Weekly question: When you read a book that you just can't get into, do you stick it out and keep reading or move to your next title?
I've learned that sticking it out, and continuing to a read a book I'm not enjoying, doesn't make me like the book any more. If anything, it just makes the reading experience that much worse. So if I'm not enjoying it, I'll just move on to the next in the pile.
I do not review books that I do not finish.
Hey Alissa, just hopping on by! I'm the same way, I usually don't force myself to keep reading if I'm really not into a book.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could give myself permission to do that. But I want to review everything I read, and I don't feel like I can give something an honest review if I haven't finished it.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by from the Hop. Have a great weekend!
Just hoppin' on by to say "Hi!"
ReplyDeleteI will stick with it and finish a book even if I don't like it. And if it's part of a series I will finish that too. I feel like I'm going to miss something incredible if I don't. LoL
Happy reading this weekend!

ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I usually don't like pushing through books I'm disliking because they're supposed to grab me right at the start. However, there are books I've pushed through that I've ended up liking by the end.
ReplyDeleteWhen a book sucks from beginning to end it is definitely a painful experience. Sometimes though a book gets better and really surprises you in the end! I have a really hard time putting a book down, but sometimes I really wish I could do it...I'd get through so many more in my TBR pile lol.
