Eek- I hope you start feeling better soon! All those blood tests are no fun :( I take my Gramma for bloodwork all the time and she hates it. She gets so dizzy from not eating.

As far as putting books down goes, I try to read at least 100 pages before calling it quits. I hate wasting my time on books I'm not enjoying!

Thanks for visiting my blog on the Hop! Today's question couldn't have come at a better time, since I am currently reviewing a book that I am having trouble getting into!

I'm with you, if it's a library book, who cares, I'll put it down. and sometimes i'm just not in the mood for it, and pick it up again a few days later, and I like it just fine. Sometime tho, the book just sucks.

if it's a book I've made a committment to review (either to myself or a pub), I better slog it out. sometimes I've sent an e-mail saying this book just isn't for me, and sometimes i've trashed the book in the review.

if it's a book I bought, and it's just not for me, i'll trade it in at the used bookstore.

As usual you are perfect with explaining yourself and your actions, reactions, and thoughts. Gosh, if you are this good when you're "fuzzy" you will really rock when you are clear-headed. I'm hoping and praying for answers and "clarity" for you!

Yep, I'm also like you in the DNF category. I am more willing these days to set something aside for the right time or just stop it altogether if it just isn't working for me. I'm even getting better at doing that with Book Group books. Sometimes I'll just go and be the dissenting voice. I always admire how succinct you are even when you don't truly like a book. You always praise the author and their talent while giving a fair review. That's hard to do when you've invested your time in something that doesn't work.

I have truly loved my fall break....enjoy YOUR Monday when we go back. :( (No really, I love having the kids to share books with!)

PS - I'm laughing that your next book is Maze Runner. I just started it last night - 2 pages in. Let's compare notes!

Hi! Happy Follow Friday! Just stoppin’ on by. <3 I’m a new follower.

I also think that there are too many books in the TBR pile to keep on with books that you don't like!

I cannot wait to read Faithful Place. I love Tana French's 2 other books and I'm so excited to read another one!

I hope you are feeling better soon, happy weekend

Yeah, sometimes no matter how much you force yourself, it's just not going to happen. On top of that, if it does, the author/publisher probably doesn't want to hear the review anyways!

Check out my Blog Hop and Follow Friday HERE!

If we can't get into the book after the first 100 pages or so, we generally give up on it and move on; however, I felt like quitting on "The Choice" by Nicholas Sparks but am so glad I didn't. The end was really good and made me think.

You're it! We tagged you for a meme at http://ourstack.blogspot.com/2010/10/were-it-been-tagged-by-coffee-n.html

Thank you so much for visiting my blog! I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well, and hope that you feel better soon. Maybe knowing you have one more follower will help? ;)

I've never heard of Faithful Place before, but I'll have to check it out because of your recommendation! It sounds good. Thanks again, and I can't wait to read your future posts. You really have a lovely blog here. :D
