Bloodland was one of those books I had high hopes for. It sounded like it was going to be a great political mystery/thriller type book. Honestly, it wasn't a bad book. I just had a hard time keeping track of everything that was going on in it. I recently started back to school and it was just requiring too much thinking to keep up with this book. I need to use my critical thinking skills elsewhere, not trying to keep all the plotlines of this book straight.
I had never heard of Ghost Road Blues or the Pine Deep Trilogy by Jonathan Maberry before seeing it at the library a couple of weeks ago. I really enjoyed the Marbury Lens, so I thought I would probably like this series as well. I checked out Ghost Road Blues to get started on the trilogy. I got about halfway through and lost interest. I kinda got the impression that it was trying to hard to be a Stephen King book.
I was so looking forward to reading Seraphina. It looked like a really cool YA fantasy book. In the end, it was a DNF for me. I just couldn't get into it. I listened to the first disc and had no idea what was going on. I don't usually have such a hard time getting oriented to a "world" in a book, but this one was confusing. Maybe it is one of those books that I need to read instead of listen to? I might try it again at some point.
The Haunted was recently released on audio and I thought I would do it as a Throwback Thursday feature. I wasn't spooked or scared. I was bored. I just didn't care about the characters. I made it almost through the first disc, then I gave up.
