Jocelyn is starting Hold Strong
I can't seem to "hold strong" with this book. The events have become way more intense, and I think I have to be in the right headspace to continue reading it. I really like it though.

Hold Strong

Jocelyn
Jocelyn is starting Spare
I still have a long way before I finish listening to the audiobook, but so far, I am enjoying it. Watching the Netflix docu first seemed like a good idea before reading this book just to have visual context of some of the events mentioned.

Spare

Jocelyn
Jocelyn is starting The Comeback
I want to like this because I enjoyed The Stand In so much.

However, I find the main protagonist an exhausting and a toxic character. I can't even believe that she's already in her 30s based on the decisions she made. For a supposedly successful lawyer, she sure is a naive one.

I love, love Phillipa Soo as the audiobook narrator, so at least there's that.

The Comeback

Jocelyn
Jocelyn is 50% done with Sleeping Beauty: An Audible Original Drama
What a weird retelling. I was confused most of the time while listening to the audiobook.

The narration, however, is excellent.

Jocelyn is starting Bright (Shine, #2)
I'm having secondhand embarrassment while reading this book.
There's so much immaturity throughout the book.

Also, I couldn't stop making parallels between the real SNSD and the events I'm reading.


Welp.

Jocelyn is starting Punk Love
DNF!
1 more hour before finishing the audiobook, but I've decided to DNF it.
The FL is unlikeable, fake, and had no character development.

Actually, most characters felt flat. Sure, they're punks, but they're just same throughout the book.

Jocelyn is starting Fifty Famous Fairy Tales
I have no plans on listening to this just yet, but I saw on my Audible app that it'll be removed from the Plus catalogue.

Jocelyn
Jocelyn is starting Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter, #5)
The fight at the Ministry of Magic was unnecessarily long. It's a chore to get through thr entire thing.

Jocelyn is starting The Widows of Malabar Hill (Perveen Mistry, #1)
I'm thinking of dropping this.
Too much personal life of the narrator.

You know Mallory, if you could have ever stopped casting blame, you'd probably get further in life.

- the Mom was 100% right.

Back in the Burbs (The Burbs, #1)

Jocelyn
Jocelyn is starting Back in the Burbs (The Burbs, #1)
I'm listening to the audiobook, and I'm not sure if it's also the same withthe book itself. Why is it necessary to spell words like H-O-T instead of just saying hot? It's not like it's a curse word.
The worse part? It didn't happen just once but multiple times.

Jocelyn
Jocelyn is starting The Librarian of Auschwitz
Why do I keep on reading multiple POVs in this book when the title says that the story is about a librarian.

The title of this book should be "The People of Auschwitz" since this somehow contains little stories of the people there.

Moreover, I'm almost halfway through this book, and yet... the library was barely talked about.
