Wendy Palmer<p>I just tried to read a fantasy cosy with a remarkably dark opening for a cosy. That’s not what made me DNF, I like cosies with actual plots.</p><p>The lead was in thrall to a dark lord, Force-choked his prisoner, and bore a remarkable resemblance to Kylo Ren. I dont mind fanfic, I bitterly resent thinly disguised fanfic which is repackaged into a published book but not owned upfront. But that’s not what made me DNF.</p><p>I DNF because the lead character had an incredibly inauthentic reaction to what amounts to being forced to be a child-soldier. Those people really exist out there in the world, living with their very real and deep trauma. If you’re going to use the scenario as your glib backstory, at least do your damn research. And if you want to keep it light and cosy, for the love of god, *different backstory*. But you can’t have all the dark attractive bits of a poor tortured Kylo Ren and then not properly deal with the trauma.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/CrankyBookRant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrankyBookRant</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DNF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNF</span></a></p>

Reading Recluse<p>Instead of saving up all of my DNFs (books I didn't finish) until the end of the year, I'm thinking of posting about them monthly (if there are any) and keeping them collected for the year in this thread.</p><p>So, to start, here are some of my January reading letdowns: </p><p>🔵 "Het smelt" by Lize Spit</p><p>A Belgian book, the English translation is called 'The Melting'. Kind of Dimitri Verhulst, in a modern jacket. I don't like it and I gave up. Lots of scenes of abuse and sexual assault that I didn't want to sit through. </p><p>I laughed a lot when some Dutch-speaking reviewer called it 'pipi kaka-verhaaltjes', which literally translates into 'peepee poopoo stories'. It's because this book combines every lowbrow, tacky, lower-class, farmer, countryside cliché that Flemish culture is known for by itself into one. I'm not sure if a foreign language reader would interpret it as such, but anyone familiar here must be cringing at least twice per page. It's not necessarily all untrue but... I couldn't take it very seriously.</p><p>Still making pipikaka-jokes with my partner about anything stereotypical we encounter to this day and laughing heartily about it.</p><p>🟢 "How China Escaped Shock Therapy" by Isabella M. Weber</p><p>Fascinating book, a topic I'm very interested in. But I found out that apparently I'm not interested enough to wrestle myself through an incredibly academic, dry text about it (sorry, author, nothing personal, please don't take offense). My pea brain rolled under the fridge and refused to deal with the hundreds of pages that were left for me according to my ereader. Please, someone else read this and explain it to me like I'm 5 years old so I can enjoy the information too.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/DNF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNF</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a></p>
