You know how people will go around with shirts that say "Dump Him"? I'm that way about books. DNF it. Stop reading it. Return it to the library. Hundreds of books on your tbr and you're still reading something you hate? If it sucks! Hit the bricks!

Any book I read gets 50 pages (100 pages for a book club or read along) or 20% on an audiobook or ebook. That is IT. If it's not sparking joy I have so many books I'm trying to get to. Dump! That! Book!

People were way too trusting in the 1800s; she's just gonna leave her daughter with these strangers and in turn, they're just going to nurse this strange girl back to health? People need to have some healthy fear sometimes

Loving Morpheus, the “pretty murder bird” and his smart mouth.

I recently added Piranesi to my taste list, and I noticed some similarities between it and some of the other books, so I spent some time trying to think of what linked all of them together.

I've landed on Unusual and interesting narrators/narrative style Too Like The Lightning features conversations between narrator and imagined reader; Ghost Cities has two separate worlds being woven together and meta referencing each other; Rebecca's unnamed narrator; and both Nona the Ninth and Piranesi have amnesiac narrators. I guess I have a thing for books that are presented in an unusual way!

Now I pose to you: what common thread ties all the books in your taste list?

These characters are all written so well and I am invested in all of them ahhhh. I am gonna get my feelings hurt by this book😭
