I’m sharing a no-holds-barred reading roundup: four books I couldn’t put down (even when I didn’t love them), and four that just didn’t stick. From edge-of-your-seat thrillers to impulsive library grabs that pleasantly surprised me, we dive into what made these pages fly—or flop. Spoiler: “page-turner” doesn’t always mean “masterpiece,” and sometimes the books you think you’ll love… you just can’t finish.
If you’re hunting for your next read—or avoiding a disappointment—this episode’s got you covered. I’ll spill what kept me up past bedtime, what made me gasp, and what made me slam the book shut. Plus, my thoughts are unapologetically subjective, so don’t take it personally if your favorite shows up on my DNF (Did Not Finish) list. Grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s talk books.
