Why I DNF The Beholder, The Meaning of Birds and 5 other books

I’m looking at my “Review to Write” list and noticing it’s gotten pretty out of hand, its fine I’ll catch up. It’s one of my main focuses for the month.

Today I plan to lower the count by 7. Yes that’s right I’m going to talk about 7 books I chose to DNF already this year. Keep reading to see which books I didn’t finish and why.

Received for free from the author in exchange for an honest review

Synopsis:
Where I Ache is broken up into six chapters ranging from themes such as depression, jealousy, death, and strength. These are delicate subjects to talk about and most people avoid them because of the uncomfortable vulnerability. I’ve always written and shared my poetry with the hope that readers would relate and feel less alone. I hope you feel a sense of community to all of those connected throughout this collection.

Excerpt + Giveaway: Aries 181 by Tiana Warner

Hey bookwyrms, I’m super happy to be taking part in the Book Blitz for one of my favourite authors Tiana Warner. If you’ve yet to hear of her… where have you been? Or maybe you just don’t recognise her without the mermaids?

Tiana is the author of the Mermaids of Eriana Kwai series that I love so much as I’ve jumped in two feet deep and doing what I can to help promote her newest book – Aries 181.

I was also lucky enough to receive an early copy for review which I got to read and enjoy whilst I was off with a broken wrist! My review will be posted later this week but for now, lets get you interested some more with an excerpt and giveaway.

Lastly, if you are a member of Books and Tea we are also working with Tiana for another giveaway and doing a read-along of this book next month too.
