Someone commented on my review that they felt the storyline of the girl's adoptive parents might have been a good one to further develop and I agreeBooksnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197753056299399065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-20600524273342489522013-05-23T08:42:26.862-05:002013-05-23T08:42:26.862-05:00Lisa, I hate to DNF a book, but sometimes you just...Lisa, I hate to DNF a book, but sometimes you just have to. Sounds like this book wasn't working for you, so its definitely understandable that you had to let it go :) I'm trying to get through my review books (there are too many) and I tend to use that "stop reading if its not working for me" gauge a lot more lately. Luckily, I've loved the books I've been reading, but there have been a few that have bit the dust a lot sooner. I just don't want to waste my time on a book that just isn't my cup of tea - there are too many good ones out there.

I don't. I stopped that practice long ago because there are way too many books I want to read. And good ones that deserve my attention..<br /><br />I usually give a book 50 pages, maybe 100 depending on how I feel. Then there are times where the characters are utterly ridiculous to me, and by page 10, I stop.<br />My reading habits have soared since starting this DNF practice several years ago.<br /><br />Come...come to the dark side of quitting books that suck in your opinion :)Jenny Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077659644092707107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-51425694795574139522013-05-22T08:14:28.878-05:002013-05-22T08:14:28.878-05:00It's always a bummer when you have a book that...It's always a bummer when you have a book that you just can't get into.
