Winter in the Air by Sylvia Townsend Warner
Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.

A real shame, I thought I was going to really like this. Enjoyed some of the stories but there were too many I didn’t enjoy from what I read so I think this collection is just not for me.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.

Didn’t like the writing style. Felt bored. Unrealistic dialogue. Also, to top it off, I didn’t find it funny. Not for me!

Was v. disappointed by this one. Maybe my expectations were too high but I was just so bored. Had zero motivation to pick up. Such a shame!
