Or being promoted as MG when it shouldn't be. <br /><br />I read "Annihilation" (I know...an unusual choice for me) and found it interesting. I'm reading something now that's much less interesting (a literary story of the end of a marriage) and I'm 50% through and feeling like I don't want to finish it. I may just skim because I do want to find out what happens in the end. It was mis-marketed itself as similar to 'Gone Girl'...whoever did that at the publisher did the book a tremendous disservice. Like you, I started it with totally different expectations. Not a mystery.

I've become attached to some of the characters and so I'm sort of skimming/not listening to long passages. I mean...I was on the waiting list for them and they finally hit so...yeah. <br /><br />Also went back and did a relisten/listen to a series by a favorite author. She writes dark and sexy and her "Unfinished Heros" all have horrible pasts. I was about to give up on the last book at about 44% but picked it up on the Kindle and dang if I didn't stay up way late finishing the darn thing. I don't know why the the audio version wasn't working for me. Not sure if it was the narrator or if the book just picked up steam at the half-way mark. <i>*shrug*</i><br /><br />I'm slugging on through the rest of BDB books until something else catches my attention.Silver Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606837105470988646noreply@blogger.com
