I finish em because it’s good for me.
I make exceptions if my library loan is due + I can’t renew but that happens pretty infrequently.

Did not finish- sometimes I’m just not in the right headspace to enjoy a book that sounded so good a few months ago. Donate or leave in a little box on your stoop- what’s not right for you might be great for someone else!

the last time I forced it was the marriage portrait by Maggie o something and while I do think the last four pages of the book were the best of the entire book, I feel like the rest of it was not worth it. I think most books that I consider DNFing and end up reading all the way through, I would say the same for. it’s almost like a sense of FOMO where you’re going to miss some great sensation or sense of understanding shared by everyone who’s read the book if you don’t finish it but I’d say it’s almost always not worth it

i’m needing to remind myself that being odd and dressing uniquely is not a bad thing. going back to university and not knowing anyone in my classes while also showing up in a full tweed suit or a tetris cardigan or a long brocade jacket is okay. don’t let the uniqueness leave you just because people give you strange looks.
be more like the girl that dresses in head to toe lolita coords every day. or the guy that came to class dressed as soulja boy for no particular reason. get weird with it!!
