You wanted to read the book, you were excited to crack it open, you came into it with good faith and anticipation… but you ended up dnf-ing it. Which book and why?

Mine was The Maid by Nita Prose. It was for my book club and looked like a fun murder mystery. Instead I got instant manic-pixie-dream-neurodivergent-girl vibes, and I noped out before the crime scene was even found.

    The first book from the tales for the flat Earth trilogy. Spoilers incoming because I don’t know how to make spoiler tags. I’m blind and I don’t know where the option is. So mods, instead of taking this down, can you show me how to fix this problem maybe? Anyway, when there was a demon raising a little boy, and then having sex with a little boy that he raised and then dwarves using some woman’s tears as lubrication and sex with spiders I don’t even know.

      Place >! !< around the text you wish to hide. You will need to do this for each new paragraph. Like this:

      >!The Wolf ate Grandma!&lt;
      

      Click to reveal spoiler.

      !The Wolf ate Grandma!<

          you can try it now here, i’ll let you know if it works or if you need to fix something.

          new reddit has the option to do it for you, but it might be more difficult to find and use it as it requires you highlight the text and then hit the spoiler button.
