Musing Monday is hosted over at Should Be Reading.
This week’s musing, courtesy of “iamciska.tumbler.com“, asks…
What was the last book you could not finish and why?
The last book I could not finish was Spying in High Heels by Gemma Halliday . For me the book was just not well written at all. The story did not seem to have a good plot process and the writing over all reminded me of a bad Fan Fic. On the plus side it was a free book from Amazon so at least though I couldn’t finish it I only lost time.
Gotta love those free books! Thanks for dropping by my blog.

That is usually the reason why I stay away from the freebies.
Thanks for dropping by on my MM
Yeah it is a lesson I will be learning I am sure as I go along. I have only had my Kindle for a short time. However I have found some GREAT reads in the freebies too.
There aren’t a lot of books I can’t finish. Sometimes it’s because the narrative doesn’t flow well for me.
I agree with you, I’ve found some good books in the freebies. I also read where authors like us to read their free books, and review them. Thanks for the visit today.
Some freebies aren’t all that great, but I always download ones with interesting summaries just in case I stumble upon a gem. =) Like you said, if it’s bad, you only wasted time, not money!
Thanks for stopping by!
I have that on my TBR pile. I guess it should go near the bottom. Thanks for visiting.
I should probably read more books by indie authors, especially since you can pick them up for free pretty frequently. I just have a hard time reading books on my kindle when reading a physical book is an option!
Poor writing is something I can’t overlook either. At least your book was free! That’s one good thing about it. Thanks for stopping by Southern Girl Reads today!
I hate poor writting, although I tried to overlook it most of the time. Sometimes a story can have a great plot but when the writing is too bad, you may get lost… Thanks for stopping by my MM 🙂
Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog!
Spying in High Heels sounds like a bad one.
Never heard of this book, but DNF is never a really good sign 😉 Thanks for stopping by my post!
Uh oh! I have Spying in High Heels on my kindle. I really enjoyed Gemma Halliday’s YA series, Deadly Cool, and was looking forward to seeing what her adult series was like. Sigh…I’ll give it a try and see how it goes.
Thanks for stopping by my musing earlier!
