This is a meme hosted every Friday by Parajunkee, where book bloggers answer a question each week and check out how others answered it. It's a cool way for bloggers and viewers to connect and learn more about each other!
Question: How do you handle a book you don't like? Do you DNF or do you power through?
Answer: I have this really weird need to finish every book I read. Even if I don't really like it, I'll stick it out and at least skim the rest. I feel like since I already invested some time into the book, I have to finish it. If not, it'll sit on my shelf taunting me and I don't even know where to put it! To I put that book in the part of my bookshelf where my finished books are? Or do I put it with the books I have read? I don't know! It's just too stressful to start and book and NOT finish it. So I finish almost everything I read :)
I have to finish the book too. I just can't leave it unfinished. It will haunt me. :)

Nice! I use to be like that, but with the growing TBR pile, I've come to a decision that I can't finish everything if I am not enjoying it. There have been a very rare few books that I just couldn't handle after so many pages. Generally before the halfway mark. I have too much else to read and a lot of what I want to read to try to finish one I'm not enjoying.

I try really hard to finish a book too but if I absolutely cannot get into it after half way through I may DNF. :-)

Yes! I'm the exact same way! I always have to finish or at least skim it.

I always continue through with books because I don't like not finishing. I'm an old follower. :b
ReplyDeleteI feel the exact same! I hate not finishing books, it is just too stressful!

I used to think like that, but there's just so many other things that I could be reading. I don't want to spend so much time on something that I don't like to miss out on something I might LOVE!

I almost always need to finish the book too! I always feel really guilty not finishing one.
