Women's Hotel by Daniel M. Lavery
Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.

Couldn’t  get through first chapter because I didn’t care for the writing style of author. Didn’t think I could take an entire book of it. 

The Toy Makers by Robert Dinsdale
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.

Started off promising, but I became bored with all the never ending descriptions of the unusual toys in the emporium. Maybe it got better, but knowing I had over 400 pages to read, I decided to DNF the book.
