You finally get your hands on that book you've been dying for, you rush home snuggle up and jump right in! But half way through your incredibly bored and find that your pushing yourself through it. To finish or not to finish?
I've had a couple of these instances lately and just put them back on the shelf completely disinterested. One was Splendor of the Luxe series and another was Add More ~Ing To Your Life. I was antsy to get both of these and both fell incredibly flat. Huge disappointment. Especially Splendor, though I may attempt it again later down the line just to find out what happens to all the girls (it's the last book).
What kind of reader are you? Do you always have to finish a book no matter what? Or do you put it back on the shelf once you lose interest? Do you start over when your in the mood for that kind of read? Or pick back up where you left off a few weeks later?
I don't have to finish a book if I dont like it, but I will try before I give up. I tried for ages to get into an equal music by Vikram Seth before I gave up.
