Weaveworld by Clive Barker
656 pages, owned since 2018
Did Not Finish on 10/01

I started this book back in September 2019. I have read 37% of it, and since it's 600+ pages, that's a significant amount. For some reason, I can't pick it up. I don't think I will get much enjoyment out of it, so it goes to the DNF pile.

Smoke & Summons by Charlie N. Holmberg

Did Not Finish on 14/01
⭐

I'm no longer enjoying this book, so I don't want to bother with finishing it. I can finish it probably, but I can also use that time to read things I'll enjoy way more than I'm enjoying Smoke & Summons.

Bonus:

Today I gave a bunch of books to a friend. Most of them were ones I've already read, but two I gave without reading. A couple years back I've read a book by Lovecraft, and I don't want to repeat the experience.

At the Mountains of Madness (2018)
The Shadow Over Innsmouth (2017)

I'm not counting these towards the challenge, but it's worth mentioning.

The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
183 pages, owned since 2017
Did Not Finish

I originally started reading this book in January 2019, and then left it because I just couldn't make myself sit through it. I'd thought I'll go back to it and finish it some day, but right now I'm officially giving up on it.

That's why I'm adding it to my Mount TBR 2020, even though I actually tried reading it last year. I have no hope left regarding The Invisible Man.

Sorry, Wells.
