Having trouble figuring out what to read this summer? I found this cool flowchart through Shelf Awareness, courtesy of teach.com. Check it out:
My summer reading began with Swamplandia!. But I have to be honest, I cannot get into it. I’m a little less than halfway through it and am so tempted to stop and move on to another novel. I make it a rule to not give up on a book, even if doing so is torture, I always finish a book. Now, as a super busy mom with a full-time job and a strict writing schedule, it may be time to nix that rule. I don’t have time to waste on a book I don’t enjoy.
Do you finish a book, even if you aren’t enjoying it? How many chances do you give a novel before you give it the boot? Or are you a reading soldier, trudging along each agonizing sentence until the last word, never giving up?
I look forward to reading your personal philosophy on finishing novels! Happy reading and writing!
There's that word..."trudge"! I'm a trudger. If I start a book, I MUST finish it so I'm kinda picky when I get them. I only read things that come recommended and even then it depends on who's doing the recommending.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...maybe that's what I need to do, be a little more picky when choosing what to read. That's good advice! Thank you! :)
DeleteYeah I always finish it. Which is why I'm almost done reading the entire Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. I swear that's why...
ReplyDeleteI won't tell you how much that made me cry.
DeleteThis was so fun! I love flowcharts like this. :)
ReplyDeleteSo do I! I bet it would be fun creating one too! :)
