Chapter 9 I don't like the Adam chapters. They are difficult to follow and not as much fun to read. I prefer from Mercys point of view written in first person

rsfd is 73% done with Before We Were Yours
I have not enjoyed reading this book. I know violence to children happens and I will fight against anyone harming a child. I do not like reading about it. This is self inflicted torture and I would have abandoned this book long ago if it weren't for a book club I'm leading. I'm pleased to say the book has finally taken a turn and isn't making me want to vomit right now.

I don't like reading books with violence to children. This one is especially rough being historical fiction.

I loathe books that do this. I know more than the characters so I have to painfully read/wade through the book as they dole out information slowly. I'm hoping I'm wrong. Maybe something will happen. This is the third book like this for me in as many months. I'm only continuing to read because it's for book club.

Just started chapter 5. Seriously slow book. I like this author so I had high hopes. Dashed. I just don't care what happens. It's taking too long to setup the book premise.

I still really don't like this writing style. I think the plot line might be good and the writing is technically good too. I don't like the style she's employed of constantly referring to something she will know in the future. It's getting tiresome and it's already very confusing. Not worth the headache.

I don't like the writing style so far. It's like experiencing literature whiplash. Back-and-forth and back-and-forth. I'm having a hard time following the plot. I've already started over twice

First, it really sucks that you can't get this book as an audio download in Libby and only on Audible. Second, it's like there was a giant time jump from the last book to this one. I keep checking to see if I skipped a book. Weird.

Interesting enough but it's dragging now. It doesn't feel like it's going to have a climactic moment. More of an anticlimactic moment of relief.

Almost gave up on this book after the first few chapters. Very frustrating. Glad I hung in there. Hope it keeps it together.

It's How to Train Your Dragon meets Divergent meets the Hunger Games with an Avatar element. Are you sure this isn't a YA book?

rsfd is 15% done with Butcher & Blackbird (The Ruinous Love Trilogy, #1)
I really wanted to like this book. I keep looking for "the book before this one" just to make sense of it. And the audio narrators are really putting their all into it but Joe Arden is out shining Lucy Rivers and she's difficult to hear in contrast to him. The plot is flat. I'm all for gratuitous but I need more from a book than shock.

I've grown tired of books with this many main characters. The temptation to take notes just to keep everything straight is great. I've decided I'm not going to keep track and I'm just going to ride the roller coaster that is this book and if I figured it out I figured it out and if I get the characters confused so be it

So many unnecessary words. An overabundance of description. I get setting the scene but this is just filler prolonging the story and delaying the plot. I can see why they made it a tv show. The writing style is too artistic for me.

So far incredibly predictable but entertaining enough. Unfortunately not in having great difficulty finishing this book. It's dragging. I hope it's worth it.

Took a second run at this book. I just cannot get into it. I'm sure it's great; just not for me. Won't hinder it's rating by giving it one. DNF

I really want to read this series. I've read this book (book 1) before but white knuckled my way through it. I didn't get far in book 2. The lore is what makes me want to read it. The personalities of the two main characters (Diana and Matthew) are what drive me away. I. Just. Can't.

rsfd is 27% done with Iron Kissed (Mercy Thompson, #3)
I do like this series. However... I prefer more complex storylines with more than one plot line. This series is very simple, kind of like a cozy mystery of paranormal. If you are looking for paranormal light, this is it. If you want more, try The Dresden Files, Women of the Otherworld, the Alex Verus series or The Hollows.

rsfd is 37% done with Black Iris
There’s not enough sex for this to be a smart book. It’s almost a coming of age book except that everyone’s a new adult so I guess it’s a new adult book. It’s got the right labels on it for the type of book it is. And I really wanna know what happens, but I don’t have the patience to Wade through the various plot lines.

rsfd is 78% done with Old Bones (Nora Kelly, #1)
The characters are all extreme archetypes. The female characters are all stereotypes and the mature characters aren’t much better. There isn’t a single character to like. I think Nora is the main character only because the series is masked after her but I don’t care if she dies. This is a rough read and I wouldn’t finish it weren’t for book club.
