Books I DNF'd in 2019

I DNF'D a lot of books this year and I like reading posts by other people about the books they stop reading, so I thought I'd do my own one.

JANUARY

How to Hang a Witch (How to Hang a Witch, #1) by Adriana Mather

Why I Stopped Reading:

I couldn't get on with the writing style and had to stop at page 58.

Once I noticed how many 'I's there were I couldn't stop seeing them.

FEBRUARY

 

Tempests and Slaughter (The Numair Chronicles, #1) by Tamora Pierce

Why I Stopped Reading:

 I put this down at 22%.

I struggled to get into the storyline and to get on with the writing style. I found the plot really dull which is a shame as I loved the Lioness Quartet.

 Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak


Why I Stopped Reading:

I found the time jumps quite confusing and not much happened. I lost interest and decided not to continue. 

What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera


Why I Stopped Reading:

This is probably a controversial one but I struggled to connect with the characters and the plot didn't interest me. 





MAY

Sorceror to the Crown (Sorceror Royal, #1) by Zen Cho


Why I Stopped Reading:

I really liked the sound of this but I just couldn't get into it.





 JULY

 The Tesla Legacy by K.K. Perez


Why I Stopped Reading:

I was so excited for this one but I really didn't like it.




AUGUST

  
The Orphanage of the Gods by Helena Coggan

  
Why I Stopped Reading:

I didn't find the characters very interesting and I didn't care what happened to them. I lost interest in the plot which didn't seem to have much direction.








SEPTEMBER

These Rebel Waves (Stream Raiders, #1) by Sara Raasch


Why I Stopped Reading:

There were too many info-dumps and I didn't care for the characters or the writing.

 

The Antidote by Shelley Sackier


Why I Stopped Reading:

I struggled with the writing style from the first page and couldn't get into the plot or connect with the characters.
 




NOVEMBER

  
Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik


Why I Stopped Reading: 

I was so sure that I was going to love this, and I was enjoying it to begin with, but I got really bored and couldn't bring myself to read any more.


 

 DECEMBER

Truthwitch (The Witchlands, #1) by Susan Dennard


Why I Stopped Reading:

 This is another book that I was really looking forward to reading.
I did enjoy this to begin with, but then things started to bug me and it began a chore to read.

King of Fools (The Shadow Game, #2) by Amanda Foody

Why I Stopped Reading:

I enjoyed the first book in the series, Ace of Shades, but I liked the main characters less in King of Fools. I lost interest in the plot and didn't care what happened.
