I will not reread

Another fun book tag I casually came across on youtube, so here's my take on it.

Original https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyLDQp4cV9o
Prompts:

1. Series I will not continue.
I included the series of Dorothy must die by Danielle Paige to complete this year, but I am officially giving up on this story. It is not for me, I disliked the characters and get too annoyed so I will not put myself through that. I read 3 of the main novellas but didn't even attempt the companion short stories.
2. Author, I will not read again.
I really have not found an author that I dislike enough to say never again the closest I have come across is Helen Hoang, I read the kiss quotient but I disliked the characters, the romance, and is a contemporary romance novel and those were the parts I disliked about it, this clearly was not for me.
And when I decided to read another book from her The bride test, only from the synopsis which sounds the same as the kiss quotient with gender swap and that's it. So I decided against reading it without trying it.

3. Book you would never reread.
A semi-recent book I read, it was a historical fictional romance by Olivia Rae Salvation, this has a lot of religious beliefs there, mainly because of the time period. But I was extremely annoyed by the characters, she made the whole book feel interminable and torturous to read. 
4. DNFed book that I will not pick up again.
A book I put down and then I lost interest in it, One perfect lie by Lisa Scottoline a mystery thriller following a man who moves to a small town with the intention of taking a teaching position but all is part of a plot. Nothing, in particular, I barely started it but it did not catch my attention. 

 5. Best Seller that you will not read.
I already gave up on the book that's been getting a lot of hype Red, White, and Royal blue by Casey McQuiston. A romance between the son of the first lady president of US and the crown prince of UK. I have heard a lot of raving reviews and some people who really say its overhyped but it does not sound interesting to me, I have no intention of reading it. 

 Well, it seems like when I have negative thoughts I find it hard to get inspiration, so let's leave it here.

Bird Box

Author: Josh Malerman Genre: Mystery/Thriller, Horror Original publication date: March 2014 Book description:  Something is out there, something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse of it, and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from. Five years after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remains, including Malorie and her two young children. Living in an abandoned house near the river, she has dreamed of fleeing to a place where they might be safe. Now that the boy and girl are four, it's time to go, but the journey ahead will be terrifying: twenty miles downriver in a rowboat—blindfolded—with nothing to rely on but her wits and the children's trained ears. One wrong choice and they will die. Something is following them all the while, but is it man, animal, or monster? Thoughts: So this is a reread. The first time I read it was last year mainly because of booktube recommendations and the movie was released in N

Mid Month Wrap up (Hous Pocus + #AYearAThon)

For the beginning of the month, I participated in two Readathons. So I will do a wrap up of those two first ones that ended on the 13th. The first one was HOCUS POCUS READATHON. The goal was to cast a Spell to become immortal. Goal accomplished! It consisted of 7 challenges out of them, 6 were reading related. Read a total of 6 books. In those the total pages read were 2,263 In average it represented 377.67 pages per book  Not bad for the first two weeks of the month but yeah most of the book were on the shorter side. The second readathon accomplished was #AYearAThon in which we had to read a thriller. In a very good coincidence, these two overlapped allowing me to use a book from the previous challenges to cover this one as well. For this readathon only one book was finished, Misery and this one contained 370 pages.
