      That was the most asinine thing I had read on Threads that day because first off…don’t tell me what to do 😩

    I appreciate when people discuss books they dislike. If I have read them, and also dislike, it is affirming. If I disagree, I love to hear the discourse and explore that. As I don’t have many people as bookish as me, it is needed!
    I am learning how to truly DNF still (completionism + FOMO). “Sometimes my silence is better for everyone involved” is a word and a fact.
    Girl, stick to reverse harems, those are the only “poly” books that are worth it.

      Yes agreed!! Every time I read a reverse harem….it’s just sex. I tend to like some plot with my sex 🤭

      When I'm ready to DNF a book, but still want to know how it ends, I'll read 1-2 sentences of each paragraph until I finish the book. I used to try to find spoiler reviews for those cases, but they seem few and far between.

      @ such a good idea! Wiki usually has a full synopsis of a book if you are looking. My issue is just feeling like I quit.

    Yo you had me cracking up! I dislike when ppl don’t talk about the books they didn’t like. In my mind they just like every damn thing and I can’t trust their judgement cuz they gonna recommend everything they read lol

    Where Sleeping Girls Lie cover made me think it was going to be a horror novel. I liked it ok but it wasn’t what I was expecting. It was more of a teen mystery,I compared it to a 13 Reasons Why x Pretty Little Liars mashup.

    • @ChocolateCoveredPages

      Correct!! If I had known that I wouldn’t have picked it up at all. Now if they make it into a little mini series I’d watch 😂

    Scooby doo mystery was a good analogy for Do What Godmother Says. I felt the same about when that character came on. I was reading like oh it’s gotta be someone else cause this too easy to figure out 😑 but I just kept saying it’s him girl, what are you doing?! 😂
    I’m gonna read Bad Influence still, I’m easily entertained so maybe I’ll enjoy it 😂

    lol Keyona you are funny! I absolutely agree about the Dandridge Monroe book. I think it was supposed to be a dark mafia romance and as I was reading it I was like no this is not lol. So glad I wasn’t the only one.

    • @ChocolateCoveredPages
      @ChocolateCoveredPages  3 дні тому +1

      Ah yes okay thanks for clarifying! It’s like this whole first book was set up for the rest of the series 🤔 Baby don’t waste my time like that because now I don’t care no more what happens to these people since you gave us nothing in book 1.
