read a modern magic story, but it just didn’t give me a chance to really bond with the characters. I dnf’d

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. To me the main character felt flat, and the self-help vibe of the book annoyed me lol. My book club loved it though.
