It's Monday! What Are You Reading? #314: My First DNF of the Year

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Book Date and Unleashing Reads.

DNF:

This book was terrible. So terrible that I DNFd it at 23%. The premise sounded interesting but good god I could not take the racism or sexism in the book. The crew consists of 7 people and 2 of them are female, and at one point one of the guys was like, oh it's a good thing the women are both attractive because it could be a long year.... like they weren't 2 professionals there to do a job and instead were there to entertain him 🙃 I was out. This completely ruined my mood for anymore horror books that take place under/on the water 😠

What I read:

I was very excited to read Lying in the Deep, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I don't usually suffer from secondhand embarrassment, unless it's a contemporary, but even then it's never been as bad as reading this book. The MC made bad decision after bad decision and... I usually enjoy I good trainwreck, but I didn't here. It wasn't a bad book, it just wasn't for me.
The Scourge Between the Stars was a space horror and it was okay. It was a very short, suspenseful read, but it just wasn't anything amazing.
Quackery on the other hand, I loved! It was intriguing and engaging, and just really fun to read! I highly recommend this nonfiction book!

Up next:

After the not great week of reading, I don't really know what I want to read next, so I may go back to another Julia Huni book because I know I like her stuff. Lol.

What are you reading this week?
