I have skimmed one as well.<br /><br />Tiyana,<br />The book has to be awful for me to put it down.<br /><br />Christina,<br />I had to stop thinking like that too because I have lots of books on my TBR as well. :-DTyhitia Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070000168178880911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155447609334136808.post-52968761174954200492012-02-04T08:09:34.295-05:002012-02-04T08:09:34.295-05:00I agree.

I think I own a few 1,000 novels.LoveRundlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177659277273835858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155447609334136808.post-72593526474904736112012-02-02T11:49:38.690-05:002012-02-02T11:49:38.690-05:00Oh!

T...Oh! You're on Goodreads? I must find you!<br /><br />To answer your question, heh, sometimes I will put books down after getting a few hundred pages in. I try to come back to them, eventually, so I can say I finished it, heh. Though, some I just have to abandon altogether (but that's rare).<br /><br />Sometimes I just get distracted by new arrivals, and if the current story I'm reading is lackluster, then the shiny new book usually wins out, lol.Tiyana Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022663279469468201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155447609334136808.post-14153840806062306412012-02-01T14:23:34.009-05:002012-02-01T14:23:34.009-05:00very very rarely do I put it down. However, I will...very very rarely do I put it down. However, I will allow myself to scan the rest of the book after I lose interest, if not actually stop reading it. I'm reading one like that now.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
