Goodreads is seriously lacking the functionality to make up shelves with ranty descriptions. What I would have needed goes sth like:
"Memo for self. NEVER CONTINUE! Aka book series that beat even the OCD that usually manages to make me finish stuff once started. Entry in the list is whichever book I managed to read before reaching the point of actually setting the whole thing on fire, had I had a physical copy. No one-shots, only series that my fail of a brain might at one point feel compelled to complete."
No choice but to de-tox (and have an extra memo) here now. Because somehow there have been a few of these in a row, and I'm pissed. List in read order goes:
- Renegade's Magic (The Soldier Son #3) - never been so disappointed in one of my favourite authors than with this fatfatfatfatfat... luckily no hint of the series continuing so far.
- The Wide Window (A Series of Unfortunate Events #3) - works ONLY to create childhood depression, nothing else.
- Freya and the Beast (Fae Twisted Fairytales #2) - there is ZERO grammar, praying to high heavens this never continues, made my brain bleed.
- Unraveled (Steel Brothers Saga #9) - got to 9 only because all of it was in a single mindless-scroll file, each book is a torturous copy-paste.
- Saved (Honor Bound #1) - list of the wrongs is endless but mixing up a sadist and a masochist in a book supposedly heavily focused on bdsm summarises enough.
- Court of Bitter Thorn (The Fae of Bitter Thorn #1) - no logic, no grammar, no story, no characters... why has the world decided to torment me??
No authors, no links, DO NOT look the names up, these deserve no clicks / internet traffic.
Cheers,
Hedi
