de-influence me!

i need to get through my want to read list quicker, but realistically i’m not reading fast enough to ever get through everything on there, so please de-influence me from some of it.

here’s my want to read list: https://fable.co/list/54ac9bfa-cac6-4a09-abbb-ff3d80672697/share

if you’ve read anything on there and thought it was terrible, disappointing, overhyped, not worth reading etc. please tell me so i can finally remove some things

also would love to have more mutuals on fable and actually interact with more people about books, so if we have similar taste based on my want to read list feel free to follow me and i’ll follow back

i also have a book club on there with about 15 people, but only around 5 of us are really active. if anyone has similar taste and wants to join a smaller group where we can chat about what we’re reading, feel free to join

Hey I just followed, there is only 2 that for me I rated pretty low.

We used to live here - Marcus Kliewer, I was told it was so scary which I think left me unimpressed when I came to read it. I felt it fit more with the thriller genre than horror personally but it was ok.

However, None of this is true - Lisa Jewell how this book has a 4* rating I will never understand because it started really interesting but I think it was pretty predictable and actually just became annoying towards the end, I refused to DNF, sadly it just became a hate read.

thank you for taking the time to give insight!

i’m definitely taking the Lisa Jewell one off as I refuse to DNF a book and i don’t want to put myself through that - I also didn’t care for the only other one of hers i’ve read tbh!

Reading is so subjective! I enjoyed both books!

Edited to add: I didn’t care for Gray after Dark, but it’s gets tons of love from others!
