Books I Didn't Finish in 2025


Below will be any books I started and didn't finish and the reason why. 

  1. Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan
    • To be fair I was only a couple of chapters in before I gave up on this one but I just couldn't keep my attention on the audiobook version so I'm passing on this one.
  1. The Fragile Threads of Power Victoria E. Schwab
    • I tried getting into this one twice but the pace of the story was too slow and I kept losing my focus. 
  1. Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar
    • I disliked the main character, Cyrus, right off the bat and just couldn't see myself getting through the whole book. It also didn't help that I listened to this one on audio and it irritated me that the volume of the narrator's voice was so low.
