Coming back to this at another time 

The Crown Conspiracy by Michael J. Sullivan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

The styling of the characters was hard for me; I craved more depth but did not get that from these two. They were so funny and witty, but that wasn't enough to carry me over. 

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White

Have You Eaten Yet?: Stories from Chinese Restaurants Around the World by Cheuk Kwan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 48%.

This was so interesting in the beginning, but so many of the stories got to be more or less the same as the chapter before it. 

It was not a bad book by any means, but it isn't something that I will complete.

Revenge by Yōko Ogawa
Did not finish book. Stopped at 36%.

This was a collection of 'horror' short stories. I believe I made it through 5 or so - two of which were connected. 

There wasn't really enough to keep me interested in the plot to make me want to come back and read more. The style in some of these were a bit different from other things I have read by Ogawa. I may check in on this again, but for right now, I needed to put it down.
