Can’t turn down a free book for participating in a faculty book club at work! Still skeptical that the benefits of using AI outweigh the costs.

I think I’m DNFing. This was another gift from my dear sister and I have tried to read it 3 times, before getting entirely lost and starting over. I understand one of the main stories but have no clue what is going on in the other two side stories. This might have something to do with this being the 14th in the series. I’ll keep this on my shelf and the first in the series on my TBR.

DNF— my sister got this for me and I tried, but I am so board. This is probably a result of my not being religious but having attended Catholic school. So, I am super familiar with the main story of Jesus’s birth and the side story of Shimion was just not interesting. Seems to be yet another male-centered retelling of the Bible 🤷🏻‍♀️ Not for me (2024).

Listening on audio and I got distracted and now I have no idea what is going on. Going to DNF for now, but may pick up again if I come across a physical copy.

I think I’m going to put this down— I’m not enjoying the writing style and I just finished reading a scene where the author acted like it was totally cool and fun for an adult man to give porn to a 13 year old. Um no.

DNFing at 18% — was reading this for a book club and then realized that I couldn’t make the meeting anyways so decided to stop.

I read for enjoyment and a whole paragraph of racism in the first chapter seems like a sure sign that I won’t enjoy this. DNFing 3/16/24

Started reading this last night and was enjoying it so much that I decided to set it aside and save it for my book club pick 😊

DNF February 2024– I’m sure this is a great book, but I’m just not in the right headspace to read it right now. Maybe another time.

Saw this at Goodwill and curiosity got the best of me with all the hype around this series! Here we go!

An absolute horror story at this point 💔
