It's so bad it's almost kind of good. I think it would such all the joy and fun out of reading if I read books with the thought of what other people will think (or judge) about them.

Why should I feel guilty-- not everyone has the same taste in books, and while I don't like it, there'll be many others lined up to read it. I'm a people-pleaser, which also translates into an author/blogosphere pleaser, unfortunately unless I put my foot down.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this with us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-68454636469344169532018-02-22T22:55:45.329-08:002018-02-22T22:55:45.329-08:00I think life is too short to endure things we don&...I think life is too short to endure things we don't enjoy. In the past I tend to feel guilty for DNF'd a book. Even now I'll give the book a chance to read a few more chapters if it doesn't engage me but if I still don't find interest in it, then it's time for me to dump the book. :( Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-9287595610967645752018-02-22T15:03:57.546-08:002018-02-22T15:03:57.546-08:00I love this!
