I got stuck with The Boy on the Bridge, a deeply uninteresting book by M. R. Carey. The more time passed, the less time I spent reading, and I ended up not reading at all for days.
A breath of fresh air in whole the reader block was Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells. As one of the Goodreads reviews says, the Murderbot can have a mission to rescue kittens and it would still be interesting.
Rogue Protocol is about finding evidence against the corporation GrayCris. Bot will go to a space station that’s haunted and scary, and it has no armor. We have some Alien moments but of course, Bot is no weakling. It’s clear who should scream in space.
If there’s one downside of the whole series, it’s that the books are so short. The top three are the ones published in Bulgarian. Their total volume is about equal to the red book under them, which is The Boy on the Bridge by M. R. Carey, which got me stuck.
I’m still stuck though. I don’t want to get back to the red book.

My wife is very fond of pointing out that I am allowed to just not finish a book if I’m not enjoying it. She’s right, too. I normally give them too many chances, and it’s such a relief to just decide I’m done.

I am stuck with a book since December, it’s a good one but a bit boring, but I won’t give up.

“Out” by Natsuo Karino (the book we’re reading over at sceadugenga) is great. I’ll be posting my thoughts on the first two chapters tonight.

I’ll give it a try after I finish the book I read at the moment (The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel). Thanks for the recommendation!

I have this habit of skimming chapters and rush to the end because I have to know how it ends with such books.

This one was good. I tend to skip overly long battle scenes or uncomfortable romantic scenes.
