I think its better to simply DNF a book or just put it down and pick something up that you know you'd really enjoy. I don't think of it as failing (or not anymore anyways)- I think of it as not wasting my time on a book that I don't like while I can spend it on books that I'd enjoy WAY more. Idk the topic is controversial, but don't feel bad because you DNFd books. It's okay hahaha♥<br /><br />PS, I'm a new follower of yours :)<br />Have a great day!<br />Jumana @ <a href="booksbyj.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Books by Jay</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04960073948185616106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101744317501146016.post-61914940700144643352015-08-02T10:16:03.297-07:002015-08-02T10:16:03.297-07:00I'm really trying to get into this routine as ...I'm really trying to get into this routine as of now but it's still a bit difficult for me to put a book down because I feel that I might not be giving it a fair chance.. But reading is something you should enjoy doing and I really think it's not worth finishing a book you don't like because at the end of the day you won't get anything from it except a mild case of reading slump!<br />I'll be sure to check out your post when it's up! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955297110099836468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101744317501146016.post-59839287013369402542015-08-02T10:05:52.918-07:002015-08-02T10:05:52.918-07:00In the past I always tried to finish a book too, e...In the past I always tried to finish a book too, even if I wasn't liking it. But, with my Tbr having reached a number over 100 I don't really have the luxury of risking a reading slump anymore...

For me, if I'm 100 pages or so into a book and still aren't excited to get back to it, that's a sign that it isn't working for me. I read so much for an editorial internship that any book I read on my own time needs to capture me!<br /><br />Great post!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268968188566984912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101744317501146016.post-26128338094723755252015-07-17T10:58:34.696-07:002015-07-17T10:58:34.696-07:00I've only ever DNF'd one book, and that wa...I've only ever DNF'd one book, and that was because I really just couldn't get into it. Other than that, I've never not finished one because I keep reading in the hopes that it gets better. However, as my to be read pile gets larger, I may have to start DNFing if I'm not enjoying myself. Also, when I force myself to read a book I'm not enjoying, it tends to cause a reading slump. :/<br />Krystianna @ <a href="http://downrightdystopian.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Downright Dystopian</a>Krystiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793987066964047092noreply@blogger.com
