Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly meme/feature hosted by Alison Can Read & Parajunkee.
Hey guys! It's been awhile since I've done this meme and I've missed it! Such a great way to start conversations and meet new bloggers! Also, I'm nearing the 100 follower mark- and I think that might mean my first giveaway... just putting that out there;)
This week's topic is:
How do you handle a book you don't like? Do you DNF or do you power through?
I always finish the book. I'm a little obsessive about that. For one I was raised to finish what I started. And two, because I believe in giving the book a full chance- sometimes they redeem themselves (even if only a little bit) with a good ending or what sounds like a promising sequel.
But in truth, I hardly ever pick up a book I don't think I'll like. I know my taste and can tell by the blurb, author, cover, or reviews if I'll like it. Usually I only ever read a book I don't like when reading something I was sent for review or for school- in both cases I have to finish anyway.

What about you? Do you suffer through or drop it? Let me know, leave me your links, or just say hi!
Have a great weekend!

I will try my very hardest to finish a book but if I absolutely can't get into it by half way through I may DNF. I just have way too many books to read. :-) New bloglovin follower
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my FF. I used to be like you with books, but I have so many and so little time, I've started not finishing books when I don't like them in the first 15%.

Haha, I'm not as patient as you! Although I do try to power through, sometimes I just give up.
