Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (audiobook)
To be honest, this book doesn’t really grab my attention. I started tuning out after chapter 7 or 8 and I finally decided to abandon it after chapter 16. There is nothing really wrong with the author or the narrator per se but it is just not my cup of tea. The plot is essentially too romance-centric and lacking in the type of excitement that I need to sustain interest and the bit of Scottish meta is not absorbing enough for me to really enjoy. So no point for me to just breeze through without really paying attention to it.
One Hundred years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marqez (audiobook)
Again, I did not finish this audiobook because the long Spanish names are getting too confusing and I am mostly tuning out of this story, being absorbed in online jigsaw puzzles that I do concurrently to listening (else I will literally fall asleep). I think when I chose this book it was marketed as magic realism but in practice this just read to me as if it’s a Spanish family historical saga (the magic realism was at the earlier chapters but did not actually feature largely in the story, at least not in 7 chapters)
