I am now in year FOUR of Tackling the TBR. Slowly but surely I have made big strides in getting my TBR under control. When I first started in 2019, that list was topping out at over 5,000 books. I don't know that I will ever get below 500, but a #BookDragon can dream!
I will be posting on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and the last day of the month. Feel free to join in if you'd like!
***This is five weeks' worth of info, given that all Eleanor and I have really done well lately has been to read. If you've missed out, you can find out why HERE. Slowly but surely we are getting back to our normal routines.***

Interesting that you DNF'd 'Gone Girl'...!
ReplyDeleteI ended up hating it and not caring what happened to any of them! Part of it could be is that I waited too long to read it, and have read so many similar thrillers that have jumped on that band wagon since it came out. Or possibly because I knew what happened since it was all anyone could talk about for months. I just could not care about any of them.
DeleteUnderstandable. Well worn tropes can be SO boring... plus DNFing makes time and room for better books.
DeleteI do think I would have loved it, had I read it back when it first came out.
Deletemaking progress. i loved gone girl, but that is what makes blogging interesting, different strokes for different folks. have a super week

I think part of the reason I ended up not caring about it or being surprised or anything was that I have waited so long to read it, and read so many similar thrillers in that time since it first came out. Plus I knew the ending, since it was all anyone talked about so months. But I just did not care about any of the characters and couldn't make myself power through.
DeleteRory Power! And ooh These deadly Games. I have her first one but it didn't grab me.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll like Burn, it was unique the way Wilder Girls was, and unusual in the big thing that is happening. I liked it a lot. These Deadly Games was okay, and I would read a sequel is one comes out. Not my most fave, but interesting.
