Sigh. No sooner do I finally, finally, for the first time this year, get my mean rating at Goodreads up to 3.0 stars on the year with my most recent four-star read, than I crack my next book which despite a rating over four stars at Goodreads is only going to get two from me. Unfortunately, it's not quite bad enough to abandon.
And I have only myself to blame. Well, duh, but I identified the problem in a post two weeks ago:

And this current two-star read is yet another where a passing mention led me to reading it, instead of the things I really do want to read. I don't learn!
The longer this goes on, the much more difficult it's going to be to get my overall rating for the year to a respectable level. Despite my fondest hopes, it's
hard to identify four and five star reads in advance, and I need a flurry of them now.
ETA: Well, alrighty! I'm glad I posted because I've come to my senses. No point in throwing good reading time after bad. I
am abandoning the book.
