Feature and Follow Friday (2)



The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!
Question of the Week
How do you handle a book you don’t like? Do you DNF or do you power through?

I use to try to power through and finish books I did not like, but I don't anymore. I do to a certain extent, but once I reach my breaking point I have to stop. I don't give out DNF's often, but I refuse to put myself through torture trying to finish a book I just can't get into...I feel like giving a DNF is a review in itself on how you felt about the book. Trying to force myself to finish a book give me headaches. Why force yourself to read a book you're not liking when you could be spending your time reading something amazing?

Follow by either GFC or Bloglovin, it doesn't not matter to me.
Just let me know which one :)

    I agree with you, I would rather be reading something I love than something I really don't like.

    So true! Why waste your time reading a lousy book, when you could be reading something incredible!

    Once upon a time I'd always finish a book but nowadays no. I really have no more patience and I dnf books easily. Great answer :)

    I feel so guilty to when I DNF a book. It's worse the week after I read the book, especially when I find a book so much worse than that one...and then with the new book I feel guilty for reading because it's awful but also guilty if I don't finish that one since the first was a DNF. It's just no good on my conscious.

    I don't like DNFing a book, but you are right, why should I spend my free time reading something I don't like or enjoy?

    Thanks for stopping by my FF post earlier. I'm following you back via Bloglovin.

    I agree. If I force myself to finish and I still don't like it then I'm just even more irritated. Happy Friday! New bloglovin follower.

    I hate not finishing a book, but as I'm getting busier then it's becoming a little easier. There are so many good books out there that I'm going to have to DNF more often to get to them. Following you back on Bloglovin'.

    Completely and utterly agree. I also put down books I'm not enjoying when there are so many potentially amazing books waiting to be read from your bookshelf! :)

    New follower via GFC - love if you could do the same! :P

    Usually I will give it 50-100 pages before I DNF if I'm not enjoying it. I used to power through but I no longer have the time and it turned reading into a chore. There are too many books I'm excited to start DNFs don't bother me but I am picky about what I read though so only have 1 DNF so far!

    Very true, but I just can't help but try to power through it. I am trying to learn to put books down, but it just stresses me out!
