Here is where we can all cry, rant, rage or whatever else about our (hopefully) current or future dumpees. Or just cry.

I want to dump Dune so badly but my dad wants me to finish it :( I'll probably finish it sometime within the next five years

I will probably DNF the other Halse book I have on my tbr (I read one recently and hated it so I don't think I'll be able to read this one)

Which ones were they? I think I read one once, but it was a million years ago...

Eclipse deserves to be dumped. Sorry you had to sample before you dumped. Want to rant about it?

Is Dune really that bad? I’m planning to read it soon. Does your dad like it and what don’t you like about it, spoiler-free?

@AtheReader oh...maybe I have the wrong author. I’ve never regard of those. Are they really so bad?

@Annie if it hurts that bad, you shouldn’t force it. Find something in that category that doesn’t drive you craZy and try again later with this one...

The author is Laurie Halse Anderson and I've read mostly her later works and most of her earlier ones are pretentious and kinda useless. But I hope that I like The Impossible Knife of Memory more!
