I dnf'd a Story of a Bookseller too. Read The Bourne Identity, gave it 3,5 stars, dnf'd the next one in the series. Leave the World Behind I gave 2 stars, so in these cases we have similar booktaste😊
I feel the same about Story of a Bookseller and The Hobbit. My overall rating for books this year was 3.4. Hoping to read more books that I like in 2025.
LOL I loved Leave the World Behind - I'm all the way here for speculative, dystopian fiction with ambiguous endings. I always think that if it all wraps up neatly it's not speculative enough. Reading The Anomaly a couple of years ago for book club made me realize that this is a very niche kind of book that I enjoy.
I’m so glad you mentioned the Hobbit because I have tried that book so many times. I guess I’m just not into fantasy. And I, too, DNF’d the Tom Hanks book. I was so disappointed!
The only book on your list that I have read is The Hobbit, and it is my all-time favorite book. I loved everything about it…especially Bilbo! ❤ My mom tried reading it and couldn’t get into it…the names were too much for her to get over. The worst book I read this year was Icebreaker. I expected a cute romance but it was disgusting. 🤢
I never read The Bourne Identity but saw the movie and that was confusing, it a movie you have to see twice to understand more of it, so I can imagine reading it would be just as confusing.
