First DNF of the year: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel.
I read about the HBO series, and it made me pick up the book. Unfortunately, the book didn't hold my attention. Maybe I'll just watch the series. Anyone has watched it yet?

Before you follow
None of us are comfortable with porn blogs or ddlg to the point you will be blocked for following. While I'm at it fuck off MAPs/NOMAPs and supporters. No pedophiles here you fucking freaks. Also if you have a blank blog ESPECIALLY with a generic non avatar that tumblr gives you as default, you get blocked on sight because there's no way to tell if you're a bot or not. The same goes for blogs with several posts with link posts with low note counts because, again, no idea if you're a bot or not
Also no TERFS/radfems/TIRFS/etc because fuck you guys. All the mods here except Dylan are trans and your kind aren't wanted here. Same goes for transmeds/truscum, REGS, aphobes and so on. No Nazis neo or otherwise, no alt right, none of that shit. I found some motherfucker who thought immigrants were sleeping in hotels while veterans were on the streets. None of that racist shit here. Period
All of us are anti capitalism, anti military industry, and anti cop. So you'll be blocked on sight for these in addition to the ddlg blogs, radfems, and pedophiles. This is a wholesome blog for two lovely, sassy little buns whom we consider our children and we won't be putting up with bullshit. All mods are queer, two being queers of color so if that bothers you, kindly fuck off
And now for pronouns etc:
Vann - they/xe white agender
Cake - they/them white genderfluid
Dylan - he/him mixed race white/Jewish man
Bryan - he/him biracial white/Japanese bigender lesbian
That's all I can think of for now. The inbox is always open. I'm the one who mostly posts on this blog for various reasons. Dylan and Bryan are lurkers so I don't recommend their blogs but they do have them if you're curious. Feel free to ask about buns or mods in the inbox as it's always open and we're happy to get asks. Because I'm the one who posts most often and I mostly use mobile, longer answers likely won't have a cut so keep that in mind. Non anon asks will have an @ in the response
Anyway, enjoy the blog! Sorry there isn't more frequent pictures and whatnot as we have things to do but I hope to one day be more consistent about posting photos/videos the day they're Actually Taken so there's more frequent posting and less hoarde dump posts
And, as always, all posts on this blog sfw and family friendly. We don't swear or say things here we don't in front of our own parents, nephews, nieces, etc. Like I have and would say fuck in front of my cousin's toddlers but I also know my cousins so do with that what you will

2024 DNF List
When the Stars go Dark, by Paula McLain- A period thriller that started to put the real life murder of a child (Polly Klaas) as part of the ongoing fictional investigation
Dearest, by Jackie Walters- Didn't like the audio reading
Body Neutral, by Jessi Kneeland- This is also on my read this because I got 75% of the way through before giving up on if the author would focus on external problems facing fat people
The Princess and the Goblin, by George McDonald- Very old fashioned writing so it's too slow and aimed too young for me
Voodoo Histories, by David Aaronovitch- The title is already iffy as a book about conspiracy theories, but I didn't need a white British man lumping the idea that the US government killed MLK together with moon landing theories
What Lies Between Us, by John Marrs- Seemed to be intent on demonizing the sluttiness of a teenage character despite knowing it's rape because the men she sleeps with are adults. Even though the book seems to be interested in the idea of mutual abuse or a level of justified abuse, the daughter character rarely feels like a real person, which takes away the nuance.
The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern- I knew this was a fantasy but not that it was a period romance, the hardest thing for me to read
Jaws, by Peter Benchley- Someone gets eaten by a shark and I'm supposed to spend several minutes of the beginning on the chief's wife's marriage insecurities?
Black Cake, by Charmaine Wilkerson- Didn't not finish by choice, it's just always got a long wait list and is easy to put off when it's on Hulu
The Girl in Red, by Christine Henry- It's only on ebook at my library, which is harder for me to finish
One of Our Own, by Lucinda Berry- Hated the audio production
The Genesis of Misery, by Neon Yang- I'm too Episcopalian for this book
The Fifth Season, by N.K. Jemison- Too apocalyptic for me, I am Not here for that existential dread
Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries, by Heather Fawcett- TOO BRITISH
Autonomous, by Annalee Newitz- Is really bad at writing slavery
Weyward, by Emilia Hart- It started engaging in a very pro-life narrative where the lead didn't want a baby and the pregnancy tied her to her abusive husband she was hiding from but she goes to a clinic where the nurses are openly judging her wanting an abortion and she's forced to see sonograms and oh my gosh these common manipulation tactics used in pregnancy crisis centers totally worked and now the lead will be happier for it
I want to know what books, if any, you've DNF'd this year!
Ooh only three!
Not In Love - Ali Hazelwood
Failure to Match - Kyra Parsi
The Ritual - Shantel Tessier
My standards are LOW lol but these were just not it for me.
Strange the Dreamer - Beautiful but I have DNFed it
I have seen Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor mentioned many times across all bookish social media platforms and I can see why it’s so popular. The world is incredible rich and lush and beautiful, however, I have read 180 pages and I have no interest in continuing this book. Why is that? Let me start by saying this is not because I dislike the book. On the contrary, I find it to be an…

2•22•23 || I couldn’t get into these violent delights and had to stop on page 209. Apparently I’m not alone on this. I googled to see if I was the only one adding this to their DNF list.
