A little update on Middle Grade March

  Well, I read Under their Skin and Nightbooks and loved both of them, but I also DNF these two:    Luckily I am currently reading Witchlings, and so far I am loving it!

January Wrap Up

Image
  I've officially decided to make my wrap up posts just like what I have over on my Instagram. It's more colorful and eye-catching, anyway. And you actually get to see all of the books I read.  

December Wrap Up

Yes, I am just reposting what I posted over on Instagram, but I think this makes the post more fun to look at.

One last book I DNF for Middle Grade March

Image
  And it's this book! I just could not get into it...  Seriously, it's like every time I participate in a readathon or a book challenge of some kind, I end up DNFing or giving a low rating to most of the books I read. I think I might have to take a break from readathons for a while. I am still doing the 12 books 12 friends challenge for the rest of the year though!  Image of book was found on Google Images

Middle Grade March: A book with travel

Image
  Yeah, only guess what? I DNF (did not finish) this one too! It was too sad. With everything going on in the world right now, I prefer reading something a lot more uplifting.  That's all for today.   Image of book was found on Google Images

Middle Grade March: Book with flowers on the cover

Image
  Unfortunately, I DNF (did not finish) this one... I just couldn't get into it. It was kinda boring and confusing.  Hopefully the next book I had planned to read (Liesl and Po) won't be as disappointing.

All the books/series I DNF+Worst books of the year (so far)

I swear at least one of these will really shock you.  Well, have fun looking at my unpopular opinions! Luckily I have only three books that I read that I disliked, but not because they were objectively bad, I was personally just disappointed with them. Here they are: Ellie Engle Saves Herself by Leah Johnson -3 stars Serafina and the Seven Stars by Robert Beatty -3.5 stars Frieren Volume 5 by Kanehito Yamada -3 stars And here are all the books I DNF'd... 😬 Heartstopper Volume 5 by Alice Oseman Unbowed by Wangari Mathai Hurricane Child by Kacen Callendar  A Complicated Love Story Set in Space by Shaun David Hutchison Apollo's Angels by Jennifer Homans To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer Little Women by Louisa May Alcott Spellbound by Bishakh Som Rickety Stitch Volume 1 by Ben Costa and James Parks Replay by Sharon Creech Purple Cow by Seth Godin The ...

Worst Books of 2023+All the Books I DNF in 2023

  You are seeing this post now because I forgot to make one in December! Luckily the "worst books" were all 3 star books. Not the worst things I ever read, but they could've been better. I will have links to their reviews if applicable. I DNF'd a total of 30 books last year. But it was worth it. Life is too short to read things you don't like/find boring. Here are the worst books of 2023: Given Volume 4 by Natsuki Kizu Given Volume 6 by Natsuki Kizu Nick and Charlie by Alice Oseman Our Dreams at Dusk 2 by Yuhki Kamatani Our Dreams at Dusk 3 by Yuhki Kamatani Sheets by Brenna Thummler All of the books I DNF: Anne of Windy Poplars by LM Montgomery You're Welcome Universe by Whitney Gardner Take me Home Tonight by Morgan Matson Monday is Not Coming by Tiffany Jackson Nancy Drew and the Secret of Red Gate Farm by Carolyn Keene Lunch Money by Andrew Clements American Panda by Gloria Chao The Case of the Missing Moonstone by Jordan Stratford Spinning by Tillie Wald...

BOOKS I DNF SO FAR/SERIES I WILL NOT BE CONTINUING

Uh oh, more unpopular opinions ahead. These are all the books I have DNF'd so far this year. For one reason or another. Either I found a book so boring and I just couldn't get into it, or maybe the story got so bad for me that I had to stop reading.  I also decided to add a list of series I won't be continuing. With those I did read the first book or the first few books, but for whatever reason(s) I lost interest in finishing out the series.  Since I DNF most of these books/series, there won't be any links to read about them, since I obviously never gave them a review.  Books I DNF: Anne of Windy Poplars by LM Montgomery You're Welcome Universe by Whitney Gardner Take me Home Tonight by Morgan Matson Monday is Not Coming by Tiffany Jackson Nancy Drew and the Secret of Red Gate Farm by Carolyn Keene Lunch Money by Andrew Clements American Panda by Gloria Chao The Case of the Missing Moonstone by Jordan Stratford Spinning by Tillie Walden Strawberry Girl by Lois Lensk...
