Been trying to get into some new podcasts. Tried Behind the Bastards and it just wasn't good. The knowledge presented was shallow, it was edited poorly, and the guests were awful.

Star Wars: Master of Evil. I've loved most of the recent Star Wars books, but this one was so disappointing.

24/7 Demon Mart
Ok, tbf it was a 99¢ audiobook of the first three books in a LitRPG series so it really is my own fault for thinking it would be anything other than what it is. But in my defense, I don’t mind the bad writing or ridiculous premise. To me, those are features, not bugs. But the MC is extremely sexist at the beginning and it’s so severe that I’m not sure I can keep with it long enough to find out if he develops beyond that.

Behind the Bastards is so hit or miss IMO.

Mary Roach writes a lot of highly regarded nonfiction so I tried it and... yeesh, her writing style just is not my thing.

my best friend recommended Peaky Blinders, probably because it's a period piece about gangsters and she knows I love Boardwalk Empire but PB just didn't do it for me.

Years ago, I was excited for Peaky Blinders. I also enjoyed Boardwalk Empire a lot and I've always loved Cillian Murphy in anything I watched him in. IIRC I watched until close to the end of season 2 or partway through season 3. None of the characters really captured me and it felt more like a chore to watch the show than was enjoyable to watch.

I think it's one of the shows where you have barely if any likeable characters. I don't mind unlikable characters, but when that's the whole cast, I have no interest in the show. Same reason I hated GoT.

I actually love shows with unlikeable characters. But I do prefer for there to be a level of nuanced insight to said terrible people's lives. Considering there wasn't any character I can recall, I think Peaky Blinders' delivery with their characters wasn't connecting with me.

I loved Game of Thrones early. Hated Cersei Lannister but I was engrossed with seeing where the show was going with her. I saw the shit hand she was dealt with an unloving and resentful husband and I saw how much she loved her children. I didn't want to see Cersei win, in fact I often wanted to see her be killed off...but she was compelling. I was stunned at the levels she went to in order to try to get the upper hand and to do what she considered the best for her family.

But yeah. Something in Peaky Blinders wasn't connecting =(

A Chinese BL webnovel that started out with a rare subgenre that I like (artifact/weapon crafting) but apparently the author decided halfway through she wanted to write a different novel and threw the main character in a different world with a completely different plot. Which would be fine in a 300 chapter + novel but this one got a bit over a hundred, and the other world arc still isn't over 3/4ths to the end so I don't have any hope it'll go back to the original plot in any satisfactory manner.

New Zealand Spy. It was recc'd by a friend, and I was interested in the concept, so I was prepared to enjoy it! But as I watched the first ep, I found myself hating one of the MMCs so bad I just have not bothered going back to watch any more episodes. :(
