This is probably my last DNF Round-Up for a while, since I read all my July books and didn't DNF any, and I've almost finished my August books and haven't DNF'D any there either, so two months of full book reading, I'm happy.

I didn't finish The Truth Against the World because it was 1) boring and 2) about Wales and Welsh people. Welsh people should not read it.
Yeah. I got to 14% and put it on hold. I never picked it back up.
The whole "pretending to be a boy and they don't know she's a girl until oops they do' rubs me the wrong way for some reason, especially because she's liking the one guy and yeah, if it's supposed to be a transgender or gay romance, I'm for it, but because it's not, it just got weird.
And they all talked...weird. The adults didn't sound like adults, and that more than anything in a book, makes it all...off for me.

05/25 | "A Welsh person reading a book about and set in Wales. What could go wrong?..." | |||
05/26 | 14.0% | "Yeah and dw i'n hoffi coffi, but what the fuck has that got to do with anything?" | ||
05/29 | 14.0% | "You're on hold. Go sit in the naughty corner." | ||
Now, I didn't finish this because 1) boring (see the trend?) and 2) this should be marketed towards the younger YA than YA. It's kind of between MG-YA, it was just...ugh. I read the first 30% and then skimmed to 50% and gave up.

Take Back the Skies got a good review from Arianne on my blog, but I haven't read it myself. I don't have all that many DNF - I tend to stick to books till the bitter end, although I have abandoned one or two lately.

I'm used to heavier books you know? So I don't read that many light ones, but it did just feel like a MG, and though I've read a few which I loved, I guess I have to be in the mood for one. Ha, I used to, too. I can't take the torture anymore though. ;)
