Mini-Muse Monday: Book-Tossing Time

 

I realized a few weeks ago that I have never read the books of several authors I’ve either become good friends with or have participated in varies projects with. Some of them write genres I don’t read, and I know they won’t read mine for the same reason, but many do write my favorite types of books.

 

I know it’s impossible to read everything I’d like to, but I decided to make more of an effort to be supportive, and besides, it’s a great way to poke around and see what other readers are enjoying.

In recent weeks, I’ve attempted to expand my reading repertoire and have cracked open a whole bunch of books, mostly of authors whose work I hadn’t had the pleasure of reading.

 

I have little spare time, though I have always loved to read. I try to set aside time every evening to indulge.

 

I’ve read a few really extraordinary novels, a few that were quite good, but I probably wouldn’t read another by the author, and I had three I did not finish. They weren’t awful, by any means, but the voice and story didn’t engage me.

 

I used to read an entire book, cover to cover, no matter what, but that has changed. As I said before, I have little spare time, and reading a book that just isn’t doing it for me, when there are so many I could be reading … Well, I don’t feel guilty anymore when I close it (or push an icon on my Ipad) and move on to the next story on my list.

 

I know readers haven’t finished my books. They tell me quite bluntly in a review. Hey, I’m okay with that, because you might be surprised at the authors of some of the books I haven’t finished, although I’d never be rude or unkind and tell them.

For this Monday’s discussion, what I’d like to know, is do you always finish a book once you start it, or, like me if the story isn’t for you, do you put it aside?  

 

What other than not liking the story all that much will cause you to close the book permanently?
